2025-08-31 21:35:59

The DeFi project launched by the Trump family at World Liberty Financial will have 20% of the rights obtained by early investors unlocked today at 15:00 GMT. World Liberty Financial, which will start being listed on many exchanges including Binance, had its futures trading opened last week.

Futures traders who knew that spot trading would start on Monday really stepped on the gas yesterday. The futures and derivatives volume for WLFI token experienced a 400% increase yesterday, surpassing 3.1 billion dollars. The open position value also increased by more than 50%, exceeding 760 million dollars.

Binance is the clear leader…

In the futures trading volume, Binance was clearly number 1. Half of the trading volume of the WLFI token was on Binance. There was over 1.5 billion dollars in futures trading volume on the exchange. This figure was 607 million dollars for OKX exchange and 428 million dollars for Bitget exchange.

There are also those who have made it to the top 20.

If current prices are maintained, the WLFI token with a total supply of 100 billion tokens is expected to have a fully diluted value of over 31 billion dollars. The proportion of tokens that will be unlocked today corresponds to 5% of the total supply. If the token trades at $0.30 as indicated on some platforms, it will enter the top 45 cryptocurrencies by market value. Some investors expect the WLFI token to rise into the top 20.

The Trump-backed project had also launched the USD1 coin following the developments of stablecoins in the US.

It is stated that the Trump family has a stake of 22.5 billion tokens in World Liberty Financial. Donald Trump is also heavily criticized in the US for alleged conflicts of interest regarding his investments in crypto projects. On the other hand, the founders who have token rights in the project, including Donald Trump’s sons Trump Jr. and Eric Trump, do not have the right to sell tokens in today’s spot trades.

When the project was launched last year, it was stated that the WLFI token would be closed to general sales. However, this decision was changed a short time ago.
