WLFI Token Debuts with $30B Valuation, Faces Early Sell Pressure, Other Data You Missed

Trump-backed World Liberty Financial (WLFI) made its grand entrance today, launching on major centralized and decentralized exchanges.

The token went live with a starting price of $1, opening for trade at $0.3, which instantly valued the project at a fully diluted $30 billion.

The excitement didn’t stop there. WLFI briefly spiked to $0.33 before pulling back. At the time of writing, WLFI trades at $0.23 with a market cap of $5.88 billion, ranking as the 26th-largest crypto asset, according to CoinMarketCap.

Big Transfers Ahead of Launch

On-chain data shows significant pre-launch movements.

Blockchain analyst @ai_9684xtpa reports that 485 million WLFI tokens, 0.485% of total supply, moved to two addresses tied to Jump Crypto for market-making purposes.

That’s 16.2% of the circulating 3 billion tokens across CEX and DEX liquidity pools.

Jump Crypto has been scaling up its market-making activities ever since Trump’s return to the White House.

Updated Tokenomics Breakdown

The World Liberty Financial team posted its official WLFI tokenomics via Medium. Here’s the allocation:

  •  Team and Advisors: 33.5%
  •  Public Sale: 20% (TBD: 16%)
  •  Treasury: 20%
  •  Community: 10%
  •  ALT5: 7.8%
  •  Strategic Partners: 5.9%
  •  Liquidity: 2.9%

At TGE (Token Generation Event), 25% of the total supply unlocked immediately.

But not everyone was happy. One X user criticized the team:

“The WLFI team should have made a vesting contract for both ecosystem tokens and its treasury company Alt5 Sigma. Now CoinMarketCap shows 24B tokens in circulation instead of 5B. The extra 19B isn’t actually circulating, but without a smart contract lock, CMC counts them as unlocked.”

The WLFI team confirmed this data discrepancy, insisting real circulation remains at 5B tokens.

Tron Founder Bullish on WLFI

Tron founder Justin Sun openly endorsed the project, calling it one of the most important developments in crypto:

“I truly believe this will be one of the biggest and most important projects in crypto,” Sun said. “We have no plans to sell our unlocked tokens anytime soon. The long-term vision here is too powerful.”

Sun also celebrated the launch by pledging to boost USD1 circulation on TRON to $200 million.

WLFI Presale Selling Hits Exchanges

Despite the hype, sell pressure emerged quickly.

On-chain tracker lookonchain flagged several large presale wallets moving WLFI to exchanges within hours of launch:

0xC3e7 claimed 60M WLFI ($19.2M) → Deposited to Binance

0x7ed4 claimed 53.33M WLFI ($17.1M) → Deposited to Binance

0x3881 claimed 46.67M WLFI ($14.9M) → Deposited to Binance

These moves hint at early holders taking profits after the token’s debut.

For now, WLFI sits at $0.23 with a $5.88B market cap, per CoinMarketCap.

Analyst Quinten Francois suggests volatility will remain high:

“Early selling is normal for big launches,” he noted. “If WLFI holds above $0.2 in the first week, the bullish structure stays intact.”

Final Thoughts

The WLFI launch brings Trump-backed crypto to center stage with massive liquidity, top-tier exchange listings, and major market-maker involvement.

But early profit-taking, a tokenomics debate, and circulating supply confusion raise short-term risks.

For long-term holders like Justin Sun, though, WLFI represents more than a token. It’s part of a bigger financial vision.

Whether WLFI stabilizes above launch levels or faces deeper corrections will depend on how quickly the market absorbs early selling pressure, and if the team delivers on its promises.
