WLFI Rockets 51% From Bottom, Tight Range Signals Next Big Move Ahead
WLFI rebounded 51% from its lows, signaling a notable shift in short-term market structure. The token gained 32.6% in seven days, with strong performance against Bitcoin and Ethereum. Price is consolidating between $0.2046 support and $0.2346 resistance, defining its current trading range. World Liberty Financial (WLFI) has shown a sharp turnaround after weeks of downward movement, staging a rebound of 51% from its recent lows. The recovery has placed the asset back into focus as the market witnessed a stronger shift in momentum. WLFI stands at a new price of $0.208 which is a 32.6% increase over the last 7 days . This shift has placed the token in an even narrower range and has strengthened a major structure of support and resistance that remains in effect in shaping action in the near-term. WLFI Outpaces Market with 32.6% Weekly Surge but Faces Key Range Limits During the past week, WLFI registered a 32.6% rise, outpacing many assets in its segment. Meanwhile, the token was gaining 11.5% on Bitcoin and 11.4% on Ethereum. These relative gains highlight how WLFI strengthened against broader market benchmarks. The $WLFI pump to $1 will melt faces.

I’ll tell you when to sell so make sure you’re following. pic.twitter.com/IFTc9gTtYH According to analyst BinsaeedRashid, WLFI surges toward $1, reversing sentiment as traders shift bullish. Support holds firm, while breakout potential grows amid rising market momentum. Price activity however demonstrates that the rebound continues to be confined within given levels with the support pegged at the $0.2046 and the resistance pegged at the $0.2346.This formation now outlines the short-term framework for traders assessing the next move. WLFI Consolidates After Strong Rally as Market Awaits Direction It is remarkable that the increase of the lowest point of WLFI was a 51% improvement which highlighted an obvious change of direction in the market. After this sudden increase, the token headed to its resistance level and was unable to maintain the breakout. World Liberty Financial $WLFI shows a trend shift after a 51% rebound from the lows! pic.twitter.com/ca8Er6Hsre The following reversal represented a resumption of price close to its zone of $0.215 indicating that the market is still guarded. Still, the rebound has injected renewed interest, with volume activity supporting the recovery and creating opportunities for short-term observation. The asset’s 24-hour range continues to narrow, with WLFI trading between $0.2046 and $0.2346. This range has shaped a consolidation pattern after the earlier surge. Price action suggests that traders are testing both boundaries while awaiting a decisive move. Support continues to stabilize the lower end, while resistance holds firm above. The current setup reflects a market balancing between retaining gains and preparing for further volatility.
Did Tyler Winklevoss Block Brian Quintenz’ Nomination as CFTC Chair?
Key Notes Brian Quintenz is certain that Tyler Winklevoss tried to block his CFTC nomination with Trump. The a16z Policy Expert has shared messages on X to substantiate his claims. Many conflicts of interest issues continued to shape the odds against Brian Quintenz in the bid for CFTC Chair. Brian Quintenz has accused Tyler Winklevoss, co-founder of Gemini exchange, of blocking his nomination as CFTC chairman. He shared this claim on X on September 11, referencing prior communications with the Gemini CEO. Tyler Winklevoss and Brian Quintenz Conversation Takes Wrong Turn Quintenz has reasons to believe that Tyler Winklevoss lobbied President Donald Trump against his nomination as the CFTC Chairman. He shared some private messages, which he claimed were out of character for him to do, between himself and the Gemini executive. “…I’ve posted here the messages that include the questions Tyler Winklevoss asked me pertaining to their prior litigation with the CFTC,” Quintenz wrote on X. I’ve never been inclined to release private messages. But in light of my support for the President and belief that he might have been misled, I’ve posted here the messages that include the questions Tyler Winklevoss asked me pertaining to their prior litigation with the CFTC. I… pic.twitter.com/MN75M1XUpT — Brian Quintenz (@BrianQuintenz) September 10, 2025 Dated July 24, 2025, these screenshots had messages from Tyler sharing a copy of Gemini’s complaint against CFTC filed in June. The Commission had initially filed a lawsuit against the cryptocurrency trading platform. This was for providing false or misleading information to a series of inquiries it made back in 2017. The CFTC claimed that Gemini had misled regulators in an attempt to launch what would have been the industry’s first-ever Bitcoin BTC $114 588 24h volatility: 0.5% Market cap: $2.28 T Vol. 24h: $46.02 B futures contract. In response, Gemini filed a complaint, accusing the CFTC staff of misconduct during the investigation. In the message to Quintenz, Tyler had tried to get his opinion, but the former only provided a neutral answer. It turned out that the Winklevoss brothers were both “disappointed and surprised” by Quintenz’s lack of attention to the Gemini complaint. Based on the content of the screenshot, both entities had agreed to pick up the conversation at a later date. However, there was no evidence to confirm if the conversation ever continued. Based on this, he claims that Tyler Winklevoss contacted Trump, requesting a pause on his confirmation over concerns unrelated to their previous discussion. Brian Quintenz Faces Troubles on Trump CFTC Nomination At the beginning of 2025, President Donald Trump nominated Brian Quintenz, a policy expert at Andreessen Horowitz (a16z) Crypto, to lead the CFTC. This was around the time when he also nominated banking expert Jonathan Gould to lead the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC), and Paul Atkins to head the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). Related article: Justin Sun Claims $200M of Trump's WLFI Token Unlock: 'Not Selling' If confirmed by the Senate, Quintenz would have succeeded Caroline Pham. However, internal emails obtained through a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request suggest that Quintenz may have had access to confidential CFTC information while serving on the board of Kalshi, a prediction market regulated by the agency. Several important figures have commented on the situation, with some calling it poor optics and others questioning potential impropriety. Tyler Winklevoss reportedly told multiple media outlets that the correspondence was concerning, stating that Quintenz is “the wrong person” to chair the commodities regulator. Quintenz’s revelation hints that there may be more behind these public criticisms. next
