Justin Sun Defends Himself After Trump’s WLFI Blocks His Tokens

The decision, which came after transfers to Binance during heavy selling pressure, has sparked a high-stakes dispute that blends politics, markets, and one of crypto’s most controversial figures.

A Blacklist That Rocked WLFI Holders

WLFI confirmed that it had blacklisted addresses linked to Sun, locking up roughly 540 million unlocked tokens and 2.4 billion locked ones. The action followed reports of $9 million in WLFI moving toward Binance at a moment when the token was already under strain. The team characterized the freeze as a protective measure for the project’s stability.

Sun’s Response: “I Am Innocent”

Justin Sun, never one to stay quiet in a crisis, took to X to insist the transactions were misinterpreted. He described the transfers as small-scale “exchange tests,” arguing they were routine operations with no connection to market dumping. According to him, the tokens were later routed to specific wallets and never traded in ways that could impact WLFI’s price.

“This was nothing more than standard testing,” Sun wrote. “Our actions had no effect on the market.”

“My Tokens Are Sacred”

Sun also reminded the community of his role as one of WLFI’s earliest backers, saying he invested both capital and confidence into the Trump-linked project. He called the freeze “unreasonable” and demanded equal treatment with other investors:

“As one of the first major supporters of WLFI, my tokens should be respected as much as anyone else’s. They are sacred and inviolable,” he said, urging the team to release the frozen holdings.

Industry Watching Closely

The clash gained wider attention after Nansen CEO Alex Svanevik shared details of the freeze on social media. Sun replied directly, repeating his claim of innocence. For now, WLFI has not indicated whether the tokens will be reinstated.

With political ties, billions at stake, and one of crypto’s most divisive figures involved, the WLFI–Sun standoff has become one of the most talked-about sagas in digital assets this week.
