World Liberty Financial token holders should be excited about this move.

The Trump family’s World Liberty Financial will now make its $WLFI tokens tradable.

Initially, investors in $WLFI tokens were not able to trade their tokens, but holders of the token voted on Wednesday to make the $ WLFI now tradable.

Reuters provided more details on the move:

Holders of the digital tokens issued by World Liberty Financial, one of the crypto ventures of the family of Donald Trump, voted on Wednesday to make them tradeable, paving the way for their wide sale and purchase — potentially boosting the value of the president’s holdings of them.

The World Liberty tokens, known as $WLFI, were sold to investors after the Trump family and their partners launched the venture – a “decentralised finance” platform that has also issued a stablecoin – last autumn.

The tokens were not made tradeable at their initial sale. Instead, they gave holders a right to vote on some changes to the business, such as its underlying code. Early investors have said the primary draw of $WLFI was the connection to Trump and, in turn, their expectations the tokens would grow in value due to his backing.

Making the tokens tradeable would see investors determine their price, enabling speculation, earning trading fees for exchanges that list them and likely stoking interest from a wider swath of crypto investors.

The extent to which the Trump family, which reaps three-quarters of revenues from the initial sales of the tokens, will benefit from their wider trading is not clear.

Cointelegraph had these details to report on the move by World Liberty Financial:

Tokenholders of US President Donald Trump-backed crypto project World Liberty Financial (WLFI) have voted to make them tradable, opening the door for the Trump-linked token to increase in value.

The proposal submitted by the WLFI team on July 9 closed on Wednesday, with an “overwhelming” 99.94% in favor of the unlock. It will make the platform’s governance token tradable through peer-to-peer transactions and secondary markets.

“Following the vote to make the token tradable, WLFI’s governance framework will enable more tokenholders to participate directly in protocol decisions,” the WLFI team said in the proposal.
