Trump-Backed WLFI Token Hits All-Time Low, Sinks Under $0.18: What to Know?

Highlights

  • Trump-backed WLFI token sinks 60% from peak, hitting an all-time low of $0.1794 today.
  • Massive sell-off from whales and presale unlocks fueled the crash.
  • Criticism grows as Senator Elizabeth Warren calls it “corruption, plain and simple.”

The struggles of the Trump-backed WLFI token are still persistent today, pushing it to a new all-time low. Notably, the token had a massive demand even before launch and was maintained even after launch, but the sell-off and whale moves brought an entirely different trajectory. As a result, the token has sunk 60% from the peak, down to the $0.18 mark.

WLFI Token Early Peak and Dip

The WLFI token launched on September 1, 2025, and gained immediate attention on launch as investors had been waiting for this opportunity. With heavy demand, the token witnessed an initial spike, surging to its current ATH of $0.46, reflecting investors’ speculative activity.

However, shortly after the surge, the token plunged nearly 25% to $0.21 before bouncing to $0.24, followed by other corrections. In just a day, WLFI price dropped 50% from its ATH ($0.46) to $0.23 and to its all-time low of $0.1794 today.

Currently, it trades at $0.1821 with $4.49B in market capitalization, marking an 18% drop today and 60% from the peak. Notably, multiple forces were at play for this Trump-backed token, including token unlocks, sell pressure, corruption claims, and more.

Although the World Liberty Financial team attempted to handle the collapse, with a 47M token burn (0.19% of the circulating supply), the token still crashed further and further.

What Pushed the WLFI Token to an All-Time Low?

The all-time low came after the world liberty financial token dipped below the crucial $0.2 support, fueled by the 4 billion token unlock, whale sell-off, and more.

CoinGape experts note that 20% of WLFI supply is unlocked on launch, which later resulted in a massive sell-off. Larger whales like 0xC3e7, 0x7ed4, and others who had millions of presale tokens ended up mass dumping them, building selling pressure, and the WLFI price crashed.

Bubblemaps also reported that out of the 85,000+ wallets that joined presale, 29% have fully sold their world liberty financial token, 10% partially sold, hence the dip. However, the crypto market conditions were entirely favorable for the uptrend, since investors had taken a cautious trading approach ahead of the September FOMC meeting.

Besides the political criticism of Trump, the claim of “conflict of interest” is still maintained. U.S. Senator Elizabeth Warren has reacted to the Trump family adding more than $5 billion to their wealth, calling it “It’s corruption, plain and simple.”

Although the WLFI token price crash is severe, some investors believe recovery is imminent once the sell-off pressure settles. While they are watching the $0.20-$0.22 support, others are questioning the claims of recovery, since Trump’s official TRUMP token collapsed and is still struggling to recover.

Now it’s on the upcoming macroeconomic events and the buyback methods, which may influence the recovery. However, for now, investors must stay cautious and trade with research, skipping FOMO.
