Trump family-backed World Liberty Financial (WLFI) token prices surged 10% in 24 hours and 21.8% over the past week amid internal controversy. The rally follows public statements from company leadership denying rumors of collapse and loss of Trump family support.
The **World Liberty Financial (WLFI)** token, backed by the Trump family, has experienced a significant price rally. According to CoinGecko data, WLFI’s price has rallied 10% in the last 24 hours and 21.8% over the last week.
The project has been engulfed in controversy following a lawsuit filed by TRON (TRX) founder Justin Sun on April 21, 2026. Sun alleged that World Liberty Financial froze his WLFI tokens and barred him from governance rights, claiming his tokens were worth around $1 billion.
World Liberty Financial dismissed the claims, with CEO Zach Witkoff calling the lawsuit “meritless.” The company countersued Sun for defamation, with Witkoff stating that Justin Sun engaged in a defamatory campaign to torch World Liberty Financial’s reputation. He knew his claims were false and made them anyway to harm WLFI token holders.
Further rumors suggested internal struggles and a loss of Trump family support. Witkoff and Donald Trump Jr. denied these claims at Consensus in Miami, with Trump Jr. stating that Narratives get created. They’re driven, and they’re bot-farm based.
Despite the recent rebound, WLFI remains down 3.7% over 14 days and 25.2% over the past month. The broader crypto market shows correction signs, with Bitcoin (BTC) falling below the $80,000 mark.
