Treasury Management or Token Deals?

Trump-backed DeFi platform World Liberty Financial (WLFI) has refuted claims that it is actively selling tokens, following a Blockworks report citing anonymous sources. The report alleged that WLFI has been pitching token swap deals to blockchain projects, offering to exchange at least $10 million worth of unlaunched WLFI tokens for an equivalent amount of the respective blockchain’s native token—while also charging a 10% fee.

In response, WLFI’s official account dismissed the allegations, stating that any token movements are part of standard treasury management. “We are not selling tokens—we are simply reallocating assets for ordinary business purposes,” the team clarified on social media. WLFI further emphasized that these transactions are routine and necessary for managing fees, expenses, and liquidity.

WLFI’s Token Sale and Market Impact

The controversy follows WLFI’s recent token sale, in which it successfully sold 20% of its total 100 billion WLFI token supply, raising $254 million. The presale concluded just before Donald Trump re-entered office, though it fell short of the original $450 million target due to an initially slow start.

Despite early hurdles, demand surged in the final days of the offering. On the Saturday before Inauguration Day, only $91 million had been raised—about 35% of the eventual total. WLFI later expanded the sale, issuing an additional 5 billion tokens, representing 5% of the total supply, citing heightened market interest.

Suspicious Transactions and Regulatory Scrutiny

Adding to the speculation, WLFI recently purchased $2 million worth of MOVE tokens, a move that raised concerns within the crypto community. The transaction coincided with rumors of Movement Labs holding talks with the newly created Department of Government Efficiency, spearheaded by Elon Musk. Shortly after, Movement Labs announced a developer mainnet, a step not previously disclosed in its public roadmap.

With WLFI’s growing involvement in high-profile blockchain investments, questions persist regarding its long-term strategy. The platform maintains that it is operating within industry norms, but scrutiny over token distribution, partnerships, and regulatory compliance continues to mount. As the DeFi market evolves, WLFI’s actions will be closely watched by investors and regulators alike.CRYPTOCASTER® - DECENTRALIZED FREEDOM!
