WLFI recently experienced its largest realized profit event on record after billions of tokens were sold by holders following a major market catalyst.
According to blockchain analytics platform Santiment, approximately 1.8 billion WLFI tokens were sold at a profit on May 18. The large scale selling activity came only weeks after the token fell to an all time low.

Santiment also revealed that the “age consumed” metric, which measures dormant tokens suddenly moving on chain, surged to a record 17.4 trillion during the event.
The sharp increase suggests that a significant amount of long inactive WLFI supply reentered the market at once.
The analytics firm linked the activity to Binance launching a USD1/BTC trading pair, allowing traders to use WLFI’s USD1 stablecoin as collateral for Bitcoin futures for the first time.
According to Santiment, the listing created a rare opportunity for long term holders to finally exit positions after months of sustained price declines.
The firm stated that the highly publicized listing provided investors with a major moment to cash out after a prolonged downturn.
Despite the recent rebound, WLFI remains down more than 80% from its September 2025 all time high near $0.33.
The situation worsened further late last month when the token collapsed to a record low around $0.05.
Santiment attributed that decline to governance disputes, controversy surrounding a proposed unlock of 62 billion tokens, and allegations of undisclosed insider token sales.
The token unlock proposal sparked intense criticism from investors and eventually led to a public clash with Justin Sun, one of World Liberty Financial’s largest investors.
Sun reportedly described the proposal as one of the most absurd governance scams he had ever encountered.
The dispute escalated further after Sun filed a lawsuit against the project in a California federal court. WLFI later responded with a countersuit, accusing him of orchestrating a coordinated media smear campaign.
Current State of WLFI
Beyond unlocking dormant selling pressure, the Binance listing appears to have triggered additional on chain activity connected to the project.
Crypto analyst CryptoNotaz highlighted several large USD1 burn transactions reportedly linked to World Liberty Financial during the same period.
At the time of writing, WLFI was trading near $0.061, representing a decline of almost 12% over the past week and roughly 22% over the last month.
The token currently holds a market capitalization of approximately $1.9 billion, while its fully diluted valuation stands near $6.1 billion.
Only around 31.8 billion of the token’s total 100 billion supply is currently circulating in the market.
Meanwhile, futures open interest for WLFI sits around $181.7 million, according to data from CoinGlass.
Over the past 24 hours, roughly $226,000 worth of positions were liquidated, with long positions accounting for slightly more than $133,000 of the total.#crypto#cryptonews https://coinsignals.net https://t.me/coinsignalpublic
