World Liberty Financial (WLFI), the Crypto project supported by the Trump family, makes a spectacular entry into the derivative markets. The launch of its perpetual contracts propelled the diluted valuation (FDV) beyond $ 40 billion, even before the first official release of the tokens scheduled for September 1.
In short
- WLFI perpetual term contracts start on Binance, Bybit and OKX with a course around $ 0.42.
- This valuation implies an FDV (fully diluted valuation) of more than $ 40 billion.
- The first release of 20 % of the tokens will take place on September 1 via a “LockBox” system.
- The Trump family participation could be worth more than $ 9 billion during the current course.
WLFI explodes from its launch on Binance, Bybit and OKX
World Liberty Financial announced on Saturday the launch of the first perpetual term contracts for its WLFI token, now available on Binance, Bybit and OKX. These derivative products allow traders to bet on the evolution of the price without having to directly hold the tokens.
From the opening, the course took everyone short. On the side between $ 0.40 and $ 0.42, the WLFI thus recorded a dazzling increase compared to prices paid by initial investors.
Indeed, remember that the first contributors had acquired their chips at only 0.015 and $ 0.05 during private funds.
With a total offer of 100 billion tokens, this rating values the project to more than $ 40 billion in fully diluted value. A dizzying figure that illustrates the market appetite for a project closely associated with Donald Trump and his ambitions in decentralized finance.
Investors seem to anticipate that World Liberty will play a key role in the democratization of Stablecoins.
In addition, the considerable gap between the original prices and the current levels reflects both the usual speculation in the crypto sector and the media impact linked to a leading political figure. In other words, the WLFI already benefits from a “Trump” bonus which feeds the enthusiasm of the market and amplifies the media lever effect.
A carefully orchestrated release calendar
World Liberty Financial presented a detailed roadmap to supervise the next steps. From August 25, qualified investors will be able to activate their on-chain “lockbox”, a conformity mechanism prior to access to the tokens.
This first phase only concerns 20 % of the tokens acquired by early adopters, while the remaining 80 % will remain locked until a future governance vote. This choice reflects a prudent strategy: limit any massive influx in cash markets, while offering a tangible reward to first investors.
According to the team, “the vast majority” of contributors will be eligible for the immediate activation of their lockbox. Only a handful of non -compliant investors will be excluded. This selectivity appears to be a guarantee of seriousness and strengthens the credibility of the project vis-à-vis American regulators.
The tokens allocated to the founders, team members and advisers remain entirely frozen. Donald Trump and his family thus retain their 22.5 billion WLFI tokens in reserve, excluding any risk of immediate dumping. A method that contrasts with other crypto projects penalized by too fast releases.
With a valuation already estimated at $ 40 billion thanks to perpetual contracts, World Liberty stands out as one of the most monitored launches of the year. It remains to be seen whether the current euphoria will resist the test of the first release scheduled for September 1.
