According to the organisation, this number is very small compared to the overall community and does not affect normal trading behavior.

Details of the Blacklist

The company shared a clear breakdown of the 272 WLFI Wallets that were frozen.

Out of this group,

• 215 wallets were connected to phishing attacks. They said it acted quickly to prevent hackers from moving stolen funds and is now working with the true owners to recover them.

• 50 were blacklisted after their owners reported theft directly to world liberty financial. In these cases, the addresses were frozen at the request of victims to protect any remaining tokens.

• 5 addresses were placed under review due to high-risk exposure.

• 1 address is under a detailed investigation for suspected misuse of other people’s assets.

Normal Trading Is Safe

World liberty financial clarified that holders will not be restricted from normal trading.

The blacklist only includes wallets associated with theft or fraud. The team clarified that reviews are solely based on on-chain signals and verified reports, and not on individuals' subjective opinions.

This assurance follows a previous controversy with Justin Sun, who alleged his wallet was unjustly blocked and demanded the team to honor investor rights.

The action briefly relieved selling pressure but also raised eyebrows about centralization and trust. Most in the community now compare that case with the treatment recent addresses, wondering how far the firm should go in direct intervention.

What Happens Next?

The group clarified that the review of the 272 WLFI Wallets continues. Upon completion, the organisation will post the findings and verify the result for each type of case.

They consist of confirming rightful ownership, securing assets, and eliminating further exposure to security risk.

Users who suspect their wallets may be at risk are being asked to contact WLFI’s official help center or email with transaction details, screenshots, and wallet addresses.

WLFI also warned the community to avoid fake accounts and links sent through private messages.

Community Reactions

The action has created controversy among investors.

• People who support this project welcome the blacklist as a wise move to shield holders and lower pressure to sell.

• They think it may benefit the price stability of the project in the short run.

• Some critics are concerned that regular interventions such as freezing 272 WLFI Wallets could undermine confidence in decentralization.

• They reason that if the decisions seem random, this might lower trust in the governance of the project.

World liberty financial is committed to stay transparent, publish results openly, and keep growing its platform as reviews are being undertaken.

For the time being, the group affirms its goal is simple: safeguard holders, secure funding, and preserve confidence in the WLFI-ecosystem .
