World Liberty Financial Faces Governance Outcry After 9 Wallets Control 59% of USD1 Vote

World Liberty Financial faced criticism after a USD1 growth proposal, created on December 28 and closed on January 4, passed with 77.75% support while nine large wallets controlled about 59% of the voting power. Community members objected that many WLFI holders with locked tokens could not vote, questioned dilution from using WLFI for USD1 incentives, and flagged large transfers such as 500 million WLFI sent to Jump Trading as early investors remained locked. The dispute has intensified even as the project pursues a U.S. national banking charter and launches World Liberty Markets to expand its USD1 and WLFI ecosystem.
