Why it matters: The project aims to raise $300 million from its first sale, according to a report from The Block last week. Citing a roadmap shared with prospective investors, the report said 20% of the token supply will be sold at a fully diluted valuation of $1.5 billion.
The token, called WLFI, will serve as the platform’s governance token, allowing users to vote on future developments. However, tokens are non-transferable and non-revenueable, unlike most crypto assets that can be traded and generate passive income.
Price Action: The broader crypto market reacted positively to the news. Bitcoin (CRYPTO: BTC) is up 0.34% over the past 24 hours, Ethereum (CRYPTO: ETH) is up 0.86%, and Dogecoin (CRYPTO: DOGE) is up 1.15%, according to data from Benzinga Pro.
