Trump's tariffs "killed" its own Token, WLFI faced liquidation and fell to nearly 0.1 dollars.

Trump's tariff announcement imposing a 100% tariff on China triggered a $7 billion liquidation wave in the crypto market. The Trump family-associated token WLFI, under World Liberty Financial, plummeted 36% this week, crashing 28.9% in the past 24 hours to $0.128, hitting a low of $0.1046 during trading. Trump's tariff policy unexpectedly severely impacted his own encryption business, with a volume of $910 million indicating panic selling.

Trump tariffs trigger WLFI family Token big dump

World Liberty Financial's WLFI is a token related to a cryptocurrency business associated with President Trump's family, which plummeted along with the market following an unexpected tariff escalation by the U.S. against China that triggered a flash crash in the crypto market.

· WLFI crash data full record

WLFI experienced a big dump of 36% this Monday, with a fall of 28.9% in the past 24 hours, down to $0.128, hitting a low of $0.1046 during the session, with a volume of $910 million. Currently, this coin has dropped 61% from its historical high of $0.3313 on September 1st, with a circulation of 27.26 billion tokens.

WLFI catastrophic fall data:

Biggest fall of the week: 36%

24-hour fall: 28.9%

Current price: 0.128 USD

Lowest point during the trading session: 0.1046 USD (first time falling below the 0.1 USD mark)

Historical high: 0.3313 USD (September 1)

Cumulative fall: 61% (calculated from the peak)

24-hour volume: $910 million (panic dumping)

Circulation: 27.26 billion coins

Liquidity is still concentrated in the major centralized exchanges (CEX), led by the WLFI and USDT trading pairs on Binance. This centralized liquidity means that large sell orders can have a severe impact on prices, exacerbating the severity of the crash.

Trump family's financial interests directly harmed

According to the official website of World Liberty Financial, the program has financial connections with former U.S. President Donald Trump and his family through its affiliated entity DT Marks DEFI LLC.

Trump family interests in WLFI:

Equity structure: DT Marks DEFI LLC holds approximately 38% of the shares of WLF Holdco LLC along with Trump and several of his family members.

Control: WLF Holdco LLC controls World Liberty Financial, Inc.

Token holdings: DT Marks DEFI LLC and some members of the Trump family hold 22.5 billion $WLFI Tokens.

Profit rights: Entitled to 75% of the Token sale revenue according to the service agreement.

The website clarifies that although the Trump family has economic ties, World Liberty Financial is not a political entity or campaign-related project. However, this statement seems quite ironic in the current situation—Trump's political decisions have directly destroyed his family's financial interests.

Estimation of the Trump family's losses: Based on a holding of 22.5 billion WLFI, it has fallen from a high of $0.3313 to the current $0.128, resulting in an unrealized loss of approximately $4.57 billion for the Trump family on WLFI (0.3313 - 0.128) × 22.5 billion = $4.57 billion.

This is the most direct blow to Trump's financial interests from his tariff policy.

Trump tariffs trigger $7 billion crypto market liquidation tsunami

Following the previous threat of export controls on rare earths, President Trump announced that starting from November 1, an additional 100% tariff will be imposed on China, accelerating the dumping.

· Mainstream coins completely collapse

With the emergence of the headlines, Bitcoin fell below $110,000 (with a daily low drop of 10% to 12%), while Ethereum (ETH), Solana (SOL), Ripple (XRP), Dogecoin (DOGE), and other large-cap coins dropped between 15% to 30% during the peak fall.

Market Disaster Caused by Trump's Tariffs:

Bitcoin (BTC): fell below $110,000, with a daily fall of 10-12%.

Ethereum (ETH): fall of 15-30%

Solana (SOL): fall of 15-30%

XRP: fall 15-30%

Dogecoin (DOGE): fall 15-30%

· Total liquidation amount: over 7 billion USD

This drastic volatility caused all leveraged long positions to disappear across various exchanges, ultimately resulting in over $7 billion in liquidations. The forced selling by sellers weakened the order book, further expanding the downside space for spot prices.

