Trump Family's 15.7B Stake Casts Shadow Over WLFI Burns

World Liberty Financial’s (WLFI) token price has plummeted 37% in recent weeks, trading near $0.21 as of September 2025, a 52% decline from its all-time high of $0.331336 reached on September 1^[1]. The sharp correction follows intense selling pressure from insiders and market participants, compounded by broader crypto market weakness. Over the past 30 days, WLFI has lost 23.15% of its value, with key support levels currently at $0.212645 and $0.190229^[3]. Analysts attribute the downturn to a combination of factors, including speculative trading, liquidity challenges, and comparisons to other Trump-linked assets like the Trump Media stock and Official Trump (TRUMP) meme coin, which have also seen significant declines^[4].

The project’s governance team has responded with a token burn proposal to redirect 100% of protocol fees toward buybacks, aiming to reduce supply and stabilize value^[2]. This initiative received overwhelming community support (99.8% approval), with proponents arguing that structural scarcity could counteract selling pressure. However, the effectiveness of the burn program remains uncertain, as WLFI’s circulating supply continues to expand—reaching 24.6 billion tokens, or 24.6% of the maximum 100 billion supply^[5]. Critics highlight the risk of future dilution, particularly as the Trump family holds 15.75 billion WLFI, raising questions about governance neutrality^[5].

A potential catalyst for recovery is the upcoming launch of a debit card tied to WLFI’s USD1 stablecoin. The debit card, part of the project’s hybrid finance platform, aims to drive real-world adoption by enabling users to transact with USD1 in everyday purchases^[4]. Proponents argue that increased utility could attract retail and institutional investors, particularly if the stablecoin gains traction in institutional settlements^[5]. However, skeptics note that similar initiatives have failed to sustain value without robust demand and regulatory clarity.

Technical analysis suggests WLFI is in a consolidation phase, with a critical resistance level at $0.23. A breakout above this threshold could trigger a rally toward $0.26 and potentially $0.42 in a bullish scenario^[1]. Conversely, a failure to hold above $0.21 could see the token retest lower support at $0.16^[3]. The Chaikin Money Flow (CMF) indicator has turned positive, signaling renewed buying pressure, but trading volume has dropped 42% in 24 hours, raising concerns about liquidity sustainability^[1].

Long-term price forecasts remain polarized. CoinEdition projects WLFI could reach $0.40 by 2025 and $0.90 by 2030 if the burn program and USD1 adoption succeed^[2]. However, Banklesstimes.com warns of further declines, predicting a potential drop to $0.168897 within five days and a 2025 low of $0.172^[3]. The project’s multi-year outlook hinges on its ability to differentiate itself in a crowded DeFi landscape, with analysts emphasizing the need for clear utility beyond political endorsements.
