Donald Trump's World Liberty Financial (WLFI) Token Sees Significant Whale Activity Ahead of Major Announcement

Donald Trump's DeFi project, World Liberty Financial [NC], has recently seen significant whale activity, likely from a large institution or exchange.

Donald Trump’s DeFi project, World Liberty Financial [NC], is showing interesting activity with a large institutional investor or exchange, massively accumulating WLFI tokens over the past week.

According to blockchain analytics firm Arkham Intelligence, the institutional investor has already bought up nearly 800 million WLFI tokens.

The new accumulations come after the Trump Organization announced a major project update. The new announcement, scheduled for June 16, has led to increased speculation about a potential exchange listing for the WLFI token.

As such, it seems like a new OTC deal has been completed by an institutional investor or whale, transferring 40 million USDT to World Liberty Financial.

This transaction comes eight days after the same whale sent 40 million USDT to World Liberty and received 400 million WLFI in return.

The transactions highlight the growing interest and potential large-scale accumulation of WLFI, which could have significant implications for its future market activity.

The reported price for the WLFI tokens is also notably higher than their presale prices.

Initially launched on October 15, 2024, the presale for the WLFI token started at $0.015 per token.

However, by January 20, an additional 5% of the token supply was allocated to the presale at an increased price of $0.05 per token.

The Trump-endorsed DeFi project concluded its presale in March, successfully raising approximately $590 million.

Earlier this week, World Liberty Financial announced that a major announcement is coming on June 16, with many speculating that this could be related to the trading of WLFI tokens.

This announcement follows last week’s news that the Trump Organization has partnered with TRUMP coin to acquire the meme coin.

During the partnership, chief of the project, Eric Trump, announced that World Liberty Financial plans to allocate a significant amount of TRUMP Coin to its long-term treasury holdings.

As such, sentiment around WLFI remains bullish as the community anticipates an official announcement.

In a recent YouTube video, analyst Quinten suggested that the token might launch for trading soon, positioning itself as a potential competitor to leading DeFi projects.

According to his analysis, the fully diluted market cap of WLFI is $5 billion. If only 20% of the tokens are initially in circulation, the token’s starting market cap would be approximately $1 billion.
