Catenaa, Thursday, September 04, 2025- The Trump family’s cryptocurrency venture, World Liberty Financial, saw its $WLFI token decline about 12% to $0.246 on its first day of trading, capping a market capitalization just under $7 billion and ranking it the 31st largest crypto asset.
The Trump family-backed World Liberty Financial (WLFI) token launched on major exchanges in September 2025, reaching over $0.30 per token and a valuation above $30 billion.
About 24.7 billion tokens were initially circulating, with the rest locked or vested. The platform also expanded its USD1 stablecoin onto Solana, sparking high trading and derivatives activity.
The token became tradable after early investors approved a vote in July allowing up to 20% of holdings to be sold. Initially priced above $0.30, $WLFI provides investors voting rights over certain platform changes.
The debut enabled trading on major exchanges including Binance, OKX, Bybit, Coinbase, Upbit, and Gate, opening the market for speculation and price discovery.
World Liberty Financial, launched last year as a decentralized finance platform issuing a stablecoin, has generated approximately $500 million for the Trump family and partners from related transactions.
Early investors were attracted in part by the association with President Donald Trump, though analysts warn that initial volatility is typical for newly tradable crypto assets, even those with high-profile backing.
The full token supply totals 100 billion, with launch allocations including 10 billion for the World Liberty ecosystem, 7 billion for Alt5 Sigma’s treasury, and 2.8 billion for liquidity and marketing.
Early blockchain tracking showed approximately 160 million WLFI moved in presale wallets shortly after trading began, reflecting active investor engagement.
