World Liberty Financial (WLFI), the Trump-linked DeFi project, officially launched on September 1, 2025, and surged straight into the top 25 cryptocurrencies on CoinMarketCap, debuting at rank 24.
WLFI opened with a market cap of $6.35 billion and an FDV of $26.07 billion, signaling one of the most high-profile token launches of the year.
At launch, WLFI briefly spiked close to $0.40, but intense selling pressure quickly took hold. The token’s unlock event released 20% of presale allocations, sold at just $0.015, giving early backers extraordinary gains. Many seized the chance to lock in profits, triggering a rapid decline.
By evening, WLFI had slid to around $0.25, erasing much of the opening spike and underscoring the volatility surrounding new token listings.
Trading began between 12:00 and 13:00 UTC on Binance, OKX (Turkey), Gate.io, KuCoin, MEXC, and others, while Kraken confirmed upcoming USD and EUR spot pairs.
Binance and Bybit also launched perpetual futures markets on August 23, deepening liquidity but amplifying price swings.
Despite the price drop, WLFI recorded a 44 million percent surge in trading volume within 24 hours, and with 24.66 billion tokens in circulation, further unlocks are expected to influence price action.
The debut highlights WLFI’s extraordinary visibility but also the risks: early presale profits colliding with post-launch speculation. For now, WLFI remains one of the most-watched tokens of September.