WLFI Slides Toward $0.16 All-Time Low as Market Pressure Mounts
World Liberty Financial’s WLFI, a token linked to US President Donald Trump, has dropped 7% over the past week, signaling mounting bearish pressure in the market. Data from both spot and derivatives markets suggest waning trader interest, heightening concerns that the token could revisit its all-time low of $0.16. WLFI Bears Tighten Grip An assessment of the WLFI/USD four-hour chart has revealed a steady decline in the token’s Chaikin Money Flow (CMF). This key momentum indicator sits below the zero line at -0.13, and is in a downward trend as of this writing. For token TA and market updates: Want more token insights like this? Sign up for Editor Harsh Notariya’s Daily Crypto Newsletter WLFI CMF. Source: TradingView The CMF indicator measures buying and selling pressure by combining price and volume data. A positive CMF reading signals strong buying activity and accumulation, while a negative value indicates selling pressure and distribution. WLFI’s negative and downward-trending CMF suggests that sellers currently dominate the market. This reflects weak demand and reinforces the risk of a further dip toward its all-time low. Furthermore, its futures open interest has declined steadily, confirming the broader negative sentiment in the market. At press time, it was $802.84 million, plummeting 5% in the past day. WLFI Futures Open Interest. Source: Coinglass Open interest refers to the total number of outstanding futures contracts that have not been settled, serving as a gauge of liquidity and trader participation in the derivatives market. Rising futures open interest reflects growing interest and conviction in a token’s price direction, while a decline indicates traders are closing positions and withdrawing capital. In WLFI’s case, the drop in open interest signals fading confidence, as market participants are exiting trades rather than opening new ones. WLFI Under Pressure — $0.16 or a Rally Above $0.22? With demand showing little improvement, WLFI faces an increasing risk of further losses. If selling continues, the token could revisit its all-time low of $0.16, and charge lower if selloffs strengthen. WLFI Price Analysis.

Eric Trump Removed From Alt5 Sigma Board After Nasdaq Review
The Nasdaq review forced Eric Trump out of the Alt5 Sigma board in the WLFI deal. Alt5 Sigma intends to raise $1.5 billion to buy WLFI tokens from the Trump venture. Experts assert that the rule behind Trump’s removal remains unclear and unexplained. In a surprising turn, Eric Trump has been abruptly removed from Alt5 Sigma’s board after Nasdaq raised governance concerns, casting fresh doubt on the $1.5 billion Trump-linked crypto deal. According to a source, Eric was initially named as a director in August as part of a $1.5 billion transaction involving World Liberty Financial. Yet filings later disclosed that his role was altered and he will be set to serve only as a board observer pending stockholder approval. Eric Trump Removed From Board Role After Firm Consults Nasdaq — Forbes (@Forbes) September 9, 2025 The company’s securities filing stated the change came “after discussion with The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (‘Nasdaq’), and to comply with Nasdaq’s listing rules.” Alt5 Sigma, which is incorporated in Nevada, did not specify the exact rule that blocked Eric’s directorship. Instead, World Liberty Financial’s Chief Operating Officer and co-founder, Zak Folkman, replaced him as a proposed board member. Legal experts noted they could not identify which rule required the change. Nasdaq requires a majority of directors at listed companies to be independent. If Eric did not qualify as independent, it remained unclear why Folkman would. The shift also did not appear linked to Trump’s legal restrictions in New York, since Alt5 Sigma is incorporated elsewhere. The $1.5 Billion Treasury Plan Alt5 Sigma Corporation, trading under ticker ALTS, is a fintech company that offers tokenization, trading, payment, and asset custody solutions powered by blockchain technology. In August, the company unveiled a plan to raise $1.5 billion through a combination of direct and private share sales. The capital would be used to acquire tokens from World Liberty Financial, a crypto startup launched in September 2024 by Donald Trump and his three sons. WLFI tokens were first sold at $0.015 in October 2024 to accredited and foreign investors, followed by a second round at $0.05. The tokens remain non-transferable, restricting their trading outside designated channels. As part of the deal, Alt5 Sigma originally announced that Eric Trump would become a director while Zak Folkman would join as an observer. The Nasdaq consultation reversed that structure, pushing Eric to observer status, while Folkman bagged the director role. Related: Eric Trump Sees Bitcoin at $1M and Calls China a Strong Force Regulatory Questions and Market Scrutiny The reversal drew attention from governance experts, who questioned about consistency and compliance. Moreover, three securities law professors stated that they could not identify a clear Nasdaq rule that applied exclusively to Eric Trump. Observers have warned that Alt5 Sigma’s deal with World Liberty Financial exposes the firm to increased scrutiny. As both companies are closely linked to the Trump family, regulators and investors remain alert for possible conflicts of interest. Transactions where affiliates appear on both sides could raise concerns about valuation practices and market manipulation. The plan’s supporters suggest that if the $1.5 billion treasury strategy works, WLFI might achieve institutional visibility and investor trust, following its public listing via Alt5 Sigma. It might therefore provide indirect regulated exposure for investors to the Trump-linked token. Governance Rules and Tokens Strategy at a Crossroads Nasdaq’s listing standards are designed to protect investors by providing board independence, transparency in governance, and robust compliance from listed companies. In the case of Alt5 Sigma, the removal of Eric Trump reflects how these requirements extend beyond technicalities and serve as safeguards against conflicts of interest that could reduce or further undermine the shareholders’ trust. If WLFI can successfully navigate Nasdaq’s rules, it could establish a precedent for how politically connected crypto projects structure token adoption through public market vehicles. Still, any failure to adapt may leave its long-term token strategy vulnerable to both regulatory pushback and investor skepticism.

