President of Liberland Has Assets Frozen By Trump Crypto Company – Everything to Know

Justin Sun, the Prime Minister of Liberland and a well-known crypto billionaire, says his holdings in Donald Trump’s World Liberty Financial (WLFI) have been unfairly frozen. Observers wonder if Trump is using his crypto fortune as a new tool of political pressure – here’s a story.

On Sept. 5, Sun announced on X that approximately 545M WLFI tokens were unreasonably frozen the previous day. The $10M tokens had been frozen under what WLFI called its so-called guardian address, and he could not get them out.

To the World Liberty Financials team and the global community,

As one of the early major investors in World Liberty Financials, I have contributed not only capital but also my trust and support for the future of this project. My goal has always been to grow alongside the team…

According to blockchain analytics company Nansen, the freeze was triggered after Sun moved 50M tokens worth $9.12M.

Justin Sun (@justinsuntron) transferred 50M $WLFI, worth $9.12M, to a new wallet and likely to be deposited into #HTX.

The sale was within the boundaries of WLFI rules, allowing its early investors to sell at most 20% of their stake. Sun, who founded the TRON blockchain, has been one of WLFI’s biggest supporters.

He invested $30M at the end of 2024 and increased his contribution to $75M at the beginning of 2025.

How Did the Blacklist Impact WLFI’s Price and Investor Confidence?

World Liberty Financial’s vague statement admitted that they were concerned about wallet blacklists in the community, but did not comment on Sun’s case.

The blacklist includes around 595M WLFI tokens, which are valued at approximately $107M at current prices. The news affected investors, and the WLFI price started at over $0.30 but dropped to approximately $0.18.

Sun called the freeze an attack on core blockchain values, insisting that “tokens are sacred and inviolable.” One Bitcoin advocate argued that WLFI’s actions run directly against the principles of immutability and fairness that Bitcoin was designed to uphold.

Is Trump Using His Crypto Platform as a Political Weapon?

The freeze has left observers asking whether Trump uses his crypto venture as a political tool. If a foreign leader’s holdings can be locked without warning, the precedent could blur the line between finance and power politics in the digital age.

The freeze of Justin Sun’s holdings has stirred more than financial questions. Sun is a well-known crypto figure and the self-proclaimed Prime Minister of Liberland, a micronation with symbolic political weight.

That dual role turns what might seem like a technical issue into a story with geopolitical undertones. Was this simply about compliance or a show of power?

World Liberty Financial (WLFI) is closely linked to the Trump family. Donald Trump’s business controls most of the platform and earns the majority of its revenue, while his sons hold leadership roles.

That’s why Sun’s case stands out. Freezing the assets of a foreign head of state, however small or symbolic his nation may be, looks deliberate.

If someone as prominent as Sun can be locked out, investors will wonder what freedom really means in this ecosystem. Sun has dismissed the flagged transactions as routine deposit tests and demanded his access back, but the damage may already be done.

The move feeds doubts about WLFI’s independence and highlights how politics and finance can blur together when ownership and governance overlap so heavily. There’s no hard proof that this was a calculated political strike.

Yet the optics are impossible to ignore. A project pitched as a decentralized experiment is now being seen by many as a tool of influence.

The freeze of Sun’s assets is a reminder that, in practice, crypto platforms with centralized control can still act like traditional power structures using access as leverage, and leaving investors to wonder whose interests really come first.
