World Liberty Forum Opens, WLFI Rises by 18%, Eric Trump Says Crypto Still in "Starting Gate"

2026.02.19 08:41:45

On February 19, WLFI—the platform token of World Liberty Financial—surged roughly 18% on the opening day of the World Liberty Forum at Mar-a-Lago. Co-founder Eric Trump noted that despite market volatility, the crypto industry’s overall development remains at the “one-yard line” — meaning it’s still in its early stages. Trump added that more traditional financial institutions are now offering clients exposure to crypto assets and integrating digital assets into their strategic roadmaps, a sign of shifting attitudes among mainstream capital. Separately, financial services firm Apex Group announced plans to test World Liberty’s USD1 stablecoin in traditional fund management processes to boost settlement efficiency for tokenized assets. USD1, currently the fifth-largest USD-pegged stablecoin by market cap, has a circulating supply exceeding $5 billion. (Source: The Block)

Overnight Nasdaq 100 Drops 1.7%, $40M Long Whale Liquidated Below Cost Basis

March 13 – Per Coinbob Popular Address Monitor (link: https://t.me/Coinbob_track_CN), the Nasdaq 100 closed down 1.7% overnight. On Hyperliquid, the XYZ100 is currently trading at $24,570. As a result, the platform’s whale—known for heavy positions across three major markets—saw its 10x leveraged long position on XYZ100 flip from profit to loss overnight, with a floating loss of $480,000. Its current position size has shrunk to $39.3 million, with an average entry price of $24,861. Reportedly, this whale has been bearish on commodities and bullish on risk assets over the past month. It currently holds an $8.8 million long position in BTC and a $5.23 million short position in CL (crude oil). Despite the pullback in its Nasdaq 100 long positions, the hedge from crude oil’s decline and BTC’s rally allowed it to book a $120,000 daily profit.

Vitalik has donated SHIB to 2 organizations, cashing out approximately $500 million worth of SHIB

On March 13, Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin published a post detailing his ties to the Future of Life Institute (FLI) and his stance on AI risk issues. In 2021, Vitalik passively received a large sum of meme coins (including SHIB), with their paper value peaking at over $1 billion. He donated half to CryptoRelief and the other half to FLI, expecting FLI to cash out no more than $10–25 million. However, FLI actually cashed out around $500 million (CryptoRelief faced a similar situation). Vitalik noted FLI later underwent an internal strategic shift, prioritizing large-scale political actions as its core approach—this marked a sharp departure from its initial plan. He expressed concerns, arguing that using a large fund pool to drive political action could lead to unintended consequences and potentially devolve into authoritarian practices (e.g., restricting open-source AI to prop up a single "correct" institution’s dominance). Such moves carry significant risk of backfiring.