Trump-affiliated DeFi project WLFI bans Justin Sun's wallet: $90 million transfer sparks centralization concerns
Recently, the decentralized finance project World Liberty Financial (WLFI), supported by the Trump camp, has sparked major controversy: After a WLFI transfer worth $9 million, Justin Sun's wallet was directly blacklisted by the project team, and all his 595 million WLFI tokens (about $75 million investment) were frozen. Event Review As one of WLFI's largest investors, Justin Sun was originally seen as a representative of the project's long-term strategic capital; However, on-chain data shows that he once transferred 50 million WLFI tokens into an exchange wallet; Soon after, the WLFI smart contract activated the blacklist function, completely freezing all of Sun's tokens. The project team explained that this move was to prevent "suspicious dumping behavior" and emphasized that 272 wallets had already been frozen for similar reasons. However, the freezing of the largest investor has led the community to question the real motives behind the action. Justin Sun's Response Justin Sun strongly opposed this freezing decision, stating: He had no intention of cashing out, and the related transfer was merely an internal test; He had previously promised not to sell WLFI early, and even planned to invest an additional $10 million; In his public statement, he wrote: "Tokens are sacred and inviolable; this should be the fundamental value of blockchain." Market and Community Reaction The market immediately fell into turmoil: WLFI's price dropped from above $0.30 to $0.18, with daily trading volume surging; In the short term, due to the freezing of Sun's 595 million tokens, the market's circulating supply decreased, and the price once rebounded by about 8%; However, the question "If Sun's wallet can be frozen, then anyone's can" quickly spread, severely undermining investor confidence. Deeper Issues WLFI was originally designed to be a symbol of "free finance," serving as a decentralized alternative to traditional Wall Street. However, this incident exposed that: The smart contract is still controlled by a centralized team, and key permissions can arbitrarily freeze funds; The so-called "DeFi decentralization" may, in reality, have the same control issues as traditional financial institutions; The handling of Justin Sun instead reveals the fragility of DeFi project governance and trust mechanisms. Conclusion The conflict between Justin Sun and WLFI is not just a dispute between an individual and a project team, but a clash between DeFi ideals and centralized power. In the short term, WLFI has gained huge trading volume due to the high-profile incident, but price volatility and a crisis of trust are inevitable; In the medium term, Justin Sun's reputation is once again under pressure. Although the TRON ecosystem was not directly affected, the concern that "if even Sun can be frozen, small investors have even less protection" will continue to ferment; In the long term, WLFI's survival depends on whether it can prove itself to be a true free finance experiment, rather than just another "DeFi project with a centralized key." This incident serves as a wake-up call for the entire industry: if decentralized protocols still retain back-end permissions to arbitrarily freeze assets, then so-called "free finance" may just be an illusion.
