World Liberty Financial (WLFI), a token closely tied to Donald Trump’s family, has quickly become one of the market’s most bearish assets after launch. Despite a $47 million token burn meant to support its price, WLFI has lost over 40% in just a few days, leaving whales with millions in losses.
Million-Dollar Losses for Whales
According to Onchain Lens, wallet Whale 0x432 lost more than $1.6 million after closing a 3x leveraged long position on WLFI. Ironically, just 15 hours earlier, the same investor had secured a $915,000 profit on a previous trade—only to jump back in too quickly and suffer a devastating loss.
“The lesson: never let FOMO drive your trades,” Onchain Lens wrote in a Thursday X post.
Other whales also joined the bloodbath. Wallet 854RaR, which bought $2 million worth of WLFI just days earlier, was down more than $650,000 by Thursday. On Hyperliquid, trader 0x1527 lost over $2.2 million on a long position.
Meanwhile, trader 0x92bb earned $1.8 million on a short position, effectively betting against WLFI’s price.
Token Burn Fails to Halt the Slide
On Wednesday, WLFI’s platform burned $47 million worth of tokens in an effort to shrink supply and boost value. The move didn’t work—WLFI plunged another 18% within 24 hours, bringing its total decline since Monday’s launch to 41%.
Even public figures couldn’t save it. Andrew Tate, former kickboxer and controversial influencer, also bet on WLFI’s rise but was liquidated on Hyperliquid, losing $67,500.
WLFI Among Top 10 Bearish Tokens
The more than 40% drop also hit investor sentiment hard. According to CoinMarketCap, WLFI is now the 9th most bearish token among the top 100 cryptocurrencies.
📉 31.9% of holders are bearish on its outlook—a clear sign that confidence in the Trump-linked token is eroding fast.
👉 The WLFI saga shows how quickly investor hype can turn into losses. Whales who chased quick profits are now nursing millions in losses, and the big question is whether WLFI can recover—or whether it will become yet another cautionary tale for the crypto world.
