World Liberty Financial (WLFI) is back in the spotlight. Binance announced the WLFIUSDC perpetual contract in a support notice published Sept. 8, 2025, offering up to 75x leverage. The announcement comes just a week after Binance listed WLFI for spot trading, showing the token’s advanced integration into the exchange’s ecosystem.
What is WLFI?
World Liberty Financial (WLFI) is a decentralized finance (DeFi) platform launched by the Trump family, aiming to connect traditional finance with blockchain technology. The platform's native token, WLFI, serves as a governance token, allowing holders to vote on protocol upgrades and other key decisions. WLFI emphasizes user-friendly design to provide easier access to DeFi, targeting unbanked populations and reducing reliance on centralized intermediaries. WLFI operates under a unique governance model, distinguishing itself from traditional decentralized autonomous organizations (DAOs).
What traders can expect
The new perpetual contract allows users to take long or short positions on WLFI with high leverage, settled in USDC. It will also support Binance’s Multi-Assets Mode, which enables margining positions using multiple cryptocurrencies, including BTC and other eligible assets. This framework allows cross-asset traders to optimize capital efficiency, though it remains subject to haircuts and Binance’s risk management rules.
The launch follows a highly publicized spot listing on Sept. 1, a week prior, which has already stirred market attention. WLFI has garnered headlines due to its connections with the Trump family, the blacklisting of Justin Sun’s wallet, and debates over its decentralization model, attracting both curiosity and scrutiny from traders. Binance notes in its announcement that leverage up to 75x introduces liquidation risk. The exchange’s risk framework applies margin haircuts and funding rates that can change without notice. Traders should review the official Binance risk disclosures before engaging in WLFIUSDC futures.
Technical picture: caution amid volatility
At press time, WLFI trades around $0.2135, down roughly 8% in the past 24 hours from a weekly high of $0.255. Technical indicators suggest cautious sentiment. The MACD has dropped below the zero line, with an expanding negative histogram signaling rising bearish momentum.
Volume has ticked up slightly during the pullback, hinting at short-term profit-taking or panic selling. Key support levels are positioned at $0.2000 and $0.1860, while reclaiming $0.2200 would be necessary for upward momentum to resume. Beyond that, $0.2400–$0.2500 represents resistance for bulls attempting a recovery.
Crypto analyst Michaël van de Poppe notes that if WLFI sees renewed volume, the token could push toward $0.30 in the coming days, emphasizing the importance of trading activity in determining near-term moves.
What this means for traders
The WLFIUSDC perpetual contract expands the exchange’s derivatives offerings and provides flexible tools for hedging and speculation, especially for traders managing multi-asset portfolios. High-leverage options also introduce higher risk, meaning participants must carefully monitor margin requirements and market volatility.
With its combination of spot trading momentum, high-leverage futures, and ongoing media attention, WLFI is entering a phase where price action could be driven as much by headlines as by fundamentals. The project's association with the Trump family has generated both interest and skepticism among investors. While some view WLFI as a promising venture into the DeFi space, others express concerns about potential conflicts of interest and governance transparency. We are yet to see how they manage to navigate through these challenges as this will likely influence its long-term success.

Risk disclosure: Trading perpetual futures at high leverage (up to 75x in WLFI’s case) carries significant financial risk, including rapid liquidation and losses exceeding your margin deposit. Tokens such as WLFI, which are newly listed and politically exposed, may also face additional volatility, liquidity shortages, and regulatory actions.
