In less than a day after its release, the token World Liberty Financial (WLFI) saw its major holders liquidate investments.
一晚上过去，再来看看 $WLFI TOP10 个人持有者的抛售情况

🔸 80% 的持有者都选择了部分 / 全部止盈，只有 TOP2 & 5 仍未转移或卖出任何代币
🔹 TOP1 持有者 moonmanifest.eth 选择保留了绝大部分代币，其 10 亿枚代币的账面利润随 WLFI 的下跌已有较大回撤，但按现价 $0.2318 计算仍价值 2.3 亿美元... https://t.co/nAoT5iL9C6 pic.twitter.com/Nz9xTSel2k
On 2 September, blockchain researcher Aixpta shared data showing that eight of the ten largest WLFI holders had partially or completely sold their positions in less than 24 hours since the token began trading.
Only the wallets at addresses 2 and 5 have not yet moved any funds.
According to data, the largest WLFI holder, moonmanifest.eth, has unlocked 200 million WLFIs with a total value of $59.5 million. Within five hours, he sold 10 million WLFIs for $2.1 million at a price of $0.21 each.
Reporter Ember CN wrote: "Five hours after the unlock, 10 million WLFIs were sold."
. @moonmanifest47 昨晚领取了解锁的 2 亿枚 WLFI ($5945 万) 后，在 5 小时前卖出了 1000 万枚 WLFI 换成 210 万 U。出售价格 $0.21。

In the meantime, the so-called "whale" number six sold WLFI for $3.8 million via Whale Market. The tokens were distributed to 36 buyers. A number of other wallets in WLFI's top 10 transferred funds to centralised exchanges minutes after the token launch on 1 September.
WLFI holders may be phishing victims
Blockchain security researchers are warning WLFI holders of the risk of phishing attacks exploiting the new standard EIP-7702 on Ethereum.
Yu Xian of SlowMist issued a warning pointing out that attackers are taking advantage of the proxy function introduced by the newly introduced EIP-7702 to empty victims' wallets. The attack involved a WLFI holder who lost funds from some addresses after interacting with a malicious contract.
经典的 EIP-7702 钓鱼利用。首先你朋友私钥泄露了，钓鱼团伙（可能不止一个）给你朋友私钥对应的钱包地址埋伏好了 EIP-7702 利用机制，这个机制只要你试图想转走其中剩余 token，比如这些被扔进 Lockbox 合约的 $WLFI，你打入了的 Gas 都会被 "自动 "转走...

Xian warned that once the victim's private key is exposed, "attackers can pre-delegate an address to the malicious one, completely emptying the victim's wallet by collecting all assets, including the ETH used for gas."
He added: "The good news is that there is a chance of recovery if the victim manages to execute a transaction in advance of the malicious contract by paying gas to overwrite the proxy address with a secure one and transferring the tokens to the same block via flashbots."
WLFI: A Disappointing Trading Start
WLFI's initial trading session, characterised by high volatility, was likely hurt by early investors cashing in as soon as the opportunity arose, despite extreme swings.
In addition to the massive selling seen on WLFI's first day, some holders should pay attention to the phishing threat related to Ethereum's new standard EIP-7702.