Falcon Finance Announced $FF and Community Sale on Buidlpad
September 10th, 2025 – Dubai, UAE Falcon Finance announces its Community Event on Buidlpad, a compliant community-first fair token access platform that connects protocols with real communities globally. Falcon Finance is pioneering the first universal collateralization infrastructure, designed to unlock liquidity from any crypto asset. From BTC, ETH, SOL, stablecoins, and select altcoins to tokenized RWAs such as Treasuries, Falcon transforms them into USD-pegged liquidity that seamlessly connects TradFi and DeFi. Falcon is innovating a highly scalable infrastructure that redefines how collateral, liquidity, and asset ownership interact across financial domains. Falcon Finance has been gaining strong momentum with its USDf supply reaching $1.5 billion while its total reserves surpassed $1.6 billion. This marks the next phase of Falcon’s explosive growth and will distribute its $FF token to participants. Buidlpad has a proven track record of connecting tier-1 protocols with real users, with over $220 million committed by more than 40,000 verified users in three recent campaigns in 2025. Falcon is excited to build on this momentum. Andrei Grachev, Managing Partner of Falcon Finance commented, “The launch of $FF through Buidlpad is an important milestone in Falcon’s journey to make universal collateralization accessible to everyone. We’ve built one of the fastest-growing digital dollar ecosystems, with USDf supply already surpassing $1.5 billion, but what excites us most is opening this next phase to our community. By working with Buidlpad, we’re ensuring that real users, and not just institutions, can also share in Falcon’s growth. This is more than a token launch; it’s a chance for people to participate directly in building the collateral infrastructure that will power trillions in tokenized assets and shape the future of global finance.” Falcon previously received a $10 million strategic investment from World Liberty Financial (WLFI). Now, through Buidlpad, it is extending this opportunity to the wider community. “Falcon’s USDf is one of the fastest-growing digital dollar solutions in the space, redefining on-chain capital efficiency which is a constant demand on the market from both retail and institutional users. Its innovation to universal collateralization opens the door to bridging TradFi and DeFi liquidity. We look forward to working with the Falcon team to offer our users this great opportunity. By bringing Falcon and real communities together, we invite our users to participate in this digital dollar revolution.” said Erick Zhang (@ErickNomad), managing partner of Nomad Capital and founder of Buidlpad. About $FF $FF is the native token that captures the growth of Falcon Finance, the first universal collateralization infrastructure. As more assets are deposited and USDf adoption expands, $FF becomes the core asset tied to the protocol’s scale and success. Holding $FF gives users access to protocol utility and features, but more importantly, it positions them to benefit directly as Falcon’s ecosystem grows. With $1.5 billion in USDf already issued and reserves continuing to climb, the foundation is set for expansion across DeFi and TradFi. Falcon is building the collateral infrastructure to support trillions in tokenized assets. $FF is the way to get exposure to that future.

Bitcoin Inches Higher, Ethereum Slips, as Token Unlocks Dominate Market Sentiment
Crypto markets remain flat with a September Fed rate cut fully priced in by investors. Aptos faces fresh pressure with a $48.5M insider-heavy unlock set to hit the market. WLFI tumbled nearly 10% after a surprise 25% supply release shocked early investors. Crypto markets showed little movement last week, with a September Federal Reserve rate cut now fully priced in. According to crypto analyst Stacy Muur, Bitcoin gained modestly, Ethereum slipped, and decentralized AI tokens recorded a minor pullback, citing data from Tokenomist. Notably, Bitcoin is trading at $113,579, a 0.7% rise in the past day, increasing its weekly uptick to 2.2%. Ethereum has seen a similar run in the past day, trading at $4,366, reducing its fortnight loss to 5.4%. Aptos Unlock of $48.5 Million Tokens Raises Insider Pressure Unlock schedules dominated trading discussions. Aptos (APT) is set for a $48.5 million release in the coming days, representing 2.2% of its supply. The allocation is insider-heavy, raising concerns that the added supply could lead to persistent selling pressure. Related: Over $45M in Insider Token Unlocks Set to Hit Market Sept. 8–14 Coin Edition earlier reported that Aptos unlocked 11.31 million tokens ($45.24 million) in July, representing 1.76% of its circulating supply, to the market. The release followed unlocks in May and June worth $65 million and $53 million to $59 million, respectively. These selling pressures have resulted in Aptos trading at a 10% loss over the past eight weeks, currently trading at $4.45. The past month hasn’t been bullish for the token despite a 3.1% uptick in the past week. BounceBit Adds 6.3% Supply While Price Holds Gains Similarly, BounceBit (BB) also faces a large release, with 6.3% of supply entering circulation. Notably, the token now trades at $0.1438, representing a minor 0.5% increase in the past day, though its weekly performance reads a 3.5% gain. Ethena Defies Unlock Expectations Ethena (ENA) presented a different outcome. Despite hosting the largest unlock by value during the week, ENA’s price climbed 14%. Market data indicates insiders did not sell significant portions of their holdings, allowing the token to defy typical unlock-driven pressure. As a result, ENA is trading at $0.8191, a 1.4% rise in the past day WLFI Drops Nearly 10% After Surprise 25% Supply Release While ENA defied the odds, a new token launch added to market volatility. WLFI attracted strong interest ahead of its listing, but investors were unsettled by a surprise 25% supply unlock. Traders had expected only 4% to 5%. The larger-than-expected release led to immediate selling pressure, muting early optimism around the project. This pressure has now seen the token trading at a loss of 9.8% just after a week of launch. It now trades at $0.2075, a 1.4% loss in the past day. Macro Conditions Stable as Unlocks Drive Short-Term Sentiment Beyond token-specific events, Stacy Muur noted that the broader market conditions stayed steady. With interest rate cuts already factored into market pricing, she noted that the attention has shifted toward supply unlocks as a more immediate risk. For now, rate policy has taken a back seat to token schedules in shaping short-term sentiment. Related: WLFI Price Prediction: Can Governance Clarity Unlock $0.2100 Rally?

