WLFI Jumps Double Digits Ahead of Mar-a-Lago 'World Liberty Forum'
World Liberty Financial’s WLFI token jumped over 22% in 24 hours, coinciding with the announcement of a high-profile February 18 event at Mar-a-Lago featuring digital assets, AI, and dollar strength. Despite this surge, WLFI remains down 27% for the month and 60% below its 2025 high. Industry observers attribute the spike mainly to technical factors: large purchases from whales, a suspected team wallet injection, and a short squeeze moved by negative funding rates. Additional catalysts include whale accumulation and a rumored token buyback, amplifying momentum ahead of the event. While traders chase politically themed tokens during periods of macro uncertainty, ongoing scrutiny over a $500 million UAE-linked investment raises regulatory risks. Congressional figures have called for investigations, which could cap future upside and undermine institutional interest. Experts caution that WLFI’s rise appears sentiment-driven and susceptible to reversal if political or regulatory pressure increases.
