Whale of a Deal: Trump’s DeFi Project Makes Waves with 800M WLFI Tokens!

So, it seems Donald Trump has decided to dip his toes into the murky waters of decentralized finance with his latest venture, World Liberty Financial [NC]. And guess what? A whale—yes, a real-life, money-splashing whale—has been busy hoarding nearly 800 million WLFI tokens. I mean, who needs a yacht when you can have a digital currency, right? 🐋💸

This sudden surge in token hoarding is like watching a toddler discover a cookie jar—pure, unadulterated excitement! Institutional investors are apparently getting all hot and bothered over this, especially with the Trump Organization teasing a “major announcement” that’s got everyone speculating about a WLFI token exchange listing. Because nothing says “trust me” like a big reveal from a former president, am I right? 😏

Whale Activity Signals OTC Deal for WLFI Token

According to the blockchain detectives over at Arkham Intelligence, there’s been some serious over-the-counter (OTC) action happening with WLFI. Earlier today, our friendly neighborhood whale decided to transfer a cool $40 million USDT to World Liberty Finance. This isn’t just a one-time splurge; no, no! Just eight days ago, the same whale sent another $40 million USDT and received 400 million WLFI tokens four days later. Talk about a shopping spree! 🛒💰

Now, let’s talk prices. The WLFI tokens are being snatched up at prices that would make a presale investor weep. When they first launched on October 15, 2024, they were a steal at $0.015 per token. Fast forward to January 20, and the price jumped to $0.05 per token. The Trump-endorsed DeFi project wrapped up its presale in March, raking in a staggering $590 million. I can only imagine the celebratory tweets that followed! 🎉

Trump Organization Plans Major Announcement on June 16

In a plot twist worthy of a daytime soap opera, World Liberty Financial has announced a “major announcement” coming on June 16. Speculation is running wild that it might have something to do with WLFI trading. Because, of course, nothing screams “trustworthy investment” like a vague announcement from a reality TV star turned politician. 📅🤔

Last week, the Trump Organization also revealed a partnership with TRUMP coin, which is apparently a thing. They’re aiming to acquire this meme coin, because why not? Who doesn’t want to add a meme to their portfolio? 🤷‍♂️

Project chief Eric Trump has also mentioned that World Liberty Financial plans to stash a hefty amount of TRUMP Coin in its long-term treasury. Because if there’s one thing we know, it’s that long-term investments in meme coins are the way to go! 🙄

Market sentiment around WLFI is as bullish as a stampede of cattle, with the community eagerly awaiting the official announcement. In a recent YouTube video, analyst Quinten suggested that WLFI might soon be trading, potentially positioning itself as a competitor to the big boys in DeFi. Because who doesn’t want to take on the giants with a token that sounds like a bad reality show? 📈

Quinten even pointed out WLFI’s fully diluted market cap of $5 billion, estimating that if only 20% of the tokens are in circulation, the starting market cap could be around $1 billion. So, if you’re looking for a wild ride in the crypto world, buckle up! 🚀
