WLFI Token Hits Lowest Price Since Debut at $0.0888

World Liberty Financial's WLFI token fell nearly 10% on April 9, hitting $0.0888 — its lowest price since the late-2025 debut.

The drop comes as the token faces mounting pressure from concentrated ownership and investor lockups. The Trump family and associates hold approximately 60% of WLFI's token supply, while early presale investors remain locked out of their allocations. First-round presale buyers paid 1.5 cents per token, while second-round buyers paid 5 cents.

Crypto analyst DeFiSquared called WLFI a "slow rug," stating holders "are not entitled to ANY protocol revenue at all." The project's Gold Paper specifies that 75% of protocol revenue goes to the Trump family, with the remaining 25% going to the Witkoff family. DeFiSquared shorted WLFI since pre-market prices above $0.34, citing dilution and intentional extraction as key concerns.

Just before Trump took office, lieutenants to an Abu Dhabi royal signed for a 49% stake in WLFI for ₱29.76 billion ($500 million). Trump denied knowledge of the deal, stating his family handles WLFI matters and his crypto wealth sits in a blind trust. U.S. Representative Ro Khanna launched a House investigation into the foreign investment ties, requesting documents on the stake deal and the use of WLFI's USD1 stablecoin in transactions.

The token's governance structure shows heavy insider control. A recent governance proposal passed with 99.12% approval, but 76% of voting tokens came from just 10 wallets. Meanwhile, 500 million WLFI tokens moved to Jump Trading while investor allocations remained locked.

The April 9 drop leaves early presale investors facing paper losses despite WLFI's implied valuations of ₱89.29 billion ($1.5 billion) in the first round and ₱297.65 billion ($5 billion) in the second round, with Representative Khanna's investigation ongoing.
