World Liberty Financial’s proposal to unlock 62 billion WLFI tokens is already set to pass, with early votes blowing past quorum and delivering near-unanimous support.
Under the plan, founders, team members and partners would burn 10% of their holdings, roughly 4.5 billion WLFI, to begin unlocking the remaining 40.7 billion tokens over a five-year schedule after a two-year cliff.
No tokens would reach the market for at least two years due to clipping periods. The shift marks a structural change in how WLFI is valued, replacing open lock-ups with predictable future supply and creating a clearer exit path for holders who previously had none.
This move appears to have near-unanimous support, with 99.5% voting in favor.
The vote also highlights the structure of WLFI’s leadership.
Participation levels are consistent with previous proposals, suggesting that a relatively small group of large holders can push through major tokenomic changes with limited resistance.
Voting power is highly concentrated among a small group of large holders. The largest wallet alone accounts for almost 13% of the votes cast, and the top four together control about 40% of the total voting power so far, enough to have a big impact on the outcome alone.
WLFI is also facing a lawsuit from Tron founder Justin Sun, who claims the project froze his tokens and stripped him of management rights, claims the company has denied.
