- WLFI transferred 39 million tokens worth $2.19 million toward a Bybit-linked deposit wallet.
- Exchange net inflows reached $1.34 million, signaling increased short-term selling pressure.
- Derivatives traders remained mildly bullish despite rising exchange deposits and treasury-related concerns.
World Liberty Financial — WLFI, has triggered fresh selling concerns after a major treasury transfer. The project moved 39 million WLFI tokens toward a Bybit-linked wallet. The tokens carried a value of roughly $2.19 million. Such transfers often make traders nervous because exchanges provide easier selling access. Yet WLFI still gained 1.65% during the past day. That reaction raises one key question: can buyers absorb more selling pressure?
WLFI Exchange Inflows Point to Rising Pressure
Onchain Lens reported the 39 million WLFI treasury transfer. The tracker suggested the tokens could eventually enter the market. Treasury deposits can increase the amount of available supply on exchanges. That possibility often creates short-term pressure on a token’s price. WLFI’s recent spot flow data supports that concern. Exchange inflows reached approximately $14.76 million over 24 hours. Outflows reached about $13.41 million during the same period.
That produced a positive net inflow of roughly $1.34 million. Positive netflow means more WLFI entered exchanges than left them. Traders could interpret that shift as a warning sign. More exchange deposits can provide additional inventory for potential sellers. The latest daily figure also deserves attention. The $1.34 million net inflow exceeded the previous seven-day total. That weekly figure stood near $1.32 million. Such a sharp short-term change suggests selling pressure has intensified.
However, longer-term data tells a more balanced story. WLFI recorded negative net inflows over the past 15 days. The figure reached approximately $640,480 below zero. The 30-day netflow looked even more supportive. WLFI recorded negative net inflows of roughly $8.16 million. Those figures show that outflows previously dominated exchange activity. The recent shift therefore looks more like a short-term change. Traders now need to watch whether deposits continue rising.
Derivatives Traders Remain Mildly Bullish
WLFI’s derivatives market offers a different perspective. The OI-weighted funding rate recently reached 0.0030%. Open interest also remained near $249 million. A positive funding rate means long traders pay short traders. Such positioning usually reflects bullish expectations among derivatives participants. However, the current rate remains modest.
That suggests traders have not reached extreme levels of optimism. This balance could become important if treasury deposits increase further. Larger exchange inflows could challenge the confidence shown by derivatives traders. Rising funding rates could also create additional liquidation risks. For now, WLFI faces a clear market split. Treasury movements point toward higher potential selling pressure.
Meanwhile, derivatives traders continue maintaining a mildly bullish stance. WLFI’s 1.65% daily gain shows buyers have absorbed recent concerns. The next few sessions could reveal whether that demand can continue. Further exchange deposits may test the strength of current buyers. A slowdown in inflows could instead ease pressure and support WLFI’s price.
