World Liberty has initiated the WLFI governance voting, which involves a 180-day governance reward program.The reward does not have a fixed interest rate, and the fund pool is jointly contributed by the project treasury and the transaction fee income from World Liberty Markets.

According to on-chain analyst Yu Jin's monitoring, a multi-signature wallet of WLFI transferred 88 million WLFI (approximately 5.09 million USD) to Binance half an hour ago.In the past month, this address has gradually transferred 248 million WLFI (approximately 13.55 million USD) to Binance.

On-chain data shows that 1.4175 billion WLFI tokens, matching the holdings disclosed by U.S. President Trump, were transferred into a lock-up contract via a multi-signature transaction on May 19, establishing the first clear monetization timeline for his approximately $800 million holdings. Participants in this vesting plan must immediately burn 10% of the tokens upon entry and set a two-year cliff period, followed by a linear release over three years, with the earliest sale not possible until May 2028.On-chain data indicates that a total of six internal wallets transferred tokens into this contract, with the largest wallet depositing 1.575 billion WLFI, retaining 1.4175 billion after burning, consistent with Trump's disclosed holdings; two other wallets each deposited 375 million, and three wallets each deposited 225 million. This lock-up contract is currently the largest single holder of WLFI, holding 4.61 billion tokens, nearly half of the total supply. The total supply of WLFI has been reduced from a cap of 10 billion to 9.67 billion.This vesting plan was created through a governance proposal passed around May 6, with 11,537 wallets voting in support. Founders who hold tokens can choose to convert indefinite lock-up into a two-year cliff period plus a three-year vesting period, with participation being voluntary. A spokesperson for World Liberty Financial, David Wachsman, stated that the community voted in support of the founders burning tokens, and the co-founders transferred tokens into a smart contract to complete the burn, taking on the strictest lock-up conditions among all token holders.

According to CNBC, the cryptocurrency project World Liberty Financial, supported by the Trump family, stated that the rapid growth of its stablecoin USD1 and actual market demand refute external doubts about the project primarily relying on political connections for development. Currently, the circulation scale of USD1 has exceeded 4 billion dollars.World Liberty Financial CEO Zach Witkoff stated that the growth of USD1 comes from the product itself and market adoption, rather than special treatment from the Trump administration. USD1 was previously used in the 2 billion dollar investment transaction by the Abu Dhabi investment firm MGX in Binance, which is also one of the most significant institutional applications of USD1 to date.Recently, World Liberty Financial also received preliminary conditional approval from the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) for a national trust bank charter, planning to directly issue and redeem USD1 through World Liberty Trust Company in the future, and manage its reserve assets. Regarding the project's relationship with the Trump family, some Democratic lawmakers in the U.S. continue to raise concerns about conflicts of interest.

According to on-chain analyst Yu Jin's monitoring, Longling Capital (隆领资本) (0x2a2b...a5DaF) transferred 65 million WLFI to Binance, worth 3.79 million USD.

According to the official announcement from Gate, Gate is collaborating with World Liberty Financial (WLFI) to promote the USD1 Points Program, and the second phase of the WLFI token airdrop is about to be distributed. The total amount of this airdrop is 700,000 WLFI, which will be allocated based on the proportion of points earned by users during the specified statistical period. All users holding points will receive the corresponding airdrop.The points statistics are valid until August 25 at 08:00 (UTC+8), and WLFI tokens will be directly credited to the spot accounts of eligible users on August 26 at 08:00 (UTC+8). It is worth noting that since Gate and WLFI jointly launched the USD1 Points Program in August 2025, the program has cumulatively distributed 3,000,000 WLFI tokens to participating users. In addition, the new phase of the USD1 Points Airdrop Program will be launched on August 26.

Tron founder Justin Sun stated that his lawsuit against World Liberty Financial (@worldlibertyfi) superficially involves a commercial dispute of $45 million and 4 billion tokens, but fundamentally concerns the founding principles of blockchain. He pointed out that the industry is built on the principle of "your keys, your coins," meaning that everyone can truly own their assets without permission.Justin Sun indicated that the case exposes the other party's secret embedding of the power to arbitrarily freeze user assets in the contract, which was not disclosed, lacked governance, and lacked procedures, and was exercised within days of unlocking their tokens. He believes this contradicts the name of "freedom"; if the issuer can confiscate holders' assets at any time, blockchain will be no different from the old world. He will pursue the lawsuit to the end, not only to recover assets but also to establish a precedent in court that "your assets must truly belong to you."

WLFI co-founder Zach Witkoff stated that Sun Yuchen's claims about the latest court ruling contain multiple false statements. Sun Yuchen previously claimed that the court supported his position and described the outcome as a "major victory," but in fact, the court did not make any ruling.Zach stated that Sun Yuchen packaged "temporarily leaving personal demands in court" as a victory, but WLFI never requested to submit his personal demands for arbitration. The motion to dismiss filed by WLFI regarding these personal demands is still pending a court ruling. In other words, the "court support" and "major victory" claimed by Sun Yuchen do not exist.

Sun Yuchen stated that his lawyer recently appeared in federal court in California to oppose World Liberty Financial (@worldlibertyfi)'s request to force the dispute into confidential arbitration and seal documents. The court ruled that all of Sun Yuchen's personal claims will continue to be heard in open court; at the same time, it rejected the suggestion to submit all company-related claims to arbitration and required both parties to negotiate which claims will remain in court and which will go to arbitration. Sun Yuchen called this a significant victory, emphasizing that token holders have the right to know how the project treats its trusters.Sun Yuchen stated that as one of the earliest and largest investors in World Liberty, he invested $45 million to obtain $WLFI tokens. The lawsuit alleges that after this investment helped raise approximately $550 million in token sales, the project secretly embedded a backdoor in the smart contract that could unilaterally freeze, restrict, or destroy token holders' tokens, and based on this, illegally seized his tokens, even threatening him with criminal reports during his rights protection efforts. The lawsuit claims damages amounting to hundreds of millions of dollars. He has previously obtained a court injunction prohibiting the other party from destroying or disposing of his tokens.Sun Yuchen also stated that World Liberty similarly embedded backdoor capabilities in its USD1 stablecoin and mentioned that the project had pledged a large amount of $WLFI tokens as collateral in Dolomite lending, as well as public information regarding co-founder past lawsuits related to Dough Finance, expressing concerns about the project's solvency and transparency, urging investors to conduct their own due diligence and remain cautious. The above content is all his unilateral statements and accusations.
