MiCA Crypto Alliance Releases MiCA White Paper for WLFI, a Governance-Focused Crypto-Asset

The MiCA Crypto Alliance is pleased to announce the release of the WLFI MiCA White Paper, prepared with the assistance of the Alliance in accordance with Regulation (EU) 2023/1114.

The white paper has been drawn up to support the planned admission to trading of WLFI, a governance-focused crypto-asset associated with the World Liberty Financial protocol. It follows the MiCA Title II structure and includes the required Article 6 statements, alongside detailed disclosures on governance design, risks, the underlying technology, and sustainability indicators.

The publication demonstrates how governance-oriented crypto-assets can be documented under the EU’s Markets in Crypto-Assets Regulation using standardised, MiCA-compliant disclosures.

Key Highlights from the White Paper

• WLFI is a governance-focused crypto-asset designed to enable decentralised decision-making within the World Liberty Financial protocol.
• The asset is classified as an “other crypto-asset” under MiCA Title II, as it is neither an asset-referenced token nor an e-money token, and it is not classified as a utility token under Regulation (EU) 2023/1114.
• WLFI’s sole function is governance. It provides voting rights on protocol parameters and proposals and does not confer access to goods or services.
• The token does not grant holders any ownership, profit, dividend, redemption, or economic claims against the issuer or any affiliated entity.
• WLFI is issued as an ERC-20 token on Ethereum, with cross-chain accessibility via interoperability mechanisms, as described in the white paper.
• The white paper has been prepared by YouHodler Italy SRL, with the assistance of the MiCA Crypto Alliance, in connection with the planned admission to trading of WLFI.

About World Liberty Financial and WLFI

World Liberty Financial is a decentralised protocol focused on enabling community-led governance over financial and protocol-level parameters. Governance is exercised exclusively through WLFI, which is designed to facilitate structured voting while incorporating safeguards against concentration of voting power and governance manipulation.

WLFI functions solely within this governance framework. It does not represent an investment instrument and does not create contractual rights, profit entitlements, or claims on assets or revenues. Its role and limitations are defined entirely by the protocol’s governance rules, as set out in the MiCA white paper.
