Binance Lists Trump-Linked WLFI Token, Opening First Spot Market
Binance has become the first cryptocurrency exchange to list World Liberty Financial (WLFI), a decentralized finance project linked to the Trump family.
The exchange announced that trading for WLFI will begin on Monday afternoon (UTC), with spot trading pairs available against USDT and USDC. Deposits are already open, while withdrawals will start on Tuesday. Binance has labeled the token with its “seed tag”, a warning reserved for high-risk but innovative digital assets.
Until now, WLFI tokens were non-transferable, a rule designed to prevent presale buyers from freely trading them. The Binance listing officially opens the first spot market for WLFI, making it fully tradable on a centralized exchange. Shortly after Binance’s move, South Korean exchange Upbit also confirmed it would list the token.
To trade WLFI on Binance, users must complete risk quizzes acknowledging the token’s volatility. The project will launch simultaneously on Ethereum, Binance Smart Chain, and Solana.
WLFI futures had already gone live last week on the decentralized exchange Hyperliquid, where traders quickly moved to short the token. This caused its implied valuation to fall from $44 billion to $24 billion within hours.
The listing on Binance marks a major step for WLFI, shifting it from a restricted presale asset to a globally tradable token.
The token’s launch comes as Eric Trump and Binance founder Changpeng “CZ” Zhao recently appeared at BTC Asia in Hong Kong, where both figures addressed the future of digital assets.
