World Liberty Financial coin dropped about 10% in the past 24 hours to $0.06787, leaving the token just 31% above its all-time low of $0.05159, set eight days ago.
A recent Bloomberg investigation into World Liberty Financial (WLFI) revealed that, after closing two fundraising rounds totaling over $550 million, the project quietly sold 5.9 billion additional tokens to unnamed private investors and directed the proceeds to founder-affiliated entities without informing existing holders.
Sen. Elizabeth Warren amplified the report on May 8, stating that the Trump family cashed out while regular investors were left holding losses, and that any crypto legislation failing to address what she described as presidential corruption isn’t worth passing.
Investors Locked Out as Insiders Collect Token Sale Proceeds
The major reason the WLFI coin is crashing today is that a Bloomberg investigation exposed how the project quietly sold 5.9 billion additional tokens to private buyers after its public fundraising closed, directing proceeds to founder-affiliated entities while existing holders remained locked out of 80% of their positions.
DT Marks DEFI LLC, the Trump-affiliated entity, is entitled to 75% of all WLFI token sale proceeds, with Trump-affiliated parties holding a total of 22.5 billion tokens. Early buyers are down 85.29% from the $0.46 all-time high.
Another reason is the governance restructuring proposal that passed on May 7. Over 62 billion WLFI tokens are now authorized for unlocking, but holders face a 2-year cliff before they can access any of them, including insiders. 10% of insider allocations will be permanently burned, and if investors reject the new terms, their tokens will be locked indefinitely.
Pressure from elsewhere adds to the selloff. Justin Sun, who claims a $45 million position he cannot sell, sued in April, alleging extortion. He separately alleged that the project can freeze investor tokens through hidden backdoors, a charge World Liberty Financial denies.
Five billion WLFI remain posted on Dolomite with $50 million in stablecoins outstanding, and Alt5 Sigma, which raised $1.5 billion in August 2025 specifically to hold WLFI, has since pivoted to artificial intelligence and flagged potential token sales.
WLFI Price Rejects Resistance Amid Bearish Structure
WLFI/USDT on Binance opened at $0.0701, pushed to a 24-hour high of $0.07533, then sellers stepped in at the $0.070–$0.075 descending trendline band, a zone that has produced multiple rejections, and the token fell back to $0.0677.
The RSI bounced from oversold but remains below 50 and is already curling after the rejection, consistent with a dead-cat bounce inside a larger bearish channel. No higher high has formed off the May 2 all-time low of $0.05159.
A WLFI price prediction grounded in structure targets $0.058–$0.060 as the first support area, followed by $0.048–$0.050 at the channel and psychological support levels. Failure there opens $0.035–$0.040 for the World Liberty Financial coin.
Overhead, the $0.080–$0.100 zone remains the heaviest supply concentration on the board. The World Liberty Financial crypto is down 52.82% year-to-date, 56.15% over the past six months, and 23.59% on the month.
Bears don’t cede control until the WLFI price closes decisively above $0.075–$0.080 with follow-through, and nothing in the current fundamental picture supports that scenario.