Eric Trump removed from ALT5 Sigma board following Nasdaq rule compliance requirements
Eric Trump was removed from ALT5 Sigma Corporation’s board of directors due to Nasdaq listing rule requirements, according to a filing disclosed on Sept. 9. The August filing stated that “to comply with Nasdaq’s listing rules,” the company restructured its board composition, but did not specify which particular rule triggered Eric Trump’s removal. Trump now serves as a board observer. Zachary Folkman was also moved from director to observer status, but the ALT5 Sigma board later approved Folkman’s nomination as a new director. The company noted that both appointments are pending and remain subject to “the approval of the Company’s stockholders.” Zachary Witkoff, co-founder and CEO of World Liberty Financial, retained his position as chairman of the board of directors. Deal prompts changes The board changes stem from ALT5 Sigma’s $1.5 billion financing deal with World Liberty Financial, completed in August. Through this arrangement, World Liberty Financial gained the right to nominate two directors and received certain observation privileges. ALT5 Sigma implemented what it calls a “WLFI Treasury Strategy,” acquiring approximately 7.5% of World Liberty Financial’s WLFI token supply. The partnership transformed ALT5 from a small payments company into a crypto treasury vehicle specifically designed to support the Trump-backed project. WLFI serves as the governance token for World Liberty Financial, although the venture does not have a clear product or service as of press time. The token began trading on Sept. 1 following private fundraising rounds that valued it at $0.20 per unit. The corporate restructuring coincides with ALT5 Sigma facing multiple challenges. The company appointed a special committee to review undisclosed matters, including potential misstatements in its financial statements. Additionally, ALT5 Sigma’s Rwandan subsidiary faces criminal liability findings for money laundering, with approximately $3.5 million in frozen funds. Despite the governance changes, the filing confirms ALT5 Sigma’s continued alignment with World Liberty Financial, maintaining the strategic partnership that connects the publicly-traded company to the Trump family’s crypto venture.

XRP Price Analysis Predicts Explosive Surge, WLFI News Highlights Supply Shock, While BlockDAG’s $400M Presale Outshines All Rivals
The crypto market is buzzing with three very different stories that capture attention. On one end, XRP price analysis shows the coin forming a symmetrical triangle that resembles its 2017 breakout pattern. Meanwhile, WLFI news has sent shockwaves as World Liberty Financial froze $2.4 billion worth of founder Justin Sun’s tokens after a $9 million transfer, sparking a swift rebound that highlights how token supply freezes can dramatically shift market dynamics. Yet, the clearest case among top crypto assets belongs to BlockDAG . With $400M raised, 26B coins sold, and over 19K miners shipped, BlockDAG has already proven adoption. Stage 1 buyers at $0.001 are seeing multiples, while today’s $0.0013 price still leaves a staggering 76,815% ROI potential. Analyst Flags Imminent XRP Pump; Is a Breakthrough Here? A chart-savvy analyst, Amonyx, is turning heads with a bold declaration that an XRP pump is upcoming. The claim is rooted in a chart overlay that mirrors XRP’s 2017 breakout structure, suggesting a similar parabolic rise may be unfolding now. The present formation, a tightening symmetrical triangle, has technical analysts watching closely. The pattern hints that XRP is breaking out of years of consolidation, setting the stage for a potentially explosive move. For investors wondering what crypto to invest in, the setup offers clarity, a defined pattern with an entry point and upside potential. If XRP breaches its resistance line cleanly, momentum could catch fire. That setup, bolstered by compelling visuals and historical parallels, makes this a standout opportunity worth tracking. World Liberty Freezes $2.4 Billion in WLFI A Trump-backed DeFi project, World Liberty Financial (WLFI), recently blacklisted founder Justin Sun’s wallet, freezing about 540 million unlocked tokens and 2.4 billion locked tokens following a $9 million transfer to exchanges. The move reversed a steep price drop, triggering a swift rebound as the market responded to tightened supply. Sun insists these transfers were routine internal tests, not an attempt to sell, and criticized the freeze as contrary to basic blockchain principles. This episode reveals how token freezes and supply constraints can quickly impact valuation dynamics. If scrutiny fails to erode confidence, WLFI may recover further. For those deciding what crypto to invest in, it shows that structural shifts can create short-term opportunities. A rebound backed by real supply mechanics may offer a rare low-risk entry window. BlockDAG Credibility Written in Delivery, Not Decks BlockDAG is not asking investors to buy into promises; it is showing delivery at scale. Where most presales survive on whitepapers and concepts, BlockDAG has already shipped over 19,000 miners worldwide, with another 13,000 queued for dispatch. More than 3 million people are already mining through the X1 mobile app, building an active ecosystem before exchange listing even arrives. This level of adoption demonstrates that BlockDAG is not a theory; it is already a functioning network in motion. The numbers tell a powerful story. Over $400 million has been raised, 26 billion coins have been sold, and more than 312,000 holders have committed capital. These are not speculative signals; they are proof that BlockDAG has converted credibility into delivery. Stage 1 participants who bought at $0.001 have already secured life-changing multiples, and today’s $0.0013 Deployment Event price still leaves immense upside toward the projected $1 valuation, which equals a 76,815% ROI. For investors wondering if this is the best time to act, the logic is straightforward: every miner shipped, every coin sold, and every new app user narrows the window to buy at these levels. BlockDAG is selling an entry into a system that already works, and scarcity ensures today’s entry point may never return. BlockDAG Defines Conviction Among Top Crypto Assets Each story illustrates a different angle of today’s market. The XRP price analysis points toward an imminent breakout, but traders need confirmation above resistance before momentum accelerates. The WLFI news highlights how freezes and blacklists can suddenly reshape token valuations, creating rebounds that few anticipate. Yet BlockDAG is different. With 312,000 holders, 3 million mobile miners, and whales committing $4.4 million buys, BlockDAG is a functioning ecosystem. At today’s $0.0013 Deployment Event price, the upside to $1 equals 76,815%, while Stage 1’s $0.001 entrants already show life-changing returns. For anyone scanning top crypto assets, the numbers are clear. XRP offers potential, WLFI shows volatility, but BlockDAG offers proven adoption and predictable upside, making it the strongest option today.
