- WLFI launches with a circulating supply of approximately 24.67 billion tokens, revising earlier estimates of 27 billion following internal audits and coordination with data platforms.
- Early price action shows a steep post-launch selloff, with whale activity and early investor profit-taking contributing to downward pressure.
- Token allocations include 10 billion for ecosystem operations, 7.78 billion to Alt5 Sigma, and 2.88 billion for liquidity and marketing, alongside a partial unlock of 4 billion for public sale participants.
Trump-backed World Liberty Financial (WLFI) said on Tuesday that it will launch its (WLFI) token with approximately 24.67 billion tokens in circulation, with roughly 4 billion allocated to public sale participants as part of their initial 20% unlock at launch.
According to the announcement, an earlier figure of 27 billion tokens that had been circulating online was based on preliminary data. That number has now been revised in coordination with data platforms following internal checks on wallet allocations and unlock schedules.
Of the total tokens going live, 10 billion have been unlocked for the company’s own operations, including ecosystem development under World Liberty Financial, Inc.
Another 7.78 billion will be held by Alt5 Sigma Corporation, which is set to control about 8% of the total WLFI supply. The firm has been described as a key strategic partner with a treasury role in the broader financial framework.
An additional 2.88 billion tokens have been set aside for liquidity and marketing, while public sale participants are unlocking 4 billion tokens at launch.
Beyond the circulating supply, the company also revealed that a much larger reserve will remain locked.
Nearly 20 billion tokens are being held in treasury, more than 33 billion are allocated to the founding team, and over 16 billion from the public sale will stay locked after the initial distribution.
Additionally, another 5.8 billion tokens allocated for strategic partners will also be inaccessible at launch.
World Liberty Financial has vowed to release details on token metrics and project milestones, calling transparency a key priority as WLFI enters the market. While exact schedule for unlocking token reserves hasn’t been shared yet, the company says more information will be provided in upcoming transparency reports.
Initial release is painted in red. Should we panic?
The WLFI price chart is showing a pattern that has become too familiar in the world of token launches. What began with a dramatic surge has quickly turned into a steep decline, as price momentum faded and sellers took control.
The opening candle shows a powerful upward move, followed by a tall wick that signals heavy rejection at the top. This often points to early buyers selling into the hype while liquidity is high.
In the sessions that followed, price action has mostly drifted downward. Small green candles attempted to stabilize the chart, but each recovery has been short-lived. The overall trend is now leaning decisively lower, and trading activity appears to be thinning out.
One of the key drivers behind this move is the wave of early investors cashing in their gains. Additionally, reports of whales selling their tokens have emerged, contributing to sustained sell pressure. This kind of behavior is common in projects that use a model where portions of the supply are allocated before the token becomes tradable on the open market.
It is still early to make a definitive call on the future direction, as much of the supply remains locked, and the broader market may eventually provide a more stable floor.
This type of early volatility is expected in projects that follow the previously-owned-before-launch structure, especially when significant token unlocks are already circulating.
For now, caution seems appropriate as the market watches to see whether real demand emerges or if the downward trend continues.
