WLFI $150 million liquidity claim debunked as fake
Fake WLFI liquidity exposed; analysts urge caution
Reports of a $150 million injection of WLFI tokens into liquidity pools have been officially debunked, according to recent blockchain analysis.
Amid growing interest in WLFI and its political ties, misinformation has quickly spread—prompting analysts to issue warnings and clarify the facts behind the viral claims, Beincrypto reported.
Key takeaways
- Fake WLFI tokens sparked false liquidity rumors: A viral screenshot claimed 150 million WLFI were added to liquidity pools, but blockchain analysis confirmed these were counterfeit tokens mimicking WLFI’s contract.
- Official WLFI contract remains unchanged: The legitimate contract address (0xdA5e1988097297dCdc1f90D4dFE7909e847CBeF6) has not been altered. Real WLFI tokens are still non-transferable pending a community vote.
- WLFI continues drawing attention: Despite the hoax, WLFI remains in the spotlight due to its Trump family ties and a 56% market-implied probability of launching with a $13B FDV on Polymarket.
Liquidity claims proven untrue
Politics meets DeFi — a risky mix: Trump’s recent reduction in ownership stake (from 60% to 40%) raises strategic questions as the project inches toward token transferability. The rumors, which gained traction over the weekend following a viral screenshot on X, claimed that a massive amount of WLFI tokens had been added to decentralized liquidity pools. However, analysts confirmed the tokens involved were fake WLFI tokens, with zero genuine WLFI tokens transferred,

According to on-chain data, the misleading liquidity display was the result of a scam tactic in which counterfeit tokens mimicked WLFI’s contract details to falsely appear as legitimate entries in liquidity pool interfaces. The official WLFI contract address—0xdA5e1988097297dCdc1f90D4dFE7909e847CBeF6—remains unaltered, and real WLFI tokens continue to be non-transferable, pending the outcome of a community vote to enable transfers.
Analysts urge caution as WLFI attracts growing interest
Crypto analyst Ai, who helped expose the scam, emphasized the need for investors to verify any information related to WLFI directly from official sources. “Friends, don’t rush to take action, and beware of scams,” Ai advised, highlighting the prevalence of fraudulent tactics targeting newly launched or politically affiliated tokens.
Despite the hoax, WLFI remains in the spotlight, fueled in part by its association with the Trump family. Notably, Donald Trump’s company recently reduced its stake in World Liberty Financial from 60% to 40%, raising questions about the project’s future strategy. WLFI also gained traction on Polymarket, where traders currently assign it a 56% probability of launching with a $13 billion fully diluted valuation (FDV).
Interestingly, WLFI's X page also states: WLFI: "Promises made, promises kept".

Conclusion: Vigilance remains key in high-profile crypto launches
While interest in WLFI grows amid its ties to politics and DeFi potential, analysts urge users to remain skeptical of unverified claims—particularly when financial incentives are at play. As the project moves toward enabling token transfers, close monitoring of official communications will be essential to avoid scams and misinformation.
