Furthermore, the project has initiated KYC (Know Your Customer) verification to purchase the WLF governance token, which will not be tradable. The World Liberty Financial team has stated that WLF will be regulated by the SEC – the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.
The Trump Token Launch
The whitelist is open for accredited investors in the United States and for those who are not American, although there are restrictions for small investors.
The World Liberty Financial team has stated that the project does not want to turn its back on investors and aims to bring financial freedom and decentralization.
“We are not turning our backs on everyday Americans. Our mission is to bring financial freedom to everyone, regardless of their background or bank balance.”
However, the project reflects the regulatory difficulties in the United States, which limit participation in certain DeFi initiatives to accredited investors only, making it challenging for many to enter the sector.
The World Liberty Financial team acknowledges the limitations, stating: “Due to outdated policies and regulations in the United States, one whitelist is limited to accredited U.S. investors and another to all non-U.S. persons. We are fighting for changes so that all Americans can access World Liberty Financial and join the financial revolution.”
The project thus seems to want to challenge the regulatory frameworks that prevent Americans from fully participating in the DeFi segment, using the rhetoric of financial inclusion.
Conclusion
In summary, Donald Trump’s World Liberty Financial project aims to revolutionize the DeFi sector by promoting financial freedom and inclusion for all Americans.
Despite the current regulatory challenges, the WLFI team is committed to ensuring broader access to cryptocurrency, seeking to position America as the global capital of decentralized finance.
With the opening of the whitelist, Trump offers a unique opportunity to enter an era of financial innovation.
