When exactly will that 80% of WLFI locked tokens be released?

This issue has caused a huge uproar in the community. The tokens have been locked for over a year, and everyone keeps asking for the unlock schedule. The project team says there’s “no fixed date”—the release of the remaining 80% is to be fully decided by community governance votes. The voting system isn’t fully set up yet, but they promise that “token holders will have the final say.”

There’s even more explosive news: WLFI co-founder Zach Witkoff revealed at a major Dubai event hosted by a leading exchange in early December that they plan to launch an RWA tokenization product in January 2026.

They’re targeting real-world assets on-chain—oil, natural gas, cotton, timber, and even real estate can all be tokenized. The USD1 stablecoin will act as the “cash leg,” specifically to boost on-chain liquidity. The RWA sector currently has a market cap of $26 billion, with some institutions predicting it could reach $16 trillion by 2030. If they can tap into traditional finance’s capital pool, the possibilities are huge.

In Q1, they also plan to launch a debit card and payment system.

The unlock voting coinciding with the launch of the RWA product creates a double catalyst. If tokens are released gradually in batches, the price could remain stable; if the RWA succeeds, looking at some institutional tokenized fund cases, a 10x potential isn’t out of the question.

Personally, I expect big price swings in Q1 2026, with the unlock likely happening as a 12-month linear release.
