WLFI trading opened on Tuesday hovering around 23 cents
According to public disclosures report "certain family members of Donald J. Trump [hold] 22.5 billion $WLFI tokens."
Thats about 5 BILLION $ in WLFI if the 23 cent value holds

World Liberty Financial said that these tokens were locked and can't be sold pending a vesting schedule TBD

Yesterday the value peaked at about 40 cents

Looks like it will be stable around 20-25 cents
Quite a slow week for anything related to bitcoin. It has stayed below the highs of $119k were it was before the massive dump of over a billion worth by a single whale selling off causing it to sink to where we are now. Around the $112k to $113k range without any change in the past 48 hours.

Only thing worth mentioning is Trump's Wealth Liberty Financial has announced a partnership with Crypto.com on Tuesday.

I guess big investors are manipulating prices to buy more Bitcoin at a discount. I mean, who doesn't? Good news not only for Trump himself, but the rest of the crypto community. And now that the FED is considering lowering rates, things will be even better. A weaker USD = higher market prices for risky assets in the long run.

Now that you've mentioned Trump's "World Liberty Financial" project, I've read online that one of Trump's companies wants to file an application with the SEC to launch spot ETFs. Totally bullish, imo. This partnership with Crypto.com should be "music to our ears". What's next? A partnership with Binance? One can only hope. We'll see what's next in store for crypto during the remainder of Trump's second term. I don't think there will be another President of the US as bullish as Donald Trump in the history of crypto.
The post above yours actually explains a little about how their family's back token had Binance being the first to list it on their exchange.
So you just know there are some connections there.

Found this post on X all about the project and how Justin Sun was a major investor of the WLFI token back in November 2024 and has already 10x his millions of buying it up during the presale:
