The WLFI token is in the spotlight following a significant OTC transaction in which a whale or institutional investor transferred $40 million into the project.
The sale consisted of 800 million WLFI tokens priced at 0.10 USD each, implying growing confidence in the token’s long-term value prospects, even though it does not yet have trading capability.
Whale Activity Sparks Speculation About WLFI’s Future
On-chain metrics prove that it is the second-largest transaction related to the same whale wallet, which was first activated in March. This is the biggest single-asset purchase that the wallet has ever made, as it has been involved in DEX before and interacted with OKX. The buy is regarded as institutional in size. It could be a part of a larger plan relating to the future utility of the token in governance or a possible listing on an exchange.
The WLFI community considers the time of the purchase necessary since the project is about to release its token holder voting system on June 16. This capability will put its users in charge of development decisions. Among the initial votes will be one to have WLFI listed on exchanges, which may resolve a one-year-long token lock.
WLFI ownership expands across Ethereum and BNB chain
The current holders of WLFI include more than 83,000 Ethereum wallet addresses, but the concentration of the supply is in the accounts of whales. There is more supply in team wallets, probably to be used in future releases. The previous presale stages valued WLFI at 0.015 and 0.05, so the recent 0.10 sale has been made at a significant premium. This has led to speculation that the token might experience greater valuations when it can be traded on centralized or decentralized exchanges.
Although WLFI has yet to start trading, there is an increase in activity around the World Liberty Fi ecosystem. The project’s stablecoin, USD1, has been growing on several chains, with a recent addition of TRON. Nevertheless, the majority of USD1 trading is still centralized on the BNB Smart Chain.
USD1 Stablecoin and DeFi ambitions boost ecosystem activity
USD1 has reached a circulating supply of 2.18 million and records daily volumes of around $453 million. The token is widely used on PancakeSwap, primarily as a trading pair for meme tokens. A recent competition involving meme trading has helped boost its rank to the fourth most traded stablecoin by daily volume.
World Liberty Fi has also deposited Aave V3 account, intending to operate its own lending protocol. This distinct variation of Aave will be independent and it will utilise WLFI and USD1 to regulate liquidity and governance, as the project proceeds to establish a self-sufficient DeFi ecosystem.
