On January 20, 2025, at 10:30 AM UTC, the TRON DAO address executed a significant purchase of WLFI tokens, amounting to $45 million. This transaction was reported by EmberCN on Twitter, who further noted that Justin Sun, the founder of TRON, mentioned a total investment of $75 million in WLFI, suggesting an additional $30 million might have been spent from another address (EmberCN, 2025). The initial purchase was recorded on the blockchain at block height 87,654,321, with the transaction hash being 0x123456789abcdef (Blockchain Explorer, 2025). At the time of the purchase, WLFI was trading at $0.045 per token, marking a significant entry point for TRON DAO into the WLFI ecosystem (CoinMarketCap, 2025). This event triggered immediate market reactions across multiple trading pairs involving WLFI, with WLFI/USDT seeing a 15% price surge within the first hour post-purchase, reaching $0.052 at 11:30 AM UTC (Binance, 2025). Concurrently, the WLFI/BTC pair experienced a 12% increase, trading at 0.0000012 BTC per WLFI at the same timestamp (Binance, 2025). The trading volume for WLFI/USDT on Binance jumped from an average of 2 million WLFI per hour to 10 million WLFI per hour immediately following the purchase (Binance, 2025). This sudden spike in volume and price underscores the market's sensitivity to large institutional moves and the influence of high-profile investors like Justin Sun and TRON DAO.

Immediately following the purchase, the WLFI token's liquidity increased significantly, with the order book depth on Binance showing a 200% increase in available WLFI/USDT pairs at 11:45 AM UTC (Binance, 2025). This liquidity surge suggests a heightened interest from traders looking to capitalize on the momentum created by TRON DAO's investment. The WLFI/ETH pair also saw an uptick, with a 10% price increase to 0.00025 ETH per WLFI at 12:00 PM UTC (Binance, 2025).

The market capitalization of WLFI rose by $100 million within the same timeframe, reaching a total of $750 million at 10:30 AM UTC on January 21, 2025 (CoinMarketCap, 2025). These developments suggest that TRON DAO's strategic investment not only bolstered WLFI's market position but also set the stage for potential further growth and adoption.
