Tron Founder Justin Sun and World Liberty Financial Engage in Heated Dispute

A major dispute has erupted between Tron founder Justin Sun and World Liberty Financial (WLFI), the issuer of Donald Trump's altcoin, WLFI.

The conflict began when Sun accused WLFI of freezing his assets and manipulating the token price. According to on-chain data, Sun had invested approximately $75 million in the project, but his account was frozen just three days after the WLFI token was scheduled to begin trading on September 1, 2025.

WLFI denied the allegations, stating that the accusations are 'baseless' and that they have evidence to prove it. The company announced plans to take legal action against Sun, saying 'We have the contracts, we have the evidence, the truth is on our side. We'll see you in court.'

The dispute has led to significant losses for the project, with approximately 545 million unlocked WLFI tokens frozen and an additional 2.4 billion locked tokens affected by the process. The token price has dropped by around 75% compared to its peak of $0.33 seen in September 2025.
