Launched with a $34 billion fully diluted valuation, the token briefly entered the top 10 most valuable crypto assets. However, soon after, its price plummeted, as insiders started selling.<\/p>\n<p>According to Reuters, WLFI opened around $0.31 per token, before reaching a high of $0.40. However, within hours, the token dropped to $0.26, 55% down from its high since it started trading. The likely culprit was insider selling.  <\/p>\n<p>On-chain data shows several major holders transferred millions of WLFI tokens to exchanges. One wallet alone moved 53 million WLFI to a Binance deposit address, a move that typically signals intent to sell.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Whales are dumping <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/search?q=%24WLFI&amp;src=ctag&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\">$WLFI<\/a>. <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/GcIsrSKCu8\">pic.twitter.com\/GcIsrSKCu8<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Ted (@TedPillows) <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/TedPillows\/status\/1962513013207962010?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\">September 1, 2025<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<p>    <!-- .cn-block-related-link --><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Trump family holds the majority of WLFI tokens<\/h2>\n<p>Most WLFI tokens are concentrated in the hands of Trump\u2019s family and insiders.

According to the WSJ, public filings show Donald Trump personally holds two-thirds of WLFI tokens. At current prices, these holdings are valued at more than $17 billion.<\/p>\n<p>Still, about 75% of the token supply remains locked, and Trump will likely be unable to liquidate such a large portion at current prices.
