As a seasoned analyst with over two decades of experience in the financial industry, I must say that the launch of Donald Trump’s cryptocurrency project, World Liberty Financial (WLF), left me feeling more like a spectator at a political rally than an informed investor. While I appreciate the drama and intrigue that comes with any venture associated with Mr. Trump, the lack of substantive information during the live X Space event was disappointing, to say the least.
One day following a second failed assassination attempt, Donald Trump unveiled his much-awaited digital currency venture, World Liberty Financial (WLF), during a live broadcast at X Space.
Nevertheless, the launch has faced criticism within the cryptocurrency community due to the scarcity of detailed information provided about the project.
Community Backlash
In a recent video posted on X, Trump revealed the launch date for World Liberty Financial, urging the public to join him for a Space on the day.
Afterward, Fox reporter Eleanor Terrett commented that numerous attendees were rather “disheartened” and that it failed to offer any meaningful details regarding the platform.
As an analyst, I can confirm that numerous users of X concurred with this sentiment, among them was one who stated, “I logged off following over an hour of listening to it, all I can say is that it’s a DeFi platform.” Another individual in the discussion mentioned a lack of comprehensive details about the platform, further noting that the team led by Trump abruptly left the conversation right before addressing tokenomics.
Wayne Vaughn, a crypto entrepreneur, expressed, “We’ve been over two hours into this Trump crypto discussion and they haven’t explained what the platform is about yet. The number of listeners has plummeted from 150,000 to 47,000. It’s such a missed chance!
In essence, the overall feeling expressed by the community was predominantly dissatisfaction. Some individuals characterized it as a drawn-out sales pitch, while others deemed it a misrepresentation or mockery of Bitcoin.
WLF Team Clarifies Token Allocation Concerns
In spite of facing criticism, the project’s team shared some insights during an interview with Rug Radio. As they explained, WLF intends to provide a platform for lending and borrowing cryptocurrencies on the Ethereum blockchain, much like existing decentralized finance (DeFi) platforms.
Besides asserting that it’s expected to be easier for users to navigate than existing choices, they mentioned that a unique governance token called WLFI would be employed, which will be subject to regulation during its sale by the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).
Zak Folkman, in his role as Operations Lead, and Chase Herro, Head of Data and Strategy, clarified that “no pre-sales or venture capital investments, early-stage purchases” have taken place. They underlined their commitment to ensuring a highly equitable distribution of the tokens.
According to previous claims, approximately 70% of WLFI is intended for distribution among key figures like founders, employees, and contracted professionals.
In simpler terms, Zak made it clear that around 62.66% of the total tokens are intended for a future token sale. The revenue generated from this sale will go towards strengthening the project’s financial reserves and rewarding the project’s founders and service providers.
17.33% of the allocated amount will be reserved for governance and community development projects. The remaining 20%, however, will be distributed among the project’s team, advisors, and partners, which includes the Trump Organization and the Witkoff Group, under the leadership of Steve Witkoff, a close associate.
