Update Sept. 5, 11:20 a.m. UTC: This article has been updated to include insights from Coinbase\u2019s Conor Grogan.<\/p>\n

Tron founder Justin Sun is urging World Liberty Financial (WLFI), a crypto project linked to the Trump family, to unfreeze his token allocation. His wallets were blacklisted after suspicious transactions flagged by blockchain trackers sparked accusations of selling.<\/p>\n

Sun\u2019s World Liberty Financial (WLFI) token address was blacklisted<\/a> on Thursday, after blockchain data from Nansen and Arkham flagged the address for a $9 million transfer, Cointelegraph reported.<\/p>\n

In a Friday response to the blacklisting, Sun said his pre-sale tokens were \u201cunreasonably frozen,\u201d urging the team behind World Liberty Financial to unlock his investment, in respect to the principles of decentralized blockchain technology.\u00a0<\/p>\n

World Liberty\u2019s decision to block his tokens is a violation of investor rights and risks \u201cdamaging broader confidence in World Liberty Financial,\u201d wrote Sun in a X post<\/a>, adding:<\/p>\n

\u201cI call on the team to respect these principles, unlock my tokens, and let\u2019s move forward together toward the success of World Liberty Financials.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\u201cTokens are sacred and inviolable\u2014this should be the most basic value of any blockchain. It\u2019s also what makes us stronger and more fair than traditional finance,\u201d added Sun.<\/p>\n

Sun was among the first investors to join the Trump family-linked WLFI pre-sale, and said that he was looking to hold the tokens long-term.<\/p>\n

Sun \u201cstated he will not be selling soon (his words) and is creating yield on HTX for WLFI deposits \u2014 plus minting $200M USD1 on Tron to power the ecosystem,\u201d wrote the WLFI platform in a Tuesday X post<\/a>, referencing Sun\u2019s earlier statement.<\/p>\n

\u201cJustin and the WLFI team are in active communication about this matter,\u201d a spokesperson for Justin Sun previously told Cointelegraph.<\/p>\n

Justin Sun moved $9 million of WLFI to HTX: Bubblemaps<\/h2>\n

The blacklisting occurred shortly after Sun had started moving WLFI tokens to the HTX cryptocurrency exchange.<\/p>\n

\u201cJustin Sun moved $9M of his still-unlocked $WLFI to HTX. In total, he sent $10M to CEXs over the past 3 days,\u201d wrote Bubblemaps in a Friday X post<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Other crypto analysts have also suggested that Sun was selling his allocation, despite earlier promises.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf Justin Sun really lured in WLFI tokens from HTX users with a 20% APY to lock them, and then sell them to get out of \u2018his\u2019 own position while they\u2019re still unvested, then he deserves to get his account frozen,\u201d wrote Quinten Fran\u00e7ois, cryptocurrency analyst and the co-founder of social decentralized application weRate, in a Friday X post<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Others, including Nansen crypto intelligence platform founder Alex Svanevik, contend that Sun has not been selling his allocation.<\/p>\n

\u201cAt first, it (an AI agent) thought @justinsuntron caused the dump. Then I asked it to scrutinize the timestamps. Conclusion seems to be: he did not,\u201d wrote Svanevik in a Friday X post<\/a>, referencing his conversation with the Nansen AI agent.<\/p>\n

Still other industry analysts allege that Sun circumvented HTX to end up selling via the Binance exchange instead.<\/p>\n

\u201cA Binance deposit wallet connected to Justin Sun received over 60 million WLFI tokens worth $12M yesterday from HTX,\u201d according to Conor Grogan, head of product at Coinbase exchange.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe 60M WLFI deposit represents about 52.6% of HTX\u2019s total WLFI holdings at present from what I can find onchain based on HTX\u2019s public wallets,\u201d Grogan said in a Thursday X post<\/a>.<\/p>\n
