World Liberty Financial ($WLFI ): Detailed Analysis of the First Days After Launch
Launch and Initial Price Movements
World Liberty Financial (#WLFI ), linked to Donald Trump, launched on September 1st, generating significant buzz. The token entered the crypto world with an opening price of $0.28 and an initial market capitalization of $5.63 billion. Even more striking was its launch with a fully diluted valuation (FV) of $26 billion. This figure made WLFI one of the world's most valuable projects from day one.
Shortly after launch, the token reached its peak of $0.32. However, this rise was short-lived; within a few hours, the price fell to $0.22. As of today, WLFI continues to trade below its opening price.
Tokenomic Concerns and Initial Criticism
The harshest criticisms of the project came from tokenomic uncertainties and pre-sale practices. Specifically:
The private presale,
The non-transferability of tokens in the early days of the launch (locking out non-CEX purchases),
The public sale of only 4.24% of the 100 billion supply,
undermined investor confidence. This fueled concerns that it could create long-term inflationary pressures.
Following criticism, the WLFI team took swift action, removing 48 million WLFI tokens (worth approximately $11 million) from circulation. This burn was interpreted as the first sign that the project might be willing to control the supply.
Market Capitalization and Fluctuations
Launch day: $8 billion market capitalization
Today: $5.4 billion market capitalization
This decline suggests that investors are becoming more cautious after the excessive speculation in the early days.
$WLFI's Impact on $TRUMP
The launch of WLFI had a direct impact on another Trump-related token, the TRUMP memecoin.
$TRUMP trading volume decreased by 70% in the last 24 hours.
In contrast, WLFI's trading volume continued to increase despite the decline.
This suggests that some investor interest may have shifted from TRUMP to WLFI. While $TRUMP saw a small increase on launch day, it quickly fell back to its previous levels. Currently, $TRUMP is trading at $8.41, well below its intrayear high of $45.47.
Overall Assessment
WLFI's launch created significant volatility in the crypto market. However, the project remains under serious doubt due to its high FV, weak token credibility, and limited demand.
On the other hand, the burn and the buoyant trading volume suggest that the project is attempting to establish itself in the market in the short term. The most critical issue for investors will be how WLFI will develop its ecosystem and balance inflation risk in the long term.