Eric Trump will have reduced board role at WLFI treasury company Alt5 Sigma
Alt5 Sigma, the Trump Organization-backed crypto treasury company, has reportedly reduced Eric Trump's role in the organization. When the effort was first announced in August , the second-eldest Trump son was named as a board member. Now, according to a U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission document dated Aug. 25, Eric Trump is only joining as a board observer. Zak Folkman, COO and fellow co-founder of World Liberty Financial, another Trump-connected crypto project, who was also initially named a board member, is now also an observer. Folkman, subject to stakeholder approval, may be named director. Zachary Witkoff, son of close Trump associate and U.S. special envoy to the Middle East Steve Witkoff, has reportedly accepted his appointment as Chairman of the Board as "the initial nominee to the Board selected by WLF," according to the SEC filing. Forbes was first to report the news. In August, Alt5 Sigma said it looked to raise $1.5 billion through equity sales to build up a treasury reserve of WLFI tokens, the governance token for World Liberty Financial, a DeFi and stablecoin effort that names President Donald Trump and his three sons as advisors. Eric Trump, alongside Donald Trump Jr. and other World Liberty Financial executives, rang the Nasdaq opening bell on Aug. 13 shortly after announcing the treasury play. A Trump-affiliated LLC owns around 38% of World Liberty Financial and is entitled to about 75% of the proceeds from token sales. Reportedly, Eric Trump and Folkman’s revised role comes after a conversation with Nasdaq regarding listing requirements — though no specific rule was cited in the filing. Like other crypto treasury companies, Alt5 is looking to go public, providing indirect exposure to its WLFI balance sheet holdings. To be sure, board observers still carry weight as non-voting participants in board meetings. Alt5 has already acquired around 7.3 billion WLFI tokens at $0.18 each — meaning it holds about $1.3 billion worth of tokens. WLFI, which became transferable following a token holder vote in July, is currently trading around $0.19, up from the two $0.015 and $0.05 tranches in which they were initially sold.
As ‘Bowie Bonds’ go mainstream, can crypto apply the tokenized IP rights model?
Both mainstream and crypto markets have played with the model of ‘Bowie Bonds’, a financial instrument tapping the value of IP rights. Crypto projects are re-emerging with the goal of tokenized IP rights, aiming to make payments and monetization seamless. Demand for yield has brought back ‘Bowie Bonds’, as funds raised $6.7B backed by the IP of top songs. Previously, Bowie Bonds only tapped the revenue streams from the albums and performances of David Bowie. Now, the concept is spreading to a wider pool of intellectual property. The new wave of IP bonds was backed by Blackstone, Carlyle and Michigan’s state pension fund, reported the FT. IP rights bonds expanded in 2025 The latest rounds of IP rights products show a trend of acceleration for the last few years. Music-backed bonds raised an estimated $4.4B to $6.7B, compared to $3.3B in 2025. The music-backed bonds started returning in 2021, with a tentative $300M in new deals. In 2020, there were virtually no music-backed bonds. The asset class has been known as an exotic and niche investment, but has made a return as markets are redefining the lines of investable assets in search of yield. The field has expanded beyond Bowie’s 1997 deal, which raised $55M at 7.9% annualized. Since then, the model has been taken over by some of the biggest players, issuing financial instruments for stars such as The Beatles, or newer generations of artists like Justin Bieber and Lady Gaga. See also Justin Sun moved WLFI, is he planning to sell? The bond market is also a way for companies that hold large IP catalogues to tap the value of those assets through bond issues. In the summer of 2025, Recognition Music Group raised $372M for its IP catalogue. Concord financialized a part of its music catalogue in 2022, raising $1.8M. As significant liquidity in the global markets seeks out assets, the music bond model is a potential source of growth. The music bonds are already getting rated by the leading agencies, offering a clearer estimation of risk and a shift to mainstream markets. Crypto projects attempt tokenized IP rights The same problem of artist liquidity has been solved in several crypto startups, though at a smaller scale. The Web3 boom led to multiple attempts to tokenize music rights, coinciding with the NFTs boom. There is no common standard on music tokenization, and the niche nature of those projects meant not all were successful. IP tokenization has been around in crypto space, led by Story Protocol. Recently, the revival of IP rights narratives brought Story Protocol (IP) to a new all-time high. Story Protocol (IP) rallied to a new all-time peak as the IP rights narrative revived. | Source: CoinGecko . Some of the projects tried to tokenize small-scale creators. The biggest setback for crypto projects is that they lack access to large IP portfolios from established artists. See also Trump exempts gold, graphite, tungsten and uranium from tariffs, hits silicone products instead Despite this, the crypto space has shown it can also carry tokenized versions of mainstream bonds. The new type of asset may be added to the general growth of RWA tokenization , which now focuses mostly on money markets. For now, a new batch of startups has emerged to attempt IP tokenization once again. Recently, the Aria project raised $15M to tokenize IP rights, allowing all holders to acquire fractions of songs and royalties, similar to Bowie Bonds. Another project, Rialo , has attempted tokenization, but has not managed to solve the issue of delayed payments. While on-chain interactions can be instant, not all Web3 projects achieve immediate value transfers, and still require intermediaries. As asset markets try to absorb increasing liquidity, music bonds both in mainstream venues and in crypto are making a return. However, available liquidity and access for investors may vary, and new crypto startups may hold additional risks. Don’t just read crypto news. Understand it. Subscribe to our newsletter. It's free .
