Binance became the first crypto exchange to list World Liberty Financial’s WLFI token, opening spot pairs against USDT and USDC on September 1 at 13:00 UTC. Deposits opened at 04:00 UTC and withdrawals were scheduled for September 2. Binance also added a WLFI trading pair against TRY. The exchange disclosed a zero listing fee and published the token’s Ethereum contract address.
The listing moves WLFI from a non-transferable presale phase to full tradability on a major venue. CoinDesk first reported the plan for Binance to list WLFI with USDT and USDC pairs as the token transitioned out of its restricted phase.
Trading began with sharp swings. On its first day WLFI fell as much as 25 percent to about 0.21 dollars before stabilizing near 0.24 dollars according to the Financial Times. Barron’s reported that only a portion of the total supply was freely tradable at launch and that early investors could sell up to 20 percent of their allocations.
WLFI is tied to the Trump family’s World Liberty Financial project, which issued 100 billion tokens and initially limited usage to internal voting before a holder vote allowed open trading. FT estimated a nominal market value around 6.4 billion dollars at debut. Reuters also noted the price drop on day one as public trading began.
Binance says WLFI is being integrated across more products. The company announced WLFI support for Simple Earn, Buy Crypto, Convert and Margin. It also revealed plans for a WLFIUSDC perpetual contract on Binance Futures with leverage up to 75x, subject to regional availability.
The WLFI launch sits alongside World Liberty Financial’s stablecoin initiative known as USD1 and broader Trump-linked crypto activity that has drawn both investor interest and political scrutiny. Coverage from mainstream outlets has highlighted the potential for conflicts and the heavy concentration of holdings within the issuer group.
