TLDR
- Justin Sun’s frozen WLFI holdings lost over $11 million in 24 hours.
- WLFI price dropped 15% daily and over 74% since its launch.
- World Liberty Financial blacklisted Sun’s wallet, freezing his tokens.
- The project used WLFI as collateral to borrow stablecoins on Dolomite.
- World Liberty denied liquidation risks and called concerns “FUD.”
Justin Sun recorded a fresh loss as WLFI price dropped sharply within 24 hours. His frozen token holdings declined by over $11 million in value. Meanwhile, World Liberty Financial rejected concerns tied to its borrowing activity.
The decline followed a 15% daily drop in WLFI’s market price. The token has also fallen more than 74% since its trading debut last year. Sun’s locked position remains inaccessible after earlier blacklist actions.
Justin Sun Holdings Decline as WLFI Price Weakens
Justin Sun’s exposure to WLFI decreased as market prices continued to fall. His frozen holdings lost value and now stand near $45 million.
Blockchain data shows he holds about 545 million WLFI tokens. However, the tokens remain frozen due to earlier restrictions placed by the issuing project.
Sun initially invested $30 million in late 2024 before trading began. He later increased exposure, bringing his total WLFI position near $75 million.
At the same time, he committed $100 million to Donald Trump’s TRUMP memecoin. These combined moves expanded his footprint across politically linked crypto assets.
However, World Liberty Financial blacklisted a wallet tied to Sun last year. The action followed a transfer of roughly $9 million in WLFI tokens.
As a result, Sun cannot move or sell the frozen tokens. This restriction limits his ability to respond to market changes.
Recent estimates show his holdings have dropped over $80 million from earlier valuations. The decline reflects ongoing price pressure on WLFI.
Borrowing Activity Draws Scrutiny as Project Responds
World Liberty Financial increased activity on the Dolomite lending protocol. The project deposited billions of WLFI tokens as collateral.
In return, it borrowed tens of millions in stablecoins. This move triggered concern among market observers about potential risks.
Critics warned that falling WLFI prices could create bad debt exposure. They pointed to the scale of collateral relative to borrowed funds.
Concerns also arose due to internal connections within the project. Dolomite co-founder Corey Caplan serves as an advisor to World Liberty Financial.
However, the project dismissed these concerns in public statements. It described the claims as “FUD” and rejected liquidation risks.
The team stated, “We are nowhere near liquidation.” It added that it could supply more collateral if markets moved sharply.
World Liberty Financial said it acts as an “anchor borrower” on Dolomite. It argued that this role helps generate higher yields for users.
The project also maintained confidence in WLFI despite the price decline. It continued to defend its lending strategy in public posts.
