WLFI recently experienced its largest realized profit event on record after billions of tokens were sold by holders following a major market catalyst.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Santiment also revealed that the \u201cage consumed\u201d metric, which measures dormant tokens suddenly moving on chain, surged to a record 17.4 trillion during the event.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The sharp increase suggests that a significant amount of long inactive WLFI supply reentered the market at once.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The analytics firm linked the activity to Binance launching a USD1\/BTC trading pair, allowing traders to use WLFI\u2019s USD1 stablecoin as collateral for Bitcoin futures for the first time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to Santiment, the listing created a rare opportunity for long term holders to finally exit positions after months of sustained price declines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The firm stated that the highly publicized listing provided investors with a major moment to cash out after a prolonged downturn.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Despite the recent rebound, WLFI remains down more than 80% from its September 2025 all time high near $0.33.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The situation worsened further late last month when the token collapsed to a record low around $0.05.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Santiment attributed that decline to governance disputes, controversy surrounding a proposed unlock of 62 billion tokens, and allegations of undisclosed insider token sales.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The token unlock proposal sparked intense criticism from investors and eventually led to a public clash with Justin Sun, one of World Liberty Financial\u2019s largest investors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sun reportedly described the proposal as one of the most absurd governance scams he had ever encountered.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Current State of WLFI<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Beyond unlocking dormant selling pressure, the Binance listing appears to have triggered additional on chain activity connected to the project.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Crypto analyst CryptoNotaz highlighted several large USD1 burn transactions reportedly linked to World Liberty Financial during the same period.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The token currently holds a market capitalization of approximately $1.9 billion, while its fully diluted valuation stands near $6.1 billion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Only around 31.8 billion of the token\u2019s total 100 billion supply is currently circulating in the market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meanwhile, futures open interest for WLFI sits around $181.7 million, according to data from CoinGlass.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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<\/a> https:\/\/t.me\/coinsignalpublic<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
