Study suggests WLFI could act as an ‘early warning signal’ in crypto
Trump-linked WLFI dropped more than five hours before a $6.9 billion crypto liquidation event, raising questions about early market stress signals.
World Liberty Financial Token (WLFI), a DeFi governance token affiliated with the Trump family, may have signaled a major market breakdown hours before Bitcoin moved, according to a new analysis by data provider Amberdata.
The report examines trading activity on Oct. 10, 2025, when roughly $6.93 billion in leveraged crypto positions were liquidated in under an hour. Bitcoin (BTC) fell about 15% and Ether (ETH) dropped roughly 20%, while smaller tokens lost as much as 70%.
