World Liberty Financial Inc. (WLFI), a Trump family–backed organization, has issued a detailed statement addressing its recent decision to blacklist 272 cryptocurrency wallets. The move, which sparked widespread discussion across social media and crypto forums, was described as a protective measure—not a punitive one—intended to shield users from malicious activity.

The intervention follows a surge in phishing attacks and wallet compromises that raised alarm within the community. WLFI, whose token recently debuted on several centralized exchanges, said the blacklist action, executed over the past few days, was a proactive response to these threats.

According to the organization, the 272 wallets represent a very small portion of its total user base. WLFI emphasized that the action was not meant to suppress legitimate activity but to prevent further harm while investigations are ongoing.

Of the wallets blacklisted, 215 were reportedly linked to a phishing attack, and WLFI said it acted preemptively to prevent hackers from draining funds and is working with the rightful owners to secure and relocate assets. 50 were blacklisted at the request of users who reported account compromise through WLFI’s support channels.

Five were flagged for high-risk exposure and are currently under security review, while one is suspected of misappropriating funds from other holders and is under thorough internal investigation.

“We do not seek to blacklist anyone,” WLFI stated. “We respond when alerted to malicious or high-risk activity that could harm community members. User safety comes first—always.”

In a post on X, WLFI outlined its next steps, which include continued collaboration with rightful wallet owners to verify control and secure assets. The organization also plans to publicly share outcomes for each category once reviews are complete.

WLFI reiterated its commitment to privacy, clarifying that investigations are based solely on on-chain behavior and security signals—not personal opinions or routine trading activity.
