The World Liberty Fi project, backed by Donald Trump and his sons, has made an official statement regarding the reasons behind its wallet blacklisting.
Reasons for the Wallet Blacklist
The WLFI team responded to community concerns, stating that the blacklist is introduced solely for user protection and will not interfere with normal market activities.
Statistics on Blacklisted Addresses
In the past few days, a total of 272 addresses have been blacklisted, which constitutes a relatively small portion of the total number of investors.
215 addresses (79%) were linked to phishing attacks. The WLFI team intervened to prevent hackers from transferring funds and attempted to secure the assets by contacting the rightful owners.
50 addresses (18.4%) were reported stolen by their owners. These wallets were blacklisted for protection at the user’s request.
5 addresses (≈1.8%) were flagged as high-risk for security exposure.
1 address (≈0.4%) is suspected of embezzling funds from other owners and is under extensive internal review.
WLFI Team's Response to Criticism
The WLFI team emphasized that they do not arbitrarily ban any accounts, saying, "Our goal is the safety of our community members. No accounts will be blocked due to normal market operations."
In summary, the WLFI team has taken measures to protect its users, responding to potential threats and criticism stemming from the wallet blockings.
