19-2-2025 – World Liberty Financial (WLFI), a digital currency platform associated with former US President Donald Trump, has achieved a striking milestone in its token distribution campaign, with more than 96% of its total supply now claimed by investors.
According to recent Bloomberg reports, the platform has successfully distributed over 24 billion WLFI tokens since its inception roughly four months ago, leaving fewer than one billion tokens available for purchase. This surge in sales marks a significant turnaround from what industry observers initially described as a tepid launch.
The tokens, priced at five pence each, form part of an ambitious fundraising strategy targeting $300 million at a $1.5 billion valuation. The initiative, which commenced in mid-October, purportedly offers token holders the opportunity to participate in the platform’s governance structure through proposal submissions and voting mechanisms.
However, financial analysts have raised eyebrows regarding the limited scope of token holders’ rights. The current framework grants minimal voting privileges and notably excludes economic benefits, whilst implementing strict restrictions on token trading and redemption options.
In a notable development, prominent blockchain entrepreneur Justin Sun, known for founding the TRON network, has substantially increased his investment in the venture. Sun’s recent $45 million injection has elevated his total stake to $75 million, representing one of the most substantial individual investments in the platform to date.
The project has attracted particular attention due to its connection with the Trump family, including endorsements from the former president’s sons. However, this association has sparked debate within financial circles, with some experts expressing concern about potential conflicts of interest.
Venture capitalist Nic Carter voiced apprehension about the ethical implications of a former president’s involvement in such ventures, particularly given the possibility of future political influence on cryptocurrency regulations.
The broader cryptocurrency market has responded with characteristic volatility to these developments, with related digital assets experiencing significant price fluctuations.
