Trump-Backed WLFI Token Launches with $7B Market Cap, Price Prediction to $1.

WLFI, a payments and lending token backed by the Trump family, has launched with a market cap of $7 billion. Analyst VirtualBacon predicts a potential price of $1, which would give it a fully diluted valuation of $100 billion and a market cap of $24.6 billion. The token's utility through lending platforms, stablecoin demand, and retail payment apps could justify growth, but critics warn it may be another meme-like pump. WLFI's first day saw a 12% drop, but strong exchanges and retail attention suggest it could sustain momentum.

World Liberty Financial (WLFI) has officially launched its governance token, marking a significant milestone in the decentralized finance (DeFi) landscape. The token, which has over 24 billion tokens in circulation, has been listed on major exchanges like Binance and Kraken, with Coinbase planning to follow suit. WLFI is the 23rd largest cryptocurrency by market value, with a circulating supply of 24.66 billion tokens and a fully diluted market cap of $30 billion [1].

The token's launch has been met with a positive reception, with major exchanges quickly adding it to their listings. According to Lookonchain data, several large presale investors have moved significant amounts of WLFI tokens to exchanges, reflecting the profit motive of early participants [1]. The token's price has seen substantial movement across major crypto platforms, currently trading at around $0.30 per token.

WLFI's utility extends beyond governance, as it functions as a payments and lending token. The token's integration with lending platforms, stablecoin demand, and retail payment apps could justify its growth potential. However, critics warn that it may be another meme-like pump, given its rapid price fluctuations and high speculation [3].

Analyst VirtualBacon predicts a potential price of $1 for WLFI, which would give it a fully diluted valuation of $100 billion and a market cap of $24.6 billion. The token's first day saw a 12% drop, but strong exchanges and retail attention suggest it could sustain momentum [2].

The token's rollout coincides with a day-one unlock, where 20% of the WLFI purchased by early investors in the $0.015 and $0.05 funding rounds becomes claimable via the project’s Lockbox process. This represents an amount characterized as roughly 5% of total supply, or approximately 4 billion tokens [2].

The outstanding supply is non-circulating at launch, comprising 19.96 billion WLFI for the Treasury, 33.51 billion tokens for the Team, 16 billion WLFI as the locked portion of the public sale, and 5.8 billion coins for strategic partners, each subject to vesting or lock-up conditions [2].

World Liberty Financial's spot launch follows days of pre-listing activity, with derivatives activity climbing sharply into the CEX debut. If the price holds after launch, WLFI’s fully diluted valuation (FDV) would sit in the neighborhood of Sui, Dogecoin, and Tron, around $32–$33 billion, according to The Block’s price data [2].
