๐จTRUMP-BACKED WLFI MOVES TO UNLOCK 62B TOKENS
After a $75M loan controversy, World Liberty Financial plans to burn 4.5B tokens and begin vesting 40.7B $WLFI tokens for founders and the team.
The tokens were previously locked indefinitely.
3 continents, 4 global office visits, 5 days. Crossed too many time zones to count...
Recently, @MonicaLongSF and I (along with others on the Ripple leadership team) traveled to Dublin, London, Singapore and Sydney to meet with the Ripple Team (many of whom joined from our acquisitions of GTreasury, Hidden Road, Rail, Palisade and Solvexia).
A few notes from the road -
1/ centers of gravity (business and/or employee) are never stagnant, and getting out of the US coastal mindset is imperative. It was incredibly energizing to hear from new and longtime Ripplers on what moves the needle where they are.
2/ Culture cannot be taken for granted. More than ever, weโre championing a maniacal focus and eliminating bureaucracy for employees to be owners. Donโt confuse activity with progress.
3/ Adoption doesnโt happen overnight. Platforms > point solutions. Meet customers where they are, not where they might be in a couple years.
4/ AI is becoming a fundamental part of our products โ especially in cash forecasting and liquidity management in real-time for the office of the CFO. Employee productivity may be where AI starts, but the end goal is much bigger.
5/ 2026 is shaping up to be another defining year. Weโre in the right markets with the right capabilities across payments, custody, liquidity and treasury management. There's a huge opportunity ahead, and we are making sure XRP is at the center of it.
