The DeFi ecosystem is facing a new controversy after TRON founder Justin Sun criticized a governance proposal from World Liberty Financial (WLFI), a crypto project backed by the Trump family. Sun, who described himself as one of the largest investors with $75M, called the plan to unlock 62.3 billion WLFI tokens “tyranny,” alleging the team is manipulating the vote to punish dissenters and block major holders such as himself.
Sun said the proposal is being presented as a “governance alignment signal” and a “long-term commitment,” but he argued that the underlying mechanism amounts to a governance scam. He specifically objected to the plan to unlock 62.3 billion WLFI tokens, characterizing it as coercive.
In his remarks, Sun also claimed the proposal would force token holders to accept “draconian conditions” under the threat that their assets could be blocked indefinitely if they vote against the measure or choose not to participate.

At the same time, the WLFI token has continued to fall, trading near its all-time lows. The controversy comes at a crucial moment for the broader crypto governance market, with the outcome of the vote expected to influence the project’s near-term direction.
Sun indicated that potential legal actions could follow the vote. He said the results of the governance process and any subsequent legal steps will help determine the immediate future of the project on the network.
