So, the WLFI situation has become even more interesting. In recent days, the Trump family’s crypto project released a token unlocking proposal that honestly left me with some questions.

For those who have been following from the start: WLFI held two public pre-sale rounds. The first in October 2024 at $0.015 per token (20 billion units), which took a while but eventually sold out in January 2025, raising $3 billion. Then came 5 billion tokens at $0.05 in March 2025, totaling another $2.5 billion. Additionally, 8.893 billion were sold to institutional investors at $0.10. At launch in September 2025, the price surged to over $0.45 on some platforms, but then started to decline. Today, it’s around $0.08.

Here’s the interesting part: when WLFI was launched, only 20% of the tokens were released to pre-sale participants. The rest? Well, that’s where this new unlocking proposal just came out.

According to what was disclosed, pre-sale users (about 17 billion tokens) will go through a two-year lock-up period, followed by an additional two years of linear release. That is, four years total for full unlocking. For founders, team, and partners, it’s even longer: 10% burned permanently, and the remaining 90% with two years of lock-up plus three years of linear release — five years in total.

Now, let me think out loud here. You join a project because it has the Trump name attached, and now you have to wait four years to receive your tokens? In that time, the presidential term will already be over, and frankly, no one knows what this whole situation will look like.

The most controversial detail: if you do not explicitly agree with this unlocking plan, your tokens are locked indefinitely. It’s basically a “agree or lose everything” situation.

Looking at the comments on the official forum, it’s pretty obvious there was heavy control. Countless comments with identical formatting, starting with “YES,” clearly bots. When you manage to find a genuine comment, it’s something like “this is absurd, I will sue these people.”

Regarding the real motivations? My guess is that the 10% token burn is more of a sacrifice spectacle than anything genuine. After all, those 10% would only be released in five years anyway. The real goal seems to be to keep everything locked up as long as possible while the distribution structure continues to benefit those in control.

But that’s just my speculation. What’s certain: the expected token unlocking has turned into a four- to five-year marathon. And the market has already reflected this — the price is at $0.08, well below the initial peaks. Those who entered the second round at $0.05 are still in the red, unless they sold when the price was high back in September.
