VirtualBacon shared a viral thread a few hours ago about Trump’s new coin, World Liberty Financial ($WLFI), which is set to launch on September 1st. He called it not just another meme coin, but a mix of political influence, financial utility, and institutional backing – and says he has already taken a seven-figure position in it.
What you'll learn 👉
What Is $WLFI?
According to VirtualBacon, $WLFI is Trump’s official coin, with Eric, Donald Trump Jr., and Barron Trump listed as co-founders. Trump himself was tied to the project before taking office. Unlike typical meme tokens, this one is connected to USD1, a regulated stablecoin backed by U.S. Treasuries.
That link makes $WLFI different from the hype-driven tokens we’ve seen in past cycles. It carries both a political angle – Trump branding – and a financial use case through its stablecoin infrastructure.
Trading, Presale, and Price Action
The token goes live on all major exchanges, including Binance, starting September 1st. Futures are already trading, but the presale unlock will be gradual: 20% liquid and 80% vested.
VirtualBacon revealed that he has been buying WLFI in pre-market futures. His entries started at $0.40, then added more at $0.30, and loaded heavily between $0.22–$0.24, giving him an average entry at $0.28. The current price is hovering around $0.25, which he pointed out means retail traders can actually enter cheaper than him right now.
He also emphasized the importance of not using leverage, warning that even a small move in pre-markets can wipe out overextended positions.
CaptainAltcoin’s YouTube channel also released a video about WLFI coin, you can watch it here:
Price Target and Institutional Support
VirtualBacon’s target for WLFI is $1 per token, which would translate to a $100B fully diluted valuation (FDV). His reasoning is based on comparisons: Trump’s old memecoin, which had no real utility and minimal promotion, peaked at $73B FDV. In his view, an “official” token tied to Treasuries and launched with Trump in office should logically have a higher ceiling.
He also highlighted major institutional involvement:
- DWF Labs invested $25M at $0.10
- Aqua One Fund put in $100M at $0.125
- ALT5 Sigma (a Nasdaq-listed company) bought $1.5B at $0.20
With WLFI now trading at $0.25, VirtualBacon argued that the price is still close to where institutions were buying, just 25% above a Nasdaq treasury deal.
🚨 Trump’s New Coin Launches Next Week 🚨

World Liberty Financial ( $WLFI ) goes live Sept 1.
I’ve already bought a 7-figure position. Here’s what WLFI is, why it matters, and my price prediction 🧵👇
Side Plays and Strategies
Beyond WLFI, VirtualBacon mentioned two related tokens: $BLOCK (BlockStreet, tied to WLFI’s CIO) and $DOLO (Dolomite, linked to WLFI’s CTO). These are smaller caps, which means they carry higher risk but potentially bigger upside.
He also shared that he is running a WLFI bot on Pionex, using a grid range between $0.10–$0.42, already generating 2.5% profit in 22 hours – equivalent to 960% APR annualized.

Why It Matters
VirtualBacon wrapped up his thread by calling WLFI “one of the biggest token events of the cycle.” With Trump’s name, real institutional money, and a tie to U.S. Treasuries, the project combines speculation, politics, and finance in a way the market hasn’t seen before.
He made it clear that while he’s heavily positioned in WLFI, balance is crucial. If WLFI rallies, the ecosystem plays like $BLOCK and $DOLO could multiply faster, but if it dumps, they’ll bleed harder.
For now, the crypto market is watching September 1st closely. With Trump now officially back in office and WLFI hitting exchanges, the token is already shaping up to be one of the most talked-about launches of 2025.
