Token Price Reacts to Governance Shift
The WLFI token, linked to World Liberty Financial, dropped around 13% as voting began on a major governance proposal.
The proposal affects more than 62 billion tokens, making it one of the most significant decisions for the project so far.
What the Proposal Changes
The plan aims to replace indefinite token lockups with structured vesting schedules.
Most tokens would be locked for two years before gradually being released over an additional two to three years, depending on the holder group.
The goal, according to the team, is to provide more clarity around token supply and improve long-term stability.
Strong Pushback From Investors
Many early investors are pushing back against the proposal, arguing that it effectively delays access to their funds after they already committed capital early.
Some have described the change as a “bait-and-switch,” especially given the token’s decline from previous highs.
Political and Legal Context
The project has drawn attention due to its links to Donald Trump and ongoing disputes with major investors.
The outcome of the vote could reshape the project’s token economics and investor confidence moving forward.
