World Liberty Financial (WLF), a decentralized finance (DeFi) project backed by the Trump family, has successfully sold 99.3% of its recently issued 5 billion WLFI tokens.
The tokens went on sale on January 20, following a surge in demand after the initial public sale.
According to the data on the project’s official website, World Liberty Financial has now sold a total of 24.97 billion WLFI tokens out of a 25 billion token supply allocated for public sale.
For context, the total supply of WLFI tokens is 100 billion, with an initial allocation of 20 billion tokens designated for the first public sale. This sale commenced on October 15, 2024, with the token priced at $0.015. Furthermore, the project restricted access to individuals who qualified through a whitelist.
The initial target for the WLFI token sale was set at $300 million. Nonetheless, weak demand in the early stages led to a drastic reduction of the presale target to $30 million.
Despite the initial setback, the tides shifted after Official Trump (TRUMP) and Melania Meme (MELANIA) meme coins were launched. This launch sparked renewed interest in World Liberty Financial, leading to a surge in demand for WLFI tokens.
By January 20, World Liberty Financial had completed its initial token sale, selling 20% of its total token supply. However, seeing the surge in demand, the project released an additional 5% of its token supply at a price of $0.05 per token.
“An additional 5% of our token supply is now available to purchase on our website. We appreciate the overwhelming support and look forward to welcoming so many new people to our community!” the project posted on X.
At the time of writing, only 34.6 million tokens of the 5 billion public sale allocation remain available.
The WLFI token’s primary purpose is governance within the World Liberty Financial Protocol. It allows token holders to propose, discuss, and vote on key protocol decisions. This gives token owners an equal voice in shaping the platform’s development, ensuring fair and democratic changes to its ecosystem.
As an added measure, the tokens will remain non-transferable for the first 12 months post-launch. Moreover, any community-approved changes to this restriction will not take effect until the one-year period concludes.
The milestone comes shortly after World Liberty Financial announced a partnership with Sui (SUI). The aim of this collaboration is to explore opportunities in DeFi. It will also integrate Sui’s technology into WLFI’s token reserve, “Macro Strategy,” supporting leading DeFi projects.

XRP price climbed 2.3% on Wednesday, breaking past resistance levels as altcoin ETF speculation triggered renewed institutional buying pressure.
Ripple’s XRP token climbed 2.3% on Wednesday, crossing the $2.20 level for the first time in two weeks as ETF optimism gripped altcoin markets. The XRP price breakout follows a sustained consolidation below the $2.10 technical resistance zone that had capped gains since early April.
The broader crypto market witnessed moderate gains midweek, buoyed by expectations of a more favorable regulatory outlook following recent changes at the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.
Notably, Ripple price outperformed rival altcoins like BNB and Tron (TRX) on Wednesday. This is attributed to recent comments from Bloomberg’s Chief ETF Analyst Eric Balchunas suggested that the SEC may be nearing decisions on 72 altcoin ETF applications—most notably for XRP, Litecoin (LTC), and Solana (SOL).
Betting activity on decentralized prediction market Polymarket indicates that crypto investors have priced in a 32% chance of ETF approval for key altcoins. This reflects a 10% increase following the official swearing-in of Paul Atkins—known for his pro-crypto stance—as the new SEC Chair under the Trump administration.
Atkins’ appointment has heightened expectations that the regulatory body will pivot toward a more friendly stance on altcoin etfs in reviews, especially those with established market depth like XRP.
However, the current market structure also carries risks. With such high expectations, traders should be cautious of potential “sell-the-news” dynamics. Strategic investors may seek to offload positions upon official ETF approval, dumping on retail buyers.
Technical analyst Oscar Ramos reaffirmed his long-term bullish outlook on XRP earlier this month, predicting the token could reach $5 by the end of 2025. In a video published on April 9, Ramos outlined an Elliott Wave scenario in which XRP completes a long-term bullish breakout, driven by institutional flows and regulatory clarity.
Since Ramos’ prediction, XRP has surged 33% from $1.72 to $2.25, reinforcing confidence in his medium-term thesis. The rally has coincided with heightened interest from ETF speculators and broader anticipation of increased altcoin legitimacy under the new SEC regime.
Should the ETF verdict fall in XRP’s favor and institutional allocations materialize, Ramos’ $5 target could shift from speculative to structurally plausible. However, any delays or unfavorable rulings would likely delay that timeline, reinforcing the caution as market trends remain volatile.
XRP price continues to trade within a cautiously bullish structure after gaining over 33% in the last two weeks, closing Wednesday at $2.2257. Price action on the daily chart suggests a breakout attempt from a tight consolidation range that held since April 10, with XRP briefly testing the upper Donchian Channel band at $2.3010. This level marks immediate resistance, and a daily close above it could validate bullish continuation toward the $2.50 zone.
The 14-day rally, measured from the recent $1.72 swing low, occurred on increasing volume (2.57B) and signals solid market participation, a key condition for sustainable upward momentum.
The RSI-based oscillator (RSiOMA) shows a strengthening trend, with the green RSI line crossing above its moving average and holding near 49, suggesting buyers remain in control, though not yet in overbought territory.
However, failure to breach the $2.30 resistance could expose XRP to a pullback toward the $1.95 midpoint support.
A decisive rejection here may fuel a short-term correction, particularly if broader market sentiment falters or traders sell the news following ETF verdict speculation. For now, the structure leans bullish with an eye on $2.30 as a make-or-break level.
