World Liberty Financial’s native token, WLFI, officially entered the crypto market, trading above $0.30 shortly after launch. With a total supply of 100 billion tokens, this debut gives WLFI a fully diluted valuation (FDV) of more than $30 billion, according to PRIME.
Binance became the first top-tier centralized exchange to list WLFI, opening WLFI/USDT and WLFI/USDC pairs on Sept. 1 at 1 p.m. UTC. Soon after, Coinbase, Upbit, and Gate also revealed plans to support trading, signaling strong market interest.
On-chain data highlighted heavy selling pressure from presale wallets. Just after launch, three early investors sent 160 million WLFI (worth $51.2 million) to Binance, raising concerns about short-term volatility.
24.67% of WLFI Supply in Circulation
At launch, around 24.67 billion WLFI entered circulation — 24.67% of the total supply. This initial float includes:
-
10 billion tokens allocated to World Liberty Financial, Inc.
-
7 billion WLFI for Alt5 Sigma Corporation (nearly 8% of total supply).
-
2.8 billion WLFI for liquidity and marketing.
Early Investors Unlock Tokens
The launch also featured a day-one unlock, with 20% of presale tokens becoming available through the Lockbox process. That equals roughly 4 billion WLFI, marking the initial allocation for public investors.
The non-circulating portion at launch includes:
-
19.96 billion WLFI for Treasury,
-
33.51 billion for the Team,
-
16 billion WLFI locked from the public sale,
-
5.8 billion tokens for strategic partners.
Derivatives Activity Skyrockets
Leading up to its spot debut, WLFI saw derivatives volume soar 400% in perpetual contracts. If prices remain stable, WLFI’s FDV of $32–$33 billion would rival major altcoins such as Sui, Dogecoin, and Tron, delivering up to 20x returns for early buyers.
A Trump-Backed DeFi Vision
Launched in 2024, World Liberty Financial aims to bridge traditional finance with blockchain-powered products. Publicly supported by Donald Trump, Donald Trump Jr., and Eric Trump, the project runs mainly on Ethereum, leveraging Aave V3 for lending and borrowing with audited reserves and custodial safeguards.
WLFI acts as the project’s governance token, granting holders voting rights on protocol upgrades, incentive programs, and ecosystem growth. Initially non-transferable, WLFI was approved for trading in July 2025.
Expansion of USD1 Stablecoin
In parallel, World Liberty expanded its USD1 stablecoin to Solana, adding to its existing presence on Ethereum, BNB Chain, and Tron. USD1 is fully reserved and dollar-redeemable, holding a $2.6 billion market cap and ranking as the sixth-largest stablecoin.
Blockchain intelligence firm Arkham also revealed that World Liberty Financial purchased 6.5 million WLFI using 2 million USD1, at an average price of $0.3078 within one hour of trading.
