WLFI Token Drops as Jump Crypto Begins Profit Booking

Trump family-linked venture, World Liberty Financial (WLFI), saw its token suddenly drop after a price increase. Jump Crypto, a major investor, began selling part of its recent WLFI holdings. On-chain data shows that Jump Crypto received 100 million WLFI tokens, worth about $15.4 million, from World Liberty Financial, the token’s issuer. 

WLFI Futures Experience Significant Increase

Soon after receiving these tokens, some were transferred to Binance, suggesting selling activity that may have affected the market. 

After this transfer, the WLFI token price fell by 6%, cancelling its previous 26% profit. This fluctuation occurred despite better overall market conditions, as both Republicans and Democrats reached a deal to end the largest US government shutdown. 

However, Jump Crypto’s profit-taking move dampened the optimism in the crypto market. The token is currently trading at $0.1640, according to CoinMarketCap’s data. Similarly, the trading volume has increased by 792.69% in the past 24 hours. 

WLFI futures also saw a significant increase in open interest, rising over $280 million in just 24 hours. This increase indicates that more traders are getting involved, possibly to hedge their positions or to use leverage. Meanwhile, traders are watching these changes closely for signs of potential price fluctuations because high open interest often leads to increased volatility.

World Liberty Financial Navigates the Digital Finance World

Since launching in September 2024, the token has conducted two successful public sales, raising $550 million across 85,000 registered token holders. 

With Donald Trump’s family name reportedly behind it, the project is drawing investor attention. No doubt, it is also drawing political intrigue as it navigates the volatile world of digital finance.

Likewise, WLF has gained support among token holders. Also, it is geared to reward early backers with a test distribution of its freshly launched USD-pegged stablecoin. Recall that World Liberty Financial launched the USD1 token on the Solana blockchain in August 2025.

WLFI Executes First Token Burn as Market Struggles

In September, WLF took 47 million WLFI tokens out of circulation following the token’s market debut. The digital token, introduced into the crypto market with high expectations, quickly stumbled. It opened at $0.331 and lost over 31% of its value within days, forcing developers to act.

This token burn process permanently reduces supply. Of the 100 billion tokens first created, only one-quarter was released for public trading. Notably, WLFI teams not only burn tokens but have also proposed a buyback program to boost the token’s market value.

Undoubtedly, token burns are common in the cryptocurrency space. They are used to reduce supply, attract investors, and show commitment. This means the move is not unique to WLFI. The question is whether such efforts can rebuild trust and create lasting value in a competitive market.
