Token Unlocking and Governance: WLFI will unlock 20% of its tokens on September 1, 2025, with the remaining 80% subject to future community governance votes, raising questions about true decentralization given centralized ownership.
Trump Family Influence: The Trump family controls 60% of WLFI and is entitled to 75% of revenue from token sales, leading to concerns over potential conflicts of interest in a project marketed as decentralized.
Foreign Investment Concerns: A $2 billion investment from an Abu Dhabi company raises regulatory and ethical issues regarding foreign influence in a politically sensitive financial platform, potentially attracting scrutiny from U.S. regulators.
Market Impact and Trading Rollout: WLFI tokens will be tradable on various exchanges after a preparatory period, but the delayed release of 80% of tokens may introduce market volatility, compounded by the Trump family's majority control over governance decisions.