WLFI Price Eyes Rebound as Whales Continue Aggressive Accumulation
World Liberty Financial (WLFI) trades near $0.21 at press time, down nearly 12% in the past 24 hours. From its launch peak of $0.33 on September 1, the WLFI price has now corrected by roughly 37%. At first glance, this may appear to be a token under pressure. However, on-chain data and liquidation maps reveal a more nuanced story. Whales continue to add heavily, and while short bets dominate derivatives markets, the final liquidation clusters show a key level where WLFI could bounce back. Whale Buying Stays, But Dip Buying Slows Down Even during WLFI’s sharp decline, whale wallets have expanded their holdings. Over the past 24 hours, whale balances jumped 43.42%, rising from 79.01 million WLFI to 113.31 million WLFI. This means whales added about 34.30 million tokens, worth nearly $7.2 million at current WLFI prices. WLFI Whales Remain Interested: WLFI Whales Remain Interested: The buying explains why the Chaikin Money Flow (CMF) — a measure of whether money is broadly flowing in or out of a token — still reads strongly positive near +0.17. Want more token insights like this? Sign up for Editor Harsh Notariya’s Daily Crypto Newsletter here. WLFI Inflows Intact: WLFI Inflows Intact: In simple terms, as long as CMF is above zero, it shows that large investors are still sending money into WLFI. At the same time, the Money Flow Index (MFI) — which compares trading volume with price to show whether dips are being bought or sold — has been sliding lower on the 2-hour chart. WLFI Dip Buying Takes A Hit: WLFI Dip Buying Takes A Hit: The drop signals that smaller traders are not buying dips. Instead, whales appear to be buying at almost any level, which keeps the broader inflows alive but reduces short-term rebound strength. Liquidation Map Points To A Key Support Most of the long positions have already been wiped out in the recent drop. Only about $4 million in long liquidations remain, while short positions stack up to more than $30 million. The imbalance means the market is leaning heavily short. WLFI Liquidation Map: WLFI Liquidation Map: The last major liquidation cluster for longs is at $0.18, which now serves as a crucial support zone. This level is made more important because it aligns with support already visible on the price chart. Together, these data points suggest that if WLFI drops to $0.18, buyers may step in strongly and spark a rebound. And that rebound might have strength considering the stacked short liquidations. This sets the stage for how the WLFI price structure itself looks right now. WLFI Price Action Holds The Rebound Zone WLFI now trades just above $0.20, a level tested as short-term support, per the 2-hour chart. If the token holds this base, momentum from whale buying could lift it back toward $0.22, the next key resistance. Crossing $0.22 might prime the WLFI price for $0.24 and beyond. WLFI Price Analysis: WLFI Price Analysis: The alignment of the $0.18 liquidation cluster with chart-based support reinforces why this is seen as the rebound zone. If WLFI holds $0.20 and avoids breaking $0.18, the setup favors a bounce. But if it fails these levels, the bearish trend could extend further.
