He emphasised that these movements involved no buying or selling that could have influenced the market in any significant way.<\/p>\n<p>In response, Sun called on the WLFI team to immediately unlock his tokens and respect the rights of all investors.<\/p>\n<p>He expressed concern that unilateral freezes risk undermining the project\u2019s credibility and discouraging confidence among the wider community.<\/p>\n<h2>Sun\u2019s public appeal<\/h2>\n<p>Taking to X, Sun delivered a <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/justinsuntron\/status\/1963807543983263802\">direct message<\/a> both to the WLFI team and to the broader global community.<\/p>\n<p>He reminded followers that he had invested not just financially, but also emotionally and strategically, in the project\u2019s early development.<\/p>\n<p>Sun disclosed that he initially purchased $30 million worth of WLFI tokens in late 2024, aligning his interests with those of other early supporters.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMy tokens were unreasonably frozen,\u201d he wrote. \u201cAs one of the early investors, I joined together with everyone \u2014 we bought in the same way, and we all deserve the same rights.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Sun went on to argue that tokens should be considered \u201csacred and inviolable,\u201d setting blockchain apart from traditional finance, where unilateral freezes remain commonplace.<\/p>\n<p>The Tron founder urged WLFI to reverse course, highlighting that true financial brands can only grow through fairness, transparency, and trust. He warned that anything less risks damaging the project\u2019s reputation and alienating its community.<\/p>\n<h2>Market jitters and governance questions<\/h2>\n<p>WLFI\u2019s price movements since its debut have been turbulent. The <a href=\"https:\/\/coinjournal.net\/news\/world-liberty-financial-wlfi-lands-on-major-exchanges-on-day-1-token-unlocks-dampen-gains\/\">token debuted on September 1<\/a> at $0.46, only to drop to $0.25 within two hours due to heavy selling pressure on major exchanges, including Binance, OKX, and Gate.<\/p>\n<p>Since then, it has continued to slide, hovering just above $0.18 at press time, a decline of nearly 19% since launch.<\/p>\n<p>The controversy surrounding Sun\u2019s wallet has amplified concerns about the governance structure of WLFI.<\/p>\n<p>Despite being presented as a decentralised platform, the ability of project leaders to blacklist wallets and freeze investor tokens has raised sharp questions.<\/p>\n<p>Critics argue that such unilateral actions undermine the very principles of decentralisation that projects like WLFI are supposed to uphold.<\/p>\n<p>The WLFI team is yet to respond directly to Sun\u2019s calls, leaving uncertainty hanging over the project during its crucial early days.<\/p>\n<p>With the token struggling to maintain stability and investors wary of governance risks, the handling of this dispute may determine whether WLFI can recover trust and build a lasting reputation in the competitive digital asset market.<\/p>\n<div class=\"post-meta\">\n<hr class=\"mb-6\"\/>\n<h6 class=\"text-3xl  mb-4  text-green-300\">Share this article<\/h6>\n<hr class=\"mb-6\"\/>\n<h6 class=\"text-3xl  mb-4  text-green-300\">Categories<\/h6>\n<hr class=\"mb-6\"\/>\n<h6 class=\"text-3xl  mb-4  text-green-300\">Tags<\/h6>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/coinjournal.net\/news\/justin-sun-publicly-asks-for-the-unfreezing-of-his-wlfi-tokens\/\">Source link <\/a><br \/>\n<br \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>(Originally posted on : CoinJournal: Latest Crypto News, Altcoin News and Cryptocurrency Comparison ) World Liberty Financial (WLFI) froze 540M tokens linked to Justin Sun\u2019s wallet.
