On August 23, WLFI announced on platform X: WLFI tokens will launch on the Ethereum mainnet and open for trading on September 1. Early supporters (rounds at $0.015 and $0.05) will unlock 20%, while the remaining 80% will be decided by community voting.

Tokens for the founding team, advisors, and partners will not be unlocked. Trading will begin at 8:00 PM Beijing Time on September 1, along with the commencement of token claims for the 20% quota. A two-step claim process requires user action on the official website:

Step 1 (before September 1): Activate the lock-up contract on the official website (this action transfers WLFI to the unlock contract). Currently, the WLFI unlock contract holds 17.02 billion WLFI tokens;

Step 2 (from 8:00 PM on September 1 onward): Claim 20% of the unlocked tokens (approximately 3.44 billion).

According to an official podcast announcement by World Liberty Financial, the circulating supply of WLFI is 24,669,070,265 tokens, with a total supply of 100 billion, meaning 24.67% of the tokens have entered market circulation. Based on WLFI’s current pre-market price of $0.32, this implies that WLFI’s circulating market cap will reach $7.894 billion overnight, with an FDV of nearly $32 billion.

In the following week, multiple cryptocurrency exchanges announced their listing plans: OKX will open WLFI/USDT spot trading at 9:00 PM (UTC+8) on September 1, 2025; Binance will list World Liberty Financial (WLFI) with a seed tag, and WLFI deposit channels will open at 12:00 on the same day, with withdrawals expected to open at 9:00 PM on September 2, 2025; MGBX will launch WLFI spot trading at 20:00 (SGT) on September 1, 2025; additionally, Huobi HTX, Kraken, Bithumb, and others also announced upcoming WLFI listings.

Donald Trump Jr., the eldest son of Donald Trump, previously stated on platform X: He is working with his brother Eric Trump to promote WLFI’s development. Once WLFI tokens are launched, they will be available on major CEXs and decentralized platforms, ensuring global governance coverage and liquidity. “Looking forward to WLFI changing the game in the crypto space.”
