Binance Launches Trump-Linked WLFI Token, First Spot Market Listing
Binance has become the first cryptocurrency exchange to list World Liberty Financial (WLFI), a DeFi token linked to the Trump family. The listing marks WLFI’s transition from a restricted presale token to fully tradable assets, with trading set to start Monday afternoon UTC. Deposits are live, and withdrawals will begin Tuesday.
WLFI carries Binance’s “seed tag,” highlighting it as an innovative but high-risk token. Previously, the token was non-transferable to comply with presale rules. Binance’s listing now enables full transferability and opens the token’s first centralized exchange market.
South Korea’s Upbit has also confirmed plans to list WLFI following Binance’s announcement. To trade WLFI on Binance, users must complete risk and volatility acknowledgment quizzes. The token will be available on Ethereum, Binance Smart Chain, and Solana from launch.
WLFI futures debuted last week on Hyperliquid’s decentralized exchange, where heavy shorting temporarily reduced its implied valuation from $44 billion to $24 billion. Binance’s spot listing represents the first opportunity for direct trading of the token.
Eric Trump and Binance CEO Changpeng “CZ” Zhao appeared at BTC Asia in Hong Kong this month, drawing further attention to the token’s official market debut.
