Of these, 10 billion were earmarked for the ecosystem team, 7.7 billion for Alt5 Sigma\u2019s treasury operations, 2.8 billion for liquidity and marketing, and 4 billion for early investors.<\/p>\n<p>The heavy allocation raised fears of immediate sell-offs by insiders, including Trump family members.<\/p>\n<p>But while traders worry that any early moves by large holders could trigger cascading liquidations in futures markets, only 20% of the total supply is tradable at launch, while the remaining 80% remains locked under undisclosed schedules.<\/p>\n<h2>Trump family ties shape narrative<\/h2>\n<p>Once dismissed as a derivative of Aave, World Liberty Financial (WLFI) has evolved into what its backers call a DeFi \u201csuper app.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Trump family\u2019s involvement has been central to this evolution.<\/p>\n<p>Donald Trump Jr. described the token as \u201cnot just a meme coin\u201d but the governance backbone of a financial ecosystem aimed at reshaping how money moves.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Big day \u2013 <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/worldlibertyfi?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@WorldLibertyFi<\/a> just launched the <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/search?q=%24WLFI&amp;src=ctag&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">$WLFI<\/a> token.
