The WLFI token acts as the protocol’s governance asset, granting holders voting power over strategic platform decisions. Currently, the tokens remain locked behind a smart contract, making it impossible to move between wallets. This limitation has led to criticism regarding the project’s liquidity and transparency.

Despite the blockade, platforms such as lbank are already trading WLFI in a pre-market environment. At the moment, the token is quoted close to US$ 1, with a daily trading volume of around US$ 5 million, according to data from the brokerage.

The decision to make WLFI transferable comes amid improvements to the World Liberty Financial ecosystem. During a recent event, co-founder Zak Folkman revealed that the project is developing a mobile app to make it easier for new users to access tools in the decentralized finance sector.

Folkman also noted that several public companies are evaluating the possibility of adding WLFI to their crypto portfolios. “There has been a lot of interest from several public vehicles that want to use WLFI to be held in their vaults as well,” the executive said.

In parallel, the project is conducting an independent audit of its USD1 stablecoin, which already has an estimated circulating supply of $2,2 billion. The stablecoin was recently distributed via an airdrop to WLFI holders as a test of on-chain distribution mechanisms. Folkman stated that USD1 has the potential to surpass Tether in market cap.
