Justin Sun confirmed the unlocking of $178 million worth of WLFI tokens, marking one of the largest claims in the project's history. His current holdings stand at $891.2 million.
Unlock Confirmation and Large Holdings
Sun confirmed the unlocking of 20% of his token allocation, resulting in an addition of $178 million to his control. His total holdings in WLFI now amount to $891.2 million. Despite the scale of the unlock, Sun emphasized alignment with the long-term direction of the project, clarifying that liquidation is not under consideration. He also highlighted the key individuals involved in the project, including World Liberty Financial and members of the Trump family.
U.S. Government Data on Blockchains
Meanwhile, the blockchain has gained official recognition from a significant source. The U.S. Department of Commerce published its Q2 2025 GDP report across nine different blockchain networks. With the inclusion of Tron, Sun's network became one of the few selected to participate in the government initiative. The release of economic data on the blockchain marked an important milestone, signaling new public sector frameworks aimed at broader technology adoption.
Token Movements by Presale Participants
Several presale participants in WLFI also made claims and subsequent transfers to exchanges. Address 0xC3e7 unlocked 60 million WLFI valued at $19.2 million, depositing the tokens into Binance. Binance also received 53.33 million tokens valued at $17.1 million from address 0x7ed4, and address 0x3881 did the same for 46.67 million WLFI tokens valued at $14.9 million. These transactions reflect the actions taken by early investors during unlock periods, contrasting sharply with Sun's stance.
The unlocking of a significant amount of WLFI tokens, combined with U.S. government support for blockchains, underscores the importance of current events in the sector. The contrasting actions of market participants highlight the dynamic nature of the situation.
