Trump-Backed WLFI Vote Ties Governance Power to 180-Day Token Lock Until March 13, 2026

World Liberty Financial, a crypto project backed by Donald Trump and his family, is holding a governance vote from March 6 to March 13, 2026 on a proposal that links voting rights to staking WLFI tokens for 180 days. The plan introduces a lock-based voting formula, node tiers requiring stakes of 10 million and 50 million WLFI, and a 2% estimated annual yield, while critics highlight that early investors are forced to lock their only unlocked tokens and that team-linked wallets already control around 59% of voting power. The project has raised between $550 million and $590 million across two token sales, its USD1 stablecoin has roughly $4.7 billion in circulation, and Trump-related entities are entitled to 75% of net revenue.
