美国前总统特朗普(Donald Trump)家族旗下的去中心化金融(DeFi)项目World Liberty Financial（WLFI）于10月16日正式启动代币WLFI的公开销售。然而，销售结果并不如预期，最终仅售出了约4%的代币，总筹资额为1245万美元，远远低于其3亿美元的募资目标，项目初期表现不佳。
WLFI代币以0.015美元的价格发行，接受以太坊(ETH)、USDT、USDC和WETH等主流加密货币进行购买。尽管市场曾对该项目抱有很大期待，但销售开始时却遭遇了技术困难。据CoinDesk报道，销售刚开启时，由于流量过大，导致项目官网在发布的第一个小时内多次崩溃。不过，仍有约2900名投资者在首小时内参与购买。
根据链上数据显示，在公售初期，约3.44亿枚WLFI代币被分配给约3000个独立钱包。然而，WLFI代币目前的总销售量仅为8.3亿枚，占计划发售的200亿枚的4%，这显著低于预期的3亿美元目标。

WLFI顾问、Scroll区块链网络联合创始人Sandy Peng解释了官网崩溃的原因，他表示团队未预料到会有如此大量的访问量，导致网站流量激增并出现技术问题。据其介绍，WLFI官网在发售的第一个小时内，访问量高达7200万次，虽然网站随后恢复，但还是未能及时解决所有问题。
WLFI代币将用于World Liberty Financial平台的治理，允许用户参与协议的升级、技术改进、合作伙伴关系的推进等事项投票。此外，代币持有者需要遵守12个月的锁仓期，这意味着WLFI暂时不可转让，这一条款或许是导致部分投资者观望的重要因素。
WLFI的销售仅向非美国公民和合格美国投资者开放。根据美国证券法规的要求，项目团队提前将超过10万名合格的美国投资者列入了白名单，严格遵守法律框架，以确保符合监管标准。
尽管项目初期表现不佳，但WLFI团队表示，将继续优化技术和运营，争取在未来实现其去中心化金融平台的长远目标。
