Summary from the TLDR Crypto newsletter

Six World Liberty Financial insider wallets entered a vesting contract in May, giving Trump's approximately 14 billion WLFI tokens (valued at roughly $800 million) their first defined path to liquidity. Entry imposed a mandatory 10% token burn, reducing the largest depositor's position from 15.75 billion to 14.175 billion tokens. The vesting structure sets a two-year cliff followed by a three-year release period, preventing any insider sales before May 2028. The contract now holds 46.1 billion WLFI tokens, nearly half the 96.7 billion total supply, while the revised Clarity Act requires senior government officials with significant crypto positions to divest or place assets in qualified blind trusts, conditions Trump reportedly accepted.
