Donald Trump’s World Liberty Financial Token Sale Of WLFI Falls Flat Amid Website Crashes

The debut token sale for World Liberty Financial, the crypto project backed by Donald Trump, struggled to gain traction on launch, with only a small fraction of its WLFI tokens sold.

The WLFI token sale went live on Oct. 15 amid high traffic and much hype that helped trigger website crashes, but the sale failed to live up to expectations, netting only about $10 million.

After going live at 8:40 a.m. ET yesterday, the WLFI token sold over 344 million tokens to 3,000 unique addresses within the first hour at $0.015 a piece, raising a little more than $5 million.

Multiple website outages marred the sale, hindering the buying process and frustrating potential investors. By 11:25 p.m. ET, only 610 million WLFI tokens had been sold out of the 20 billion set aside for the token sale, raising $9.15 million.

The situation wasn’t helped by a proliferation of fake WLFI tokens, of which there are at least seven on CoinMarketCap. One surged 178% while another has crashed 86%.

World Liberty Financial is a crypto venture backed by the Trump family that aims to leverage blockchain technology to create decentralized finance (DeFi) services as an alternative to traditional banking systems.

“We’re leading a financial revolution by dismantling the stranglehold of traditional financial institutions and putting the power back where it belongs: in your hands,” says the project’s website.

The token sale was highly anticipated, with over 100,000 whitelisted participants confirmed before the launch.

Donald Trump Takes To Social Media To Promote World Liberty Financial

Donald Trump took to social media to support the new project.

“Today’s the day!” the presidential candidate said in a post on social media platform X.

The project calls Trump its “chief crypto advocate,” while Trump’s sons, Eric, Barron, and Donald Jr., are referred to as “Web3 ambassadors.”

The project’s website says the project is ”Inspired by Donald J. Trump,” and urges people to ”Be Defiant” and ”Shape A New Era of Finance.”

Crypto market ‘dramatically underestimates’ bullishness of spot Bitcoin ETFs

“It’s reckless not to aggressively accumulate BTC at current levels,” K33 senior analyst Velte Lund said in a recent report. The potential of a spot Bitcoin (BTC) exchange-traded fund (ETF) approval to drive prices up is dramatically underestimated by the crypto market , claim analysts from crypto research firm K33 — formerly Arcane Research.  In a Sept. 5 market report, K33 senior analyst Vetle Lunde and vice president Anders Helseth said the last three months had greatly improved the chances of a spot Bitcoin ETF approval despite the sentiment not being reflected in the price of Bitcoin or other mainstay crypto assets. The analysts explained while Bitcoin had all but given up its gains in the wake of Grayscale’s legal victory over the Securities and Exchange Commission — an approval would “attract enormous inflows” and significantly increase buying pressure for Bitcoin. Bitcoin returned its gains in the wake of Grayscale's victory. Source: K33 Research However, the downside of
