The Trump family’s World Liberty Financial crypto project was launched with great fanfare in October last year, directly linked to a WLFI token presale. The cryptocurrency will be officially launched on exchanges on September 1.
Launch of World Liberty Financial’s WLFI token
Donald Trump’s foray into the cryptocurrency sector has led to major regulatory advances in the United States, but also to a proliferation of personal and/or family projects in the field, which are highly beneficial to the incumbent president.
The World Liberty Financial project occupies a prominent place in this nebulous landscape, with a current valuation estimated at $550 million. This sum was raised through the pre-sale of its WLFI token, which got off to a rather sluggish start.
A few months later, the time finally seems to have come to list these tokens on the market, in conjunction with a Token Generation Event (TGE) scheduled for September 1. This is an opportunity for the specialists at X Tokenomist to take stock of this closely watched event.
As part of this TGE, a tiny portion of approximately 4% of the available WLFI tokens—set at 100 billion units—will actually be unlocked. The remaining 96% are still in a sort of gray area identified as “To Be Determined” (TBD).
In concrete terms, holders of WLFI tokens purchased during the pre-sales will be able to claim 20% of their allocations (3.69 billion units in total) during the TGE organized on September 1. As for the remaining 80%, it will have to wait for a future community decision.
This is not a lack of planning. WLFI has indicated a focus on governance since its inception, with most decisions regarding distribution schedules to be made after launch via a community vote.

Fully diluted value (FDV) estimated at $30 billion
Even before its official launch, the WLFI token was already listed on several pre-markets available on leading platforms, such as Hyperliquid. At the time of writing, the WLFI price on its hyperp market was around $0.28, after peaking at over $0.40 on August 27.
Based on this price forecast, the fully diluted value (FDV) of the World Liberty Financial project could approach $30 billion when it launches on cryptocurrency exchange platforms.
This amount would allow it to compete with heavyweights in the ecosystem, such as Chainlink ($23 billion) or Tron and Dogecoin ($32 billion), but also to deliver a return of over 18,500% for its first buyers, at a price of $0.015.
The WLFI tokens will be launched on the decentralized Uniswap platform at 2 p.m. WLFI token holders must first activate their Lockboxes—open since August 25—so that their wallets can be credited at the time of the unlock operation.
