Trump-backed World Liberty Financial World Liberty Financial has opened up Know Your Customer (KYC) verification on its official website for its upcoming public token sale.

What's the Scoop?

  • KYC Purpose: According to the homepage, information about the project is only accessible to those completing the KYC process. In the U.S., only accredited investors will be eligible.
  • Token Details: It was confirmed that World Liberty Financial will issue a non-transferable governance token, WLFI. Token distribution includes 63% to the public, 17% for rewards, and 20% for team compensation.

Bankless Take:

While we’re inching closer to World Liberty Financial’s launch, we’re inching closer to the election too. With the majority of crypto seeing WLFI as a net negative to Trump’s chance to win and potentially impeding bipartisan progress for crypto if he doesn’t, the KYC launch does little except heighten anxieties. Regardless, with less-than-desirable tokenomics, it will be interesting to see how much funding WLFI accrues for its non-transferable token sale.
