Trump-Backed World Liberty Financial's Early Investors Won’t Be Able to Fully Cash Out Until After Trump’s Term
World Liberty Financial, the crypto venture co‑founded by former President Trump and his sons, has proposed a governance change that locks 80% of early investors' 17 billion tokens until 2030, adding a two‑year vesting period and a 10% token burn for founders. The firm also disclosed a $75 million loan against its tokens, of which $25 million has been repaid, while the Trump family has already earned over $1 billion from token sales. Investors criticize the move as a cash‑grab that limits liquidity and concentrates voting power among large holders. The proposal will be voted on within a week.
