WLFI Token Debuts With $30B Valuation — What to Know
World Liberty Financial’s native token, WLFI, officially began trading on crypto exchanges and quickly surged past $0.30, reflecting a fully diluted valuation (FDV) of over $30 billion, based on its 100 billion total supply.
Binance and Other CEX Listings Drive Early Momentum
WLFI made its spot market debut on September 1, with Binance launching trading pairs WLFI/USDT and WLFI/USDC. Other major exchanges, including Upbit, Gate, and OKX, also confirmed support for the token, accelerating its visibility and liquidity across global markets.
24.67% of Total Supply Enters Circulation
At launch, approximately 24.67 billion WLFI tokens—or 24.67% of the total supply—entered circulation. This circulating supply is distributed as follows:
- 10 billion tokens unlocked for World Liberty Financial’s ecosystem.
- 7 billion tokens allocated to Alt5 Sigma Corporation as part of its long-term treasury strategy.
- 2.8 billion tokens designated for liquidity and marketing efforts.
In addition, 4 billion tokens (4% of supply) became claimable on day one by early public sale participants through the project’s Lockbox mechanism. These investors purchased WLFI in private rounds at $0.015 and $0.05.
Ties to Trump Family Draw Spotlight
World Liberty Financial is backed publicly by members of the Trump family, including Donald Trump, Donald Trump Jr., and Eric Trump. The project launched in 2024 as a decentralized finance (DeFi) platform aiming to bridge traditional financial products with blockchain infrastructure.
It operates primarily on the Ethereum network, leveraging Aave V3 for lending and borrowing functionalities.
Trading Volume and Valuation Soar
Ahead of the launch, WLFI saw a 400% increase in derivatives trading volume, as reported by The Block. If current pricing holds, WLFI’s market capitalization would be on par with major altcoins like Sui, Dogecoin, and Tron.
Early private round investors may now see returns of up to 20x on paper—though market conditions could change rapidly in the coming days.
Governance and Use Case
WLFI serves as the governance token for the protocol, enabling holders to vote on protocol decisions, incentive programs, and strategic development. Though initially non-transferable, holders approved open trading in July 2025, setting the stage for its market launch.
WLFI’s debut reflects growing interest in politically-affiliated crypto projects and raises questions around governance, transparency, and regulation. While early performance is strong, market watchers suggest caution amid the hype.
