- WLFI proposed new vesting terms for 62.28 billion locked tokens.
- Justin Sun rejected the proposal and claimed frozen tokens and anonymous control undermine the vote’s legitimacy.
- The WLFI price recovered to $0.08171, cutting weekly losses.
After a tense clash between Justin Sun and World Liberty Financial last week, both parties are not showing any signs of backing up. This continued exchange of words through official posts made the WLFI price lose over 20% in a week. However, a post from Justin Sun has resumed the clash again as the WLFI price follows a recovery, reducing the weekly losses to 10%.
World Liberty Financial Proposes New Vesting Terms
Yesterday, WLFI outlined a proposal covering 62.28 billion locked WLFI tokens. The plan targets early supporters and insider groups. It also sets new vesting terms and an immediate burn for holdings. The proposal covers 17.04 billion locked tokens held by early supporters. Under the plan, those tokens would face a two-year cliff. WLFI would then unlock them linearly through year four. WLFI said this structure lets early supporters keep their full allocation. However, holders must accept the new vesting terms. Those who decline would remain “locked indefinitely” while retaining governance voting rights.

The second group holds 45.24 billion WLFI across founders, the team, advisors, and partners. If they opt in, WLFI would burn 4.52 billion tokens immediately. That amount equals 10% of their locked allocation. The remaining 40.71 billion WLFI would enter a two-year cliff and then vest linearly through year five. WLFI called these the “least favorable unlock terms” in the proposal. It said this group alone would face a burn.
WLFI linked the proposal to past governance turnout across six votes. It said participation ranged from 2.7 billion to 11.1 billion WLFI. Peak turnout, according to WLFI, represented about 23% of the locked supply covered here. The vote would stay open for seven days. Quorum stands at one billion WLFI, and passage requires a simple majority. Holders would get 10 days to accept after deployment, or their tokens would stay locked indefinitely.
Justin Sun Challenges WLFI Unlock Proposal
Just after World Financial Liberty made the proposal public via X, Justin Sun clapped back with a long rebuttal. He called the plan “one of the most absurd governance scams” he had seen. He argued that the vote punishes dissent because holders who reject the plan keep their tokens locked indefinitely. Sun also claimed WLFI excluded key holders from the process before voting began. He said his tokens, which represent about 4% of voting power, were frozen. He added that other large holders faced the same restriction.
He said that freeze power lets the team shape the voting pool in advance. Sun argued that such a process makes any result non-binding. He compared the vote to a staged performance where only approved participants can enter. Sun also targeted WLFI’s control structure. He claimed an anonymous 3-of-5 multisig controls the smart contract, while an anonymous guardian wallet can blacklist addresses. He said those parties can ignore the vote outcomes and act directly at the contract level.
He also attacked WLFI’s compliance terms for token holders. Sun said voters must complete identity checks, electronic acknowledgments, and qualification reviews. At the same time, he said the people controlling the blacklist and multisig powers remain unnamed. Sun framed the proposal as a property rights dispute, not a routine governance change. He said the vote covers token burns, unlock schedules, and ownership rights worth billions.
WLFI Price Holds Gains as Market Awaits Impact
Just recently, the clash sent the WLFI price to its lows. However, as of today, the WLFI price has reclaimed most of its weekly losses. According to CoinMarketCap data at the time of press, the WLFI price traded at $0.08171, posting a 1.68% gain over 24 hours. The session began with a decline, and the WLFI price slipped below $0.079 before reversing sharply upward.

A strong rally then lifted WLFI’s price above $0.083, marking the chart’s highest visible point. After that spike, the market pulled back fast and briefly returned near the $0.079 area. The chart showed recovery, with higher lows forming as trading moved within a tighter range. Later moves kept the WLFI price around $0.081, where gains held despite repeated intraday pullbacks.
The latest stretch showed the WLFI price grinding upward again, with small advances after each brief red move. Market capitalization stood at $2.59 billion, while 24-hour volume reached $150.6 million after rising 102.35%. The volume-to-market-cap ratio came in at 5.82%, showing heavier turnover. The fresh exchange of words will play a key role in shaping the next WLFI price action.
