Binance Becomes First Exchange to List Trump-Linked WLFI Token

Binance will officially open trading for World Liberty Financial (WLFI), the Trump-family-linked DeFi project, starting Monday afternoon UTC, marking the token’s transition from a non-transferable presale to full market tradability.

Deposits for WLFI are already live, with withdrawals set to begin Tuesday. The exchange will assign the token a “seed tag” status, a designation reserved for innovative but high-risk assets.

Until now, WLFI tokens could not be transferred, a compliance-driven measure designed to restrict presale trading. Binance’s listing changes that, enabling transfers and providing the first centralized exchange market for the token.

Following Binance’s announcement, South Korea’s Upbit also confirmed plans to list WLFI. On Binance, users must complete quizzes acknowledging the token’s high volatility and risk before trading. The token will launch on three blockchains simultaneously: Ethereum, Binance Smart Chain, and Solana.

Earlier this week, WLFI futures debuted on Hyperliquid, a decentralized exchange, where traders heavily shorted the token. This activity drove its implied valuation down from $44 billion to $24 billion within hours.

The Binance listing represents WLFI’s first spot market, a key milestone in its evolution from a restricted presale token to a fully tradable asset.

Notably, Eric Trump and Binance CEO Changpeng “CZ” Zhao recently shared the stage at BTC Asia in Hong Kong, highlighting the token’s growing visibility.
