WLFI whale panic sparks liquidity drain: Can bulls hold on to $0.20?

ambcryptoОпубликовано 2025-10-01Обновлено 2025-10-02

Key Takeaways

Are World Liberty Financial whales giving up?

Not entirely. While one whale pulled 11M WLFI worth $2.15M from liquidity and sold, creating sharp downside pressure, broader whale activity remains mixed.

What’s driving WLFI’s current selling pressure?

Futures Netflow dropped to -14.81M, retail selling volume exceeded buys by 192M WLFI — signs of aggressive sell pressure pushing the token toward $0.186 support.


World Liberty Financial [WLFI] bounced back moderately as it successfully defended the $0.20 support, after dropping to a local low $0.19. 

In fact, as of this writing, WLFI was trading at $0.200, rising by 0.92% on the daily charts. 

Before this gain, the altcoin had been on a strong downtrend, dropping by 36% over the last 30 days. Now, some market players are signaling fatigue and taking a step back. 

What are WLFI whales up to?

As WLFI dropped below $0.2, a whale panicked and hurriedly closed its positions. Per Lookonchain, a whale removed 11 million WLFI worth $2.15 million from the liquidity pool, selling them for 521 Ethereum [ETH]

Usually, when an offload occurs, it signals a lack of confidence in the market. However, not all whales exhibit this type of behavior. 

According to Nansen data, World Liberty Financial whales have recorded a positive balance change for three consecutive days.

Over this period, whales have acquired 61 million tokens, reflecting sustained demand. 

Derivatives turn highly bearish

Interestingly, with the market showing weaknesses, investors in the Futures markets have reduced exposure. 

According to CoinGlass, Futures Inflow fell to $270.55 million while Outflow jumped to $285.36 million. As a result, Futures Netflow dropped to -$14.81 million, marking a 68% change.

When Futures Outflow hikes, it suggests that traders are aggressively closing positions. 

Retail selling activity skyrockets, too 

Surprisingly, while WLFI has yet to make minimal gains, selling activity on the Spot market skyrocketed. According to Coinalyze, World Liberty Financial has recorded a negative Delta for three consecutive days. 

Over this period, the altcoin saw a cumulative total of 685.25 million in sell volume compared to 495.81 million in buy volume.

As a result, the altcoin recorded a negative buy-sell delta of -192.44 million, a clear sign of aggressive selling. 

Exchange activity echoed this behavior. 

According to CoinGlass, WLFI Spot Netflow turned positive for the first time in two weeks. At press time, Netflow was $507k, indicating higher inflow — a sign of increased selling pressure.

Historically, increased selling activity from retail traders has resulted in intense downward pressure, often a precursor to low prices.

Is WLFI set for more losses?

World Liberty Financial is experiencing intense bearish pressure, with investors across the market selling aggressively.

As a result, the altcoin’s Stochastic RSI dropped into oversold territory, settling at 28 as of this writing. At the same time, the Relative Strength Index (RSI) fell to 44, holding within bearish territory.

Such a market setup signals higher selling pressure and weak upward momentum.

Having said that, if sellers, including whales, continue to dominate the market, WLFI will drop below $0.20 with $0.186 acting as key support.

However, if bulls establish a position in the market to defend this support level, they could push the altcoin towards $0.224 in the short term.

Near Returns to the AI Stage: Transformation into a Public Chain Due to 'Payroll Difficulties,' Agent and Privacy Emerge as New Growth Narratives

NEAR Returns to AI Origins: From Payroll Struggles to Blockchain, Now Focusing on AI Agents and Privacy NEAR Protocol's journey began not with grand blockchain ambitions, but from a practical hurdle: its AI startup founders, including Transformer paper co-author Illia Polosukhin, couldn't efficiently pay international developers in 2017. This led them to pivot and build a high-performance, scalable blockchain. After years navigating various crypto narratives like sharding and cross-chain interoperability, NEAR is now leveraging its AI roots to re-enter the AI arena. A key driver is its "NEAR Intents" layer, which abstracts complex cross-chain transactions. Users simply state their goal (e.g., swap BTC for ETH), and a solver network finds the optimal route. This system has processed over $20B in cross-chain volume, generating significant fee revenue. A major growth area is private transactions via "Confidential Intents/Swaps," which hide trade details until settlement to protect against MEV and front-running. Remarkably, private swaps recently accounted for over 40% of NEAR's transaction volume, highlighting strong demand but also potential regulatory scrutiny. With its AI-founder pedigree, NEAR is positioning itself at the intersection of blockchain, AI agents, and privacy, aiming to become infrastructure for the emerging agent economy while navigating the challenges of its rapid adoption.

From Ethereum to AI's 'CROPS': What Exactly is This Set of 'Slow Variables' That Vitalik Repeatedly Emphasizes?

In recent discussions, Vitalik Buterin has frequently emphasized the concept of "CROPS," a framework defining core values for Ethereum's development. CROPS stands for Censorship Resistance, Capture Resistance, Open Source, Privacy, and Security. Initially outlined in the Ethereum Foundation's "EF Mandate," it represents a commitment to user sovereignty, ensuring that the network resists external control, remains open, protects privacy, and prioritizes security. The relevance of CROPS extends beyond Ethereum's foundational principles, becoming crucial in the context of AI integration. As AI agents begin handling wallet operations and automated transactions, the risk increases that users may cede control over their digital assets, privacy, and intentions to centralized AI service providers. A "CROPS AI" would therefore emphasize local execution where possible, privacy-preserving remote model calls (e.g., using zero-knowledge proofs), and transparent, verifiable processes to maintain user agency. Vitalik highlights a significant convergence between "CROPS Ethereum access layer" and "CROPS AI." Both address the same fundamental challenge: how users can access powerful services—be it blockchain data via RPCs or AI models—without exposing sensitive information or relinquishing ultimate control. This intersection points toward a future digital entry point that is more private, secure, and user-controlled. Ultimately, CROPS is not merely an abstract ideal but a practical guidepost. It steers development—from protocol resilience and wallet design to AI agent safety—towards a future where users retain self-sovereignty even as digital systems grow more complex and powerful. In an era of accelerating AI adoption, these "slow variables" of censorship resistance, openness, privacy, and security may define Ethereum's enduring value.

Silicon Valley 'Startup Guru' Steve Hoffman: Web3 + AI Could Be a Trap

Silicon Valley investor and "Godfather of Startups" Steve Hoffman warns that combining Web3 with AI is likely a trap, not a promising venture. In an interview, Hoffman argues that while AI is a foundational technology touching all industries, Web3 adds complexity, friction, and regulatory risk without solving mainstream consumer or business needs. He advises founders to focus on deep, specialized applications where startups can out-iterate giants, rather than on generic features easily replicated by large tech companies. Hoffman observes that Silicon Valley will lead foundational AI research, while China excels at rapid, large-scale application and commercialization, particularly in robotics. He stresses that AI-driven autonomous agents capable of collaborative, multi-step tasks are 2-4 years away, which will cause significant job displacement. The solution is not to slow AI but to redesign business models around human-AI collaboration and reform social systems like education and retraining. For startups, Hoffman recommends focusing on vertical, expertise-heavy domains to build defensibility. He sees major opportunities in AI fraud detection and cybersecurity. Key founder mindsets include systemic thinking over feature-focus, relentless customer centricity, building adaptive teams, and deeply understanding AI's capabilities and limits. Hoffman is also leading a non-profit initiative to establish university centers aimed at training future leaders in responsible, human-value-aligned AI innovation.
