Trump Family’s Foray Into Crypto Continues
World Liberty Financial is a crypto and DeFI project supported by the US President and some family members, including Donald Trump Jr., Eric Trump, and Barron Trump. It aims to strengthen the US dollar’s position in the highly competitive DeFi space.
According to company records, Trump and his associates control 60% of the WLF, which assigns them 75% control over the firm’s revenue and access to 22.5 billion tokens. Trump’s family also owns most of the Trump Media & Technology Group, which recently announced its shift to crypto after starting with financial services.
WLF’s Macro Strategy – What We Know So Far
Last February 12th, Trump’s crypto company announced the creation of the Macro Strategy, a strategic token reserve that aims to boost its competitiveness in DeFi. In a Twitter/X post, WLF shared that this new project aims to enhance stability, foster growth, build trust, and promote strategic partnerships with financial institutions.
WLF recently received a boost from Tron’s Justin Sun, who invested at least $75 million in its native token, making him one of the most prominent investors. However, Sun’s entry into the company was criticized due to his alleged links with illegal financial activities. Aside from Sun’s investment, WLF has offered various deals to its investors, making it one of the biggest crypto launches to date.
WLF Continues To Boost Holdings, As Criticisms Start To Trickle In
WLF continues its expansion in the crypto market thanks to Trump’s backing and the entry of Sun. According to a BitMart Research report, as of February 9th, the company has sold $455 million worth of tokens. Trump’s crypto project generated $319 million from selling its 21.3 billion tokens at $0.015 each. And for its second round of sales, the company earned another $136 million.
However, WLF remains at the center of controversy due mainly to its links with the Trump family. According to some critics, Trump’s crypto project is self-serving and only benefits the president’s immediate family members and allies.
