The World Liberty Financial (WLFI) token is trading at roughly $0.057, remaining well below $1, largely due to massive circulating supply, liquidity restrictions, and controversies surrounding its internal token economics. The linked deal refers to AI Financial Corporation (NASDAQ:AIFC), which disclosed holding $380 million worth of WLFI tokens.
Here are the details behind the token’s price and the corporate deal:
- The AI Financial Deal: AI Financial Corporation (formerly Alt5 Sigma) recently filed a Form 8-K disclosing that roughly 3.32 billion of its WLFI tokens (valued at over $180 million) are now available to be used as collateral, staking, or lending to bolster corporate liquidity. A further 3.58 billion tokens remain locked.
- Why the Price is Under $1: WLFI was initially issued as a non-transferable governance token heavily tied to the Trump family’s DeFi venture. The project suffers from massive dilution with a max supply of 100 billion, forcing the per-token price to sit at the $0.05 to $0.06 mark.
- Market Contagion: Prior to the recent liquidity update, AI Financial’s stock had plunged by over 90% since late 2025, largely due to its concentrated exposure to the thinly traded WLFI token. The corporate declaration aims to reassure investors that they have “substantially mitigated” their financial struggles using these assets, though the market value remains heavily dependent on WLFI’s spot price.