Shanzhai coin tragedy: Story halved in a single day

Story (IP) is one of the cryptocurrencies with the biggest fall, down 49% in 24 hours and over 55% in a week. Internet Computer (ICP) and VeChain (VET) both fell over 32%, as traders shifted to fundamentally supported altcoins after a large-scale liquidation. Pump.fun (PUMP) and Arbitrum (ARB) also dropped by about 30%.

Ranking of Big Dumps in Shanzhai Coins:

Story (IP): fell 49% in 24 hours, fell 55% in a week

Internet Computer (ICP): fall over 32%

VeChain (VET): fell over 32%

Pump.fun (PUMP): fall about 30%

Arbitrum (ARB): fell by about 30%

The only exception is ChainOpera AI (COAI), which has soared an astonishing 1,785% in seven days, driven by enthusiasm related to artificial intelligence, although its daily increase has slowed to 1.5%. However, this counter-market rise belongs to a very small number of cases, as the vast majority of tokens have collapsed under the impact of Trump’s tariffs.

Trump's Self-Contradiction on Tariffs: Conflict Between Political and Business Interests

The irony of Trump's tariff policy is that it directly harms the financial interests of the Trump family. This highlights the profound contradiction between political decisions and personal business interests.

· Policy Timeline and Market Reaction

Trump's Tariff Policy Details:

Announcement time: Recently (specific date not specified)

Effective date: November 1, 2025

Tariff rate: An additional 100% tariff on Chinese goods

Scope: All key software implementation export controls

Background: China plans to implement export controls on rare earth mines starting November 1.

President Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping will meet at the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation summit from October 31 to November 1, and this summit may determine whether tariffs are truly implemented or if there is a breakthrough.

The market's violent reaction shows that investors believe the escalation of the trade war is a real threat, rather than a negotiation tactic. The big dump of WLFI proves that even the Trump family's Token cannot escape the impact of his own policies.

· The crypto market's excessive sensitivity to geopolitical risks

The $7 billion liquidation triggered by Trump's tariffs reveals the extreme sensitivity of the crypto market to macro-political events. Compared to traditional financial markets, the crypto market's 24/7 trading, high leverage, and concentrated liquidity make it more susceptible to flash crashes under geopolitical shocks.

Characteristics of Vulnerability in the Crypto Market:

24/7 trading: No market closure protection mechanism, panic dumping cannot be paused.

High leverage multiples: amplify price fluctuations, triggering chain liquidations

Liquidity concentration: Major trading pairs are concentrated on a few exchanges.

Emotion-driven: Lack of fundamental support, overreacting to news

Regulatory uncertainty: Policy risks may change the rules of the game at any time.

WLFI, as a Token associated with the Trump family, should theoretically benefit under Trump's policies, but in reality, it has become one of the biggest victims of Trump's tariff policies. This ironic outcome provides valuable risk education for encryption investors: even Tokens associated with centers of power cannot withstand macroeconomic shocks.

WLFI Investor Response Strategy

In the face of the WLFI big dump of 61%, investors need to rationally assess risks and opportunities.

· Risk Factor Assessment

Continuous Downward Risk:

If Trump's tariff policy is truly implemented, market panic will continue.

The results of the APEC summit around November 1 will determine the direction.

WLFI lacks practical application scenarios and is purely a speculative token.

The Trump family may choose to liquidate to stop losses, triggering greater sell pressure.

Potential Rebound Opportunity:

If Trump and Xi Jinping reach an agreement to avoid the escalation of the trade war, a V-shaped rebound may occur.

0.1046 dollars may be a technically oversold low point

$910 million volume shows there is still interest.

The Trump family holds 22.5 billion tokens and has the motivation to stabilize prices.

Key Technical Price Levels

Support Level:

0.10 USD: psychological barrier, has reached 0.1046 USD

0.08 USD: If it falls, it will trigger a new round of panic.

0.05 USD: Collapse target in extreme scenarios

Resistance Level:

0.15 USD: Short-term rebound target

0.20 USD: A significant improvement in market sentiment is needed.

0.33 USD: Historical peak, difficult to recover in the long term

Investors are advised to set strict stop-losses to avoid excessive exposure amid political uncertainty. The final direction of Trump's tariff policy remains the biggest variable, and the fate of WLFI is deeply tied to Trump's political decisions.
