WLFI Spot Trading Launches Today — Crypto Markets May See Turbulence
TradingKey – The Trump family’s DeFi governance token WLFI begins spot trading today, with the potential to drain liquidity and amplify volatility across the crypto market.
On Monday, September 1, major exchanges — OKX, Kraken, MGBX, and others—will open WLFI for spot trading. WLFI is the governance token of World Liberty Financial, a decentralized finance project launched by the Trump family.
Because of its high-profile political backing, WLFI is likely to attract intense investor demand at launch. A flood of capital into WLFI could push its price sharply higher — a so-called “vampire effect” that may exacerbate stress in an already fragile crypto market.
In addition, the Trump-branded meme token TRUMP could take an even bigger hit. While both tokens share family ties, TRUMP lacks tangible utility or on-chain use cases. Investors may rotate out of TRUMP and into WLFI, putting further downward pressure on the former.
As of press time, TRUMP is trading at $8.34, down 88% from its all-time high of $75. Analysts at investment bank Compass Point warn that WLFI could repeat TRUMP’s fate:“If exchanges list WLFI at an inflated valuation, it risks the same trajectory as TRUMP — resulting in losses for retail investors.”
