- The market debut valued WLFI above $26 billion, with more than $2 billion traded and the Trump family seeing their net worth rise by nearly $6 billion Monday.
- Analysts cautioned that WLFI's private raises and insider purchases raise retail investor risks, while Andrew Rossow warned its SEC avoidance may weaken safeguards under the GENIUS Act.
