World Liberty Financial Approves $5 Million ‘Super Nodes,’ Tying Voting to 180-Day Token Lock

Company-reported 99% approval sharpens scrutiny of pay-for-access claims tied to Trump family payouts.

Overview

  • Under the new rules, only holders who stake 50 million WLFI tokens—about $5 million—for 180 days gain voting rights and entry to the Super Node tier.
  • Access for Super Nodes is described as contact with WLFI’s business development and compliance teams, and the spokesman says it does not guarantee partnerships.
  • The company cites 1,786 ballots with 99% support for the measure, a tally Reuters could not independently verify, with a 2% WLFI yield for participating in at least two votes.
  • After media questions, WLFI removed its “Meet our team” page that had listed Eric, Donald Jr., and Barron Trump, while saying family members are not part of the access program.
  • Seventy-five percent of new token-sale proceeds go to the Trump family, Reuters previously tallied more than $460 million to them in H1 2025, and critics note WLFI is seeking a U.S. banking license as the White House counsel defends the president’s ethics.
