World Liberty Financial's Token Unlock Proposal Risks Creating Massive Selling Pressure
Public buyers of World Liberty Financial tokens will face selling pressure from a massive token unlock if a new proposal passes. The proposal seeks to unlock 62 billion WLFI tokens, valued at approximately $5 billion, over the next five years. 72% of these tokens are held by insiders, including President Donald Trump and his sons, while 27% belong to those who purchased tokens during public sales in 2024 and 2025. To unlock their holdings, insiders must burn 10% of their 45.2 billion tokens. Public buyers must affirmatively accept the new schedule during a 10-day window or remain locked indefinitely under existing terms. For public buyers, the unlock begins in 2028 and lasts two years. Insiders will see their tokens unlock over a period of three years starting in 2028. The availability of 62 billion tokens for sale will create selling pressure on a token already hovering near all-time lows.
