Justin Sun buys more of Trump's WLFI than should be available

The much beleaguered cryptocurrency token World Liberty Financial (WLFI), which regularly lies about its token and also was endorsed by financial fraudster Donald Trump, has found a new supporter in Justin Sun. Sun announced that he has now purchased more of the token than anyone else and more than was supposed to be available.

Sun took to X (formerly Twitter) to announce that he had decided to “invest $30 million in World Liberty Financial.” The 2 billion WLFI tokens he purchased were sent to 0x5AB26169051d0D96217949ADb91E86e51a5FDA74, an address that was funded earlier today from Sun-advised HTX.

Strangely, the World Liberty Financial team had previously indicated in SEC filings that it intended to only sell a total of $30 million worth of this token, noting in a SEC filing that “the company currently only plans to sell tokens up to $30M in the offering before terminating sales.” It is not clear why it has decided to change this plan.

This change to the sale has also not been discussed in the World Liberty governance forum, which last saw activity 25 days ago. 

This purchase makes Sun the largest purchaser of this token, with the next closest holding less than one tenth as much as he has. Sun controls the majority of all purchased tokens.

However, Trump himself controls approximately ten times as many tokens as Sun.

A Dune dashboard created by ‘Seoulcalibur.eth’ suggests that approximately 68% of the total sales of the WLFI token have gone to just five wallets, but even all five of those wallets together have less than 15% as many tokens as Trump.

Sun’s purchase of this token comes right on the heels of Sun-advised HTX redeeming approximately $500m worth of Wrapped Bitcoin, a strange transaction since HTX did not previously disclose controlling WBTC.

Protos reached out to World Liberty Financial to determine why it decided to modify its planned token sale for Sun, but at press we have not received a response.

Dogecoin Price Prediction: DOGE Dips 7% As Investors Flock Its Rival PEPU Offering Last Chance To Buy Before Upcoming Tier-1 Exchange Listings

The Dogecoin price dropped 7% in the last 24 hours to trade at $0.3670 as of 01:31 a.m. EST on trading volume that plunged 30% to $15.6 billion. Dogecoin Price On A Sustained Bullish Trend The Dogecoin price has been in a significant uptrend recently, with a sharp rise in mid-to-late October and into November. The trend is clear from the steep ascent in price of Dogecoin above both the 50-day (yellow line) and 200-day (red line) Simple Moving Averages (SMAs). This signals strong bullish momentum in the short to medium term, according to data from GeckoTerminal . Moreover, the Relative Strength Index (RSI) is currently around the mid-range, close to 54, which suggests that there is no immediate overbought or oversold condition. This level of RSI indicates a cooling off period after what was likely an overbought condition during the rapid price increase. The RSI cooling off while price remains high could indicate consolidation before the next move. If the Dogecoin price sustains th...
