World Liberty Financial Offers ‘Guaranteed Direct Access’ For $5M Token Lockup

Resumen

World Liberty Financial (WLFI), a DeFi venture linked to the Trump family, has introduced a new "Super Node" program requiring investors to lock $5 million worth of tokens for six months. In return, participants receive "guaranteed direct access" to certain WLFI team members and gain voting rights in governance matters. Although Eric Trump, Donald Trump Jr., and Barron Trump are listed as part of the supporting team, they will not be included in the direct access offering. The proposal passed with 99% approval from 1,786 votes. Super Nodes must stake 50 million WLFI tokens and will earn a 2% yield in tokens for participating in at least two votes. This move shifts from earlier promises of democratized access by restricting voting rights to large stakeholders. Separately, Trump will host another exclusive dinner for TRUMP memecoin holders. WLFI’s token price rose nearly 6% to $0.1079 amid a broader crypto market recovery.

The Trump family’s decentralized finance (DeFi) venture, World Liberty Financial (WLFI), unveiled on Friday a new investment opportunity for participants and supporters of the platform.

As earlier reported by Reuters, investors who commit to locking $5 million worth of their tokens for six months will gain “guaranteed direct access” to certain members of the WLFI team in exchange for voting rights.

World Liberty Financial Introduces ‘Super Nodes’

This new initiative includes family members of President Trump among the “Supporting Team” listed in World Liberty’s documentation. Eric Trump, Donald Trump Jr., and Barron Trump are all mentioned, though the company has clarified that they will not be part of the direct access arrangement.

Voting on this proposal closed on Thursday, with the company claiming that 99% of the 1,786 votes cast were in favor of the new arrangement.

The introduction of a tiered structure for token holders, referred to as “Super Nodes,” represents a shift from the company’s earlier commitment to democratizing access to financial resources.

David Wachsman, the company’s spokesman, clarified that while Super Nodes will have access to the WLFI team, it does not guarantee a partnership. Instead, it suggests that significant participation in governance will be encouraged.

According to World Liberty’s website, this initiative aims to incentivize token holders to engage more actively in the governance of the crypto firm, which generated over $460 million for the Trump family in the first half of 2025.

Exclusive Dinner For TRUMP Memecoin Holders

To become a Super Node, investors must stake 50 million WLFI tokens. By staking their tokens for six months, holders will not only gain voting rights on governance matters but also earn a yield of 2% in WLFI tokens for participating in at least two votes.

Previously, all WLFI token holders enjoyed the ability to vote on alterations to the company’s underlying code, with each token representing one vote. They could also express their opinions on the venture’s strategic directions, as outlined in World Liberty’s Gold Paper.

However, with the passage of this new proposal, voting rights will now be restricted to those who have staked their tokens for the designated period, further limiting access to crucial governance processes.

In a related development, Bitcoinist reported that President Trump is preparing to host the second exclusive dinner for holders of his official memecoin, TRUMP, scheduled for April 25 at Mar-a-Lago.

Ethereum And Solana Are Topping Developer Activity Again, But Why Are Their Prices Struggling?

Despite leading in crypto developer activity, Ethereum and Solana are experiencing significant price struggles. Data from Artemis shows Ethereum’s ecosystem, particularly its EVM, leads with 31,620 weekly commits, followed by Solana’s SVM with 7,056. However, both networks have seen sharp declines: Ethereum’s weekly commits dropped 54% and developer activity fell 34% over three months, while Solana saw declines of 43% and 40%, respectively. The broader crypto ecosystem has also suffered, with weekly commits plummeting from 870,900 in March last year to 217,500 in February. Analysts attribute the price weakness to an ongoing bear market. CryptoQuant’s Julio Moreno suggests Ethereum could fall to $1,500 by late 2024 if the downturn continues, citing an “adoption paradox” where network activity rises while prices fall. Market experts predict further declines, with Bitcoin potentially bottoming between September and October.

XRP’s DeFi Moment? On-Chain Numbers From Flare Tell A Different Story

The on-chain data from the Flare Network suggests growing DeFi activity within the XRP ecosystem. Over 132 million FXRP are in supply, with nearly 80% locked in DeFi protocols on Flare. The ecosystem has secured over $149 million in value and processed more than 2.8 million transactions, with user growth accelerating. This indicates that XRP holders are increasingly using their assets for lending, liquidity provision, swaps, and yield generation—moving beyond simple transfers. Additionally, Ripple’s recent $50 million share buyback signals strong institutional confidence, which could lead to further development and integration of XRP-based infrastructure in global payment systems.

Tax Policy, Not Technology, Is Blocking Bitcoin Payments, Advocates Say

Advocates argue that U.S. tax policy, not technological limitations, is the primary barrier to Bitcoin's use for everyday payments. Under current law, every Bitcoin transaction—no matter how small—is a taxable event requiring capital gains reporting. The Bitcoin Policy Institute is urging Congress to pass a de minimis exemption for small transactions (under a set amount) by August 2026, before midterm elections complicate legislative efforts. Senator Cynthia Lummis introduced a bill for a $300 per-transaction exemption, but it has stalled. With competing bills and a shrinking legislative timeline, the future of such an exemption is uncertain, despite bipartisan support.

Analyst Says Bitcoin Bulls Have Won And This Is The Next Target

Bitcoin bulls have regained control after a period of decline, with the price stabilizing around $70,000. A key development is the appearance of three consecutive green daily candles, which analyst Master Ananda interprets as confirmation of a new rally. This suggests the end of months of sideways movement and accumulation. The analyst expects Bitcoin to set a higher high this week, confirming the uptrend. The initial price target is $80,000, with some expected resistance, followed by a rise toward $100,000. Altcoins are also reacting positively and are likely to continue following Bitcoin's upward momentum.

BIP-360 Explained: Bitcoin Takes Its First Step Towards Quantum Resistance, But Why Is It Only the 'First Step'?

BIP-360 introduces a quantum-resistant upgrade to Bitcoin by proposing Pay-to-Merkle-Root (P2MR) scripts, which remove the key-path spending option in Taproot to minimize elliptic curve key exposure—a primary vulnerability in a future quantum computing scenario. This marks Bitcoin’s first formal step toward quantum defense, though it is a cautious and incremental update rather than a full cryptographic overhaul. P2MR retains support for complex scripts like multisig and timelocks via Taproot’s Merkle tree structure, ensuring smart contract flexibility. However, it does not upgrade existing UTXOs or replace ECDSA/Schnorr signatures with post-quantum alternatives. Wallets and services may gradually adopt P2MR addresses, but broader ecosystem coordination and user migration will be required over time. The proposal reflects Bitcoin’s proactive approach to long-term security amid advancing quantum computing research.
