Trump-Backed World Liberty Financial Proposes Restructuring of 62.3 Billion Tokens

Key Facts

1VIP access to a Trump-linked memecoin event reached a price of $203,000.
2Lawmakers raised conflict of interest concerns as whales accumulated large positions ahead of the event.

The Trump-backed World Liberty Financial (WLFI) project has proposed a restructuring of 62.3 billion tokens, introducing a two-year lock-up period and a plan to burn 10% of insider allocations. This structural shift coincides with a broader crypto market rally where meme coins posted strong gains, highlighted by a Solana trader turning $8.50 into nearly $10,000 via the BELIEF token. Adding to the sector's momentum, Canary filed for a PEPE ETF, signaling a major move toward regulatory legitimacy for memecoins in mainstream finance. Under the revised WLFI framework, 40.7 billion tokens are designated for the team subject to new liquidity constraints to ensure governance. Analysts suggest these changes aim to capitalize on current market optimism despite the divergence in performance among politically-themed assets. The move represents a transition toward formalized tokenomics within an increasingly institutionalized digital asset environment.
