Джастин Сан и блокировка кошелька: скандал вокруг WLFI набирает обороты Translation: Headline: Justin Sun and Wallet Blocking: The WLFI Scandal Gains Momentum

The DeFi initiative linked to the Trump family, World Liberty Financial (WLFI), has blocked the address of TRON founder Justin Sun. This action followed the transfer of 50 million WLFI tokens to the HTX exchange.

On-chain data indicates that the blocking occurred immediately after a $9 million transaction.

This has sparked speculation that WLFI is preventing large holders from selling tokens, putting pressure on the price during the initial trading week.

Sun addressed the situation on X, stating he was conducting «routine deposit tests» with small amounts of WLFI. He clarified that these actions were unrelated to buying or selling and would not impact the market.

Previously, Sun, who participated in the WLFI presale, claimed he «would not sell the unlocked tokens anytime soon.» He emphasized a long-term vision for the project.

Trading for WLFI commenced on September 1. After an increase to $0.32, the token’s price fell below $0.18. To stabilize the value, the project has burned 47 million tokens and proposed a buyback program funded by protocol fees. The total issuance of WLFI stands at 100 billion.

Company representatives reported that they had blacklisted compromised wallets to protect user funds.

According to WLFI, a designated wallet executed transactions for a «mass blacklisting» and disabled compromised accounts. The team underscored that the incidents were caused by users losing their private keys.

It is worth noting that on September 1, SlowMist founder Yu Xian reported that hackers were exploiting a vulnerability in an Ethereum update to steal WLFI. Analysts from Bubblemaps identified «complex clones»—smart contracts mimicking the project.
