WLFI traders are eyeing heavy volatility as billions in tokens unlock, with pre-market activity already pushing volumes into the billions.

The native token of World Liberty Financial (WLFI) is scheduled for a massive unlock at 8 a.m. ET as 20% of the tokens purchased by presale investors will become claimable through a Lockbox system.
Blockchain data also shows that WLFI’s main multisig wallet transferred 17.6 billion tokens to the Lockbox contract address.
Ahead of the unlock, derivatives traders rushed to buy pre-market contracts for WLFI, sending volume up 563% to $3.54 billion across exchanges.

If WLFI’s pre-market price of $0.30 holds after launch, the project would be valued at over $30 billion, making it one of the most valuable in terms of fully-diluted value.
“WLFI has loads of cash to pump up their own prices. They raised $700M+ in presales, plus $1.5B from a damn Nasdaq listed company, forming a treasury company,” noted WeRate founder Quinten Francois on X.
“Only with a fraction of that money the price will easily hit $1. Even without it.”
