We invested in WLFI during its very first presale round. So yes, our eyes are glued to this one—and our wallets are too. Naturally, we’re watching every move, every rumor, and every wallet transaction. But we’re not the only ones.
On X, speculation is running wild. Some believe WLFI could shoot up to $10. That’s quite a stretch, especially considering the most recent OTC deal was priced at just $0.10. Still, the hype is real. People want in, but they can’t. The token is tightly held, and everyone’s waiting for a way to jump aboard.
So, let’s catch up on everything that’s happened since we first covered WLFI back in September 2024. If this is the first time you’re hearing about World Liberty Financial, I suggest you read our introduction from last September.
A Quick Recap: The Early Days
Back in September, WLFI quietly launched with backing from members of the Trump family. The project caught attention for its bold claims—combining crypto, patriotism, and old-school American branding.
By October 2024, things were just warming up. A modest $2.7 million came in during the first fundraising efforts. It was slow, but interest picked up quickly.
Then came Justin Sun.
Justin Sun and the $75 Million Nod
In November and December 2024, Justin Sun (founder of TRON) dropped a combined $75 million into WLFI. First $30 million, then another $45 million. That investment put WLFI on the map.
People started taking the project seriously. With Justin’s name behind it, and rumors of a larger vision brewing, the token started gaining traction.
January 2025: The Real Sale Begins
On January 20, WLFI completed its official token sale. About 20% of the total supply was sold at a price of $0.015, raising around $300 million.
But that wasn’t the end.
Only two days later, the team launched another round, offering 5 billion more tokens at $0.05. That batch sold out in under 72 hours, raising an additional $250 million.
Big Bags, Big Players
WLFI didn’t waste time. They set up something called the “Macro Strategy” fund. Think of it as a giant digital treasury.
Instead of just sitting on stablecoins, they started scooping up assets:
- Ethereum (ETH)
- Staked ETH (stETH) via Lido
- Wrapped Bitcoin (WBTC)
- Chainlink (LINK)
- TRON (TRX)
- AAVE
They also added ETHENA recently, diversifying their reserve even more.
One curious thing? WLFI now holds around 10.8 million TRX—likely a nod to their close ties with Justin Sun.
USD1: A Stablecoin Power Play
March 25 marked the official launch of USD1, WLFI’s own stablecoin. It’s pegged 1:1 with the U.S. dollar, backed by cash and short-term treasury bills.
It’s available on both Ethereum and BNB Chain, with BitGo acting as the custodian. While it hasn’t overtaken giants like USDT or USDC, USD1 is gaining steam—especially in regions looking for dollar exposure without bank friction.
Institutional Attention: Abu Dhabi and DWF Labs
Big names are circling.
DWF Labs invested $25 million privately in WLFI tokens, locking in long-term interest from one of the largest market makers in crypto.
Meanwhile, Abu Dhabi’s MGX fund announced it would use $2 billion in USD1 to invest in Binance. This gave USD1 a serious circulation boost and raised WLFI’s credibility.
May Madness: Dubai, Airdrops, and More
WLFI showed up strong at TOKEN2049 Dubai. The team used the event to talk about their TRON integration, stablecoin adoption, and future ecosystem plans.
In the same month, they invested in the BUILDon token. They grabbed 636,000 tokens worth around $172,000—just before the price exploded by over 1300%.
They also launched a governance vote for a small USD1 airdrop. The result? A 99.97% approval rate. They distributed a total of $4 million USD1 in an airdrop to WLFI investors earlier this week.
June 3–5: The Wallet Controversy
Drama hit hard in early June.
A group called Fight Fight Fight LLC, alongside Magic Eden, launched a “Trump Wallet” tied to the $TRUMP memecoin. It was marketed like an official Trump family project.
But WLFI wasn’t having it.
They sent out a cease-and-desist. Trump Jr., Eric Trump, and even Barron stepped in to publicly say, “We had nothing to do with this.” That wallet? Unauthorized.
WLFI made it clear: if there’s going to be a Trump-themed wallet, it’s coming from them.
June 7: OTC Sale at $0.10
Just yesterday, WLFI executed a private OTC sale worth $40 million. The token was priced at $0.10.
Compared to the early rounds at $0.015 and $0.05, this marks a solid increase—but still far from the wild $10 speculation floating around.
This OTC deal confirms strong demand, even with limited access. Investors are clearly willing to pay a premium to get in.
So, What Now?
WLFI is in a strange spot.
The hype is massive, the community is loud, and demand is high. But the token isn’t live on any major exchange. That means most people still can’t buy it—even if they wanted to.
This creates a kind of FOMO loop. People hear about the big names, the token sales, and the growing treasury. But all they can do is wait.
The team has been quiet about the public launch. No dates. No timelines. Just hints. And this week, a small tease.
But if this momentum continues—and a listing does happen—it could be one of the most anticipated launches of the year.
Final Thoughts
We’re holding our WLFI bags tightly. And honestly, we’re not alone. The hype may feel over-the-top, but the fundamentals show this project is building fast and securing big allies.
Whether it’s worth $0.10, $1, or $10 in the future… we’ll see.
For now, WLFI remains a mystery everyone wants to solve—but only a few are invited to play.
Stay sharp. Stay early.
