Justin Sun Accuses World Liberty Financial of Unfair WLFI Token Freeze

Abstract generation in progress

Tron founder Justin Sun has sharply criticized the World Liberty Financial (WLFI) project linked to Donald Trump’s family. He claims his WLFI tokens were “unreasonably frozen” and calls for respecting investor rights and fundamental blockchain principles. The dispute comes amid a steep WLFI price drop of more than 50% in just one week.

Sun Demands Unlocking of Frozen Tokens Justin Sun, one of WLFI’s early backers, revealed that his tokens had been unilaterally frozen. On platform X, he warned that such a move undermines trust in the project: “Tokens are sacred and untouchable. That should be the most basic value of any blockchain. I call on the team to respect these principles, unlock my tokens, and move forward together toward the success of World Liberty Financial.” According to Sun, WLFI must ensure fairness, transparency, and trust. He argued that unilateral asset freezes damage legitimate investor rights and weaken the entire ecosystem.

Pump & Dump, or Unfair Measures? WLFI’s price collapse — losing over half its value since listing on Binance — sparked a wave of accusations. Critics allege Sun may have engaged in a pump-and-dump scheme, artificially inflating the price and then selling off. Sun denied the claims: “Our address only made a few test deposits with very small amounts. No buys or sells were recorded, so it could not have impacted the market.” Still, many recall that Sun promoted WLFI with promises of a 20% annual yield and a token burn program, designed to attract investors. Critics argue he may have later exploited the Binance hype to exit some of his holdings.

A Divided Community Parts of the crypto community see Sun’s actions as evidence of manipulation. Others warn that freezing an investor’s tokens sets a dangerous precedent that undermines the very foundation of decentralization. The controversy escalated further when Sun publicly declared just two days ago that he would not sell his WLFI shares — just before the dispute over frozen wallets came to light.

👉 The case highlights the tension between the ideals of decentralization and the realities of projects involving major investors and political connections. Whatever the truth, WLFI now faces a crisis of trust that may decide its future.
