Trump-Backed WLFI Token Plunges to All-Time Low Amid Heavy Sell-Off Pressure

• WLFI token crashed 60% from its peak and hit an all-time low of $0.1794 just days after launch.

• Most presale investors sold their tokens, and whale dumping created massive selling pressure.

• Buyback programs failed to stop the decline, and political controversy added more uncertainty.

The World Liberty Financial (WLFI) token continues its dramatic decline, reaching a new all-time low of $0.1794 just days after its highly anticipated launch. The Trump family-backed cryptocurrency began trading on September 1, 2025, with initial market enthusiasm quickly giving way to severe selling pressure.

The token currently trades at $0.1821, representing an 18% drop in a single day and a staggering 60% decline from its peak value of $0.46. WLFI quickly became one of the top 30 cryptocurrencies by market cap after trading began, but this early success proved short-lived as market forces turned against the digital asset.

Massive Token Unlocks Drive Price Collapse

The token launched with 24.67 billion WLFI tokens in circulation, approximately 24.67% of the 100 billion total supply. This substantial unlock created immediate selling pressure that overwhelmed buyer demand. Large-scale investors participating in the presale phase began liquidating their positions en masse.

Data from blockchain analytics firm Bubblemaps reveals telling statistics about investor behavior. Of the 85,000+ wallets that joined the presale, 29% have completely sold their holdings, while 10% have partially liquidated their positions. Only 60% of presale participants continue holding their tokens, with a mere 1% adding to their positions.

Whale activity further intensified the downturn. Major holders with millions of presale tokens executed large-scale dumps, creating cascading sell pressure that pushed the price below critical support levels. The breach of the $0.20 support zone marked a significant technical breakdown for the cryptocurrency.

Buyback Plans Fail to Stem Decline

World Liberty Financial is pitching a new tokenomics maneuver to shore up confidence after its rocky trading debut: a buyback-and-burn program funded by protocol-owned liquidity fees. The team burned 47 million tokens, representing 0.19% of the circulating supply, to reduce selling pressure and support the price.

Despite these intervention measures, the token continued its relentless decline. Market participants remained skeptical about the effectiveness of the buyback program, given the overwhelming supply dynamics and continued selling pressure from early investors.

Political Controversy Adds Market Uncertainty

The token’s struggles extend beyond market mechanics to political scrutiny. Senator Elizabeth Warren has criticized the Trump family’s $5 billion wealth increase from crypto ventures, calling it “corruption, plain and simple”. These conflict-of-interest allegations have created additional headwinds for the project.

Market analysts note that broader crypto market conditions remained favorable during WLFI’s decline, suggesting token-specific issues rather than general market weakness drove the sell-off. The Federal Reserve’s September meeting created some caution among traders, but overall sentiment toward digital assets remained positive.

Recovery prospects for WLFI remain uncertain as the token battles technical and fundamental challenges. Investors closely monitor the $0.20-$0.22 support range for potential stabilization signals while remaining cautious about the project’s long-term viability amid ongoing political and market pressures.