Bitcoin whales dump 115,000 BTC in biggest sell-off since mid-2022
Bitcoin whales have sold a whopping $12.7 billion in Bitcoin over the past month, and continued sales could further pressure its price for the next few weeks, according to analysts. “The trend of reducing exposure by major Bitcoin network players continues to intensify, reaching the largest coin distribution this year,” observed CryptoQuant analyst “caueconomy” on Friday. They added that in the last 30 days, whale reserves have fallen by more than 100,000 Bitcoin ( BTC ), “signaling intense risk aversion among large investors.” This selling pressure has been “penalizing the price structure in the short term,” ultimately pushing prices below $108,000. According to CryptoQuant data, it has been the largest whale sell-off since July 2022, with a 30-day change of 114,920 BTC worth around $12.7 billion at current market prices as of Saturday. “At this time, we are still seeing these reductions in the portfolios of major players, which may continue to pressure Bitcoin in the coming weeks,” they said. Bitcoin whales have been offloading. Source: CryptoQuant Whale balance change slows down The seven-day daily change balance reached its highest level since March 2021 on Sept. 3, with more than 95,000 BTC being shifted by whales for that week. Last week, Bitcoin entrepreneur David Bailey said prices could surge to $150,000 if two key whales stop selling. Related: Bitcoin will soar to $150K if we slay these 2 whales: David Bailey The good news is that the aggressive selling appears to have slowed, with the weekly balance change dropping to around 38,000 BTC as of Sept. 6. Meanwhile, the asset has been trading in a tight range-bound channel between $110,000 and $111,000 over the past three days as the selling pressure abated slightly. CryptoQuant defines whales as a cohort holding a balance between 1,000 and 10,000 BTC. A structural counterbalance “While recent whale sell-offs have triggered short-term volatility and liquidations, institutional accumulation adding more BTC during the same period has provided a structural counterbalance,” Nick Ruck, director at LVRG Research, told Cointelegraph. He added that this divergence suggests whale activity may cap near-term price momentum, but the market’s underlying resilience remains intact due to corporate buying and ETF-driven demand . “Traders should monitor whether institutional dip-buying outweighs whale-driven pressure, though macroeconomic catalysts like the Fed’s September rate decision could ultimately dictate broader direction.” Zooming out looks healthier The longer-term picture also looks much healthier, and Bitcoin has only corrected 13% from its mid-August all-time high, which is much shallower than previous pullbacks. “A year ago today, the one-year moving average sat at $52,000, and it now sits at $94,000, observed analyst “Dave the wave” on Sunday. “Next month, it will be through $100,000,” he added.

Following the listing of World Liberty Financial's WLFI token, there was a significant price swing, and public opinion quickly pointed fingers at TRON's founder Justin Sun. However, the latest on-chain data analysis and authoritative views indicate that this attribution is overly simplistic. 2.《The Next Battle of Stablecoins: Giants' Clash in the Stablecoin Network》 In the second half of 2025, the stablecoin industry entered a new phase. Over the past few years, companies like Tether and Circle have been key players in the stablecoin space, but their identities have always remained as issuers. The design and operation of the underlying network have been entrusted to public blockchains such as Ethereum, Tron, and Solana. While the scale of stablecoin issuance has been increasing, users have always had to rely on others' systems to conduct transactions. In recent months, this situation has started to change. Circle introduced Arc, Tether almost simultaneously released Plasma and Stable, and Stripe partnered with Paradigm to launch Tempo. Three stablecoin public chains focused on payments and settlement have emerged, indicating that issuers are no longer satisfied with just issuing coins; they want to control the network itself.

Trump family's wealth grew by $1.3B following ABTC and WLFI debuts: Report
The family of United States president Donald Trump grew their collective wealth by $1.3 billion this week amid the trading debut of mining company American Bitcoin (ABTC), and gains from World Liberty Financial (WLFI), a decentralized finance (DeFi) protocol linked to the Trump family. World Liberty Financial has added $670 million to the Trump family’s net worth, and Eric Trump’s stake in ABTC, which he co-founded, was valued at over $500 million following the trading debut of ABTC on Wednesday, according to Bloomberg. The calculation measured the family’s net worth using market prices on Wednesday when shares of ABTC shot up to a high of $14 before collapsing by over 50% to a low of 6.24.

WLFI Freezes Investor Tokens, Raising Compliance Concerns
WLFI blocks token withdrawals citing high risk Crypto compliance tools spark controversy WLFI faces criticism for alleged political use of the project The cryptocurrency project World Liberty Financial (WLFI), linked to US President Donald Trump, has returned to the spotlight after reports of investors' tokens being blocked. One case that drew attention was that of Bruno Skvorc, a Croatian developer with a background in Ethereum 2.0 and founder of RMRK, who claimed to have his wallet frozen by WLFI's compliance team. Skvorc explained that his wallet was accepted for token deposits, but later deemed "too risky" for withdrawals. He shared conversations with the WLFI team in which his request was denied, despite having no direct history of rule violations. The developer described the behavior as a "mafia model," saying that complaints have no effect against the project, allegedly shielded by political connections. According to him, at least five other investors face a similar situation. I just got a reply from @worldlibertyfi . TLDR is, they stole my money, and because it's the @POTUS family, I can't do anything about it. This is the new age mafia. There is no one to complain to, no one to argue with, no one to sue. It just… is. @zachxbt THIS is the scam of… pic.twitter.com/m6NP9VmHfd — Bruno Skvorc (@bitfalls) September 6, 2025 The situation has raised criticism of the use of automated screening tools adopted by many crypto projects. Analyst ZachXBT commented that these systems often classify portfolios as "high risk" for trivial actions, such as using DeFi apps or interacting with exchanges that later faced sanctions. In Skvorc's case, the alerts included old transactions involving Tornado Cash, as well as possible indirect links to sanctioned platforms like Garantex and Netex24. While no violations were direct, these indications were enough for WLFI to freeze his tokens with no release date set. This episode is not isolated. WLFI had already faced criticism after a sharp 40% drop in the token's price, which caused significant losses to large investors, even after the burning of 47 million tokens in an attempt to sustain the asset's value. The new controversy reignites the debate over how certain cryptocurrency projects manage their relationships with investors, especially when political figures are involved. Skvorc believes the lack of transparent oversight can leave developers and users vulnerable, with no recourse to recover their assets.
