Justin Sun sues World Liberty Financial for freezing his 2.94B WLFI tokens

• Justin Sun says WLFI froze 2.94 billion tokens and removed voting rights.
• Lawsuit filed after failed attempts to resolve the dispute privately.
• WLFI has introduced a Governance proposal that may lock tokens for non-consenting holders.

Justin Sun has filed a lawsuit in a California federal court against World Liberty Financial (WLFI), alleging that the project froze his holdings of 2.94 billion WLFI tokens and stripped him of key investor rights without justification.

The move escalates a growing dispute between one of crypto’s most recognisable entrepreneurs and a project that has positioned itself around decentralised governance and early-stage token distribution.

In his public statement, Sun confirmed that he is seeking legal protection of his rights as a WLFI token holder.

Sun also emphasised that the lawsuit does not change his political stance or his support for the Trump administration’s pro-crypto direction. According to him, the dispute is strictly about investor treatment and token governance, not politics.
