WLFI holders have all been asking the same question lately: When will those 80% locked tokens finally be unlocked?

It’s been over a year since the tokens were locked, and the community is already up in arms. People are chasing the team every day for a timeline, wanting a clear answer.

The project team’s stance is pretty clear—there’s no fixed unlock date. How the remaining 80% gets released will be entirely up to community governance voting. The voting system is still being built (should be ready soon), but the official line has always been “token holders have the final say.”

What’s even more noteworthy is that WLFI co-founder Zach Witkoff revealed at a Middle East summit in early December that their RWA (Real World Asset) tokenization product will officially launch in January 2026.

This time, they’re targeting tokenization of commodities—oil, natural gas, cotton, lumber, and even real estate can all be traded on-chain. The USD1 stablecoin will serve as the transaction infrastructure, acting as the “cash channel” for on-chain liquidity.

How hot is the RWA sector right now? The current market cap is $26 billion, and some institutions predict it could reach $16 trillion by 2030. The biggest value here is connecting traditional finance (TradFi) with decentralized finance (DeFi), attracting institutional capital.

WLFI also plans to launch a debit card and payment ecosystem in Q1.

Token unlock voting + RWA product launch—these two catalysts together could have a huge impact. If gradual unlocking can keep the price stable, and the RWA product delivers results, looking at the performance of tokenized funds like BlackRock’s, a 10x potential isn’t out of reach.

My personal take: Q1 2026 could see a major price surge, and the unlocking method will most likely be a linear, phased release over 12 months!
