- A whale purchased 13 million tokens worth $2.84 million from Binance
- Futures market saw $113.14 million in net inflows with Open Interest up 33%

World Liberty Financial’s WLFI token has experienced extreme price volatility in recent days, with the price climbing 28% to $0.2398 at press time. This rebound comes after the token hit a low of $0.16 just four days ago.
The Trump family-backed crypto project now has a market capitalization of $5.91 billion, reflecting renewed investor interest and capital inflows.
WLFI has been trading within an ascending channel since its recent low, reaching a local high of $0.2446 before slightly retracing.
The price recovery follows a turbulent week marked by accusations of market manipulation and controversy over the project’s approach to decentralization.
On its debut day, WLFI initially surged to $0.46 before experiencing a sharp 40% decline. This sudden drop raised concerns about potential price manipulation in the market.
In response to these concerns, the WLFI team took the unusual step of blocklisting 272 wallets they claimed were linked to manipulation. The most notable wallet belonged to Justin Sun, founder of Tron and a major investor in the project.
This action was described by the team as necessary to “protect user funds,” but critics argue it contradicts the fundamental principles of decentralization that underpin cryptocurrency projects.
Whale Activity and Market Sentiment
Market sentiment appears to be recovering following these protective measures. According to data from Lookonchain, a whale recently purchased 13 million WLFI tokens worth $2.84 million from Binance.

This substantial accumulation suggests growing conviction among large investors and may have helped fuel the recent price surge.
The futures market has shown even stronger optimism. Over the past day, futures recorded $2.16 billion in total inflows compared to $2.05 billion in outflows, resulting in a net inflow of $113.14 million.
Open Interest for WLFI futures contracts has jumped 33.02% to $1.1 billion, while derivatives volume increased by 61.2% to $6.74 billion. When both metrics rise together, it typically indicates growing market participation and capital inflow.
The Long/Short Ratio for WLFI stands at 1.057 overall, with Binance showing a particularly bullish 3.13 ratio. This suggests traders are positioning themselves for continued upward price movement.
Technical Outlook and Risk Factors
Despite these positive signals, profit-taking remains a significant risk factor. According to CoinGlass data, WLFI recorded a positive spot netflow of $6.69 million on September 6th, the first such occurrence.
While this netflow decreased to $710,000 at press time, the spike in exchange inflows suggests some investors are taking profits after the recent price increase.
World Liberty Financial Price on CoinGeckoFrom a technical perspective, WLFI faces crucial resistance around the $0.26 level. If the current momentum continues and long positions remain dominant, the token could target this level and potentially push toward $0.30.
However, if selling pressure intensifies, WLFI could retrace toward the $0.21 support level. Some analysts suggest a deeper correction could see the price test $0.15 or even $0.10 if market confidence deteriorates further.
The project’s future success hinges on its ability to rebuild trust while balancing security concerns with the principles of decentralization. The team’s decision to burn 47 million tokens was intended to stabilize the price, but has not fully restored investor confidence.
For now, WLFI continues to trade in a range between $0.20 and $0.25 as the market digests recent developments and awaits further clarification on the project’s direction.
