Key Acquisitions and Partnerships

Among its acquisitions, WLF bought 8,105 ETH at an average price of $3,701 per token, yielding a $2.12 million profit. Additionally, Justin Sun, founder of the Tron blockchain, invested $30 million in WLF, becoming its largest backer. Sun’s involvement includes an advisory role, which could signal a strategic pivot for the project.

It is to be noted that according to an earlier Bloomberg report, World Liberty Financial had faced challenges meeting its fundraising goals despite these investments. The project’s token sale, aimed at raising $300 million for the World Liberty Financial (WLFI) token, had sold less than a quarter of its available supply, until Justin Sun stepped in with his $30 million investment.

WLF also secured support from Polychain Capital, a major venture firm. The project plans to launch a lending and borrowing platform using Aave protocols to enable Ether, wrapped Bitcoin, and stablecoin trading.

Trump’s Role and Vision for Crypto

Donald Trump, who previously doubted Bitcoin, has embraced crypto as part of America’s economic future. He recently appointed David Sacks, a well-known podcaster, as the administration’s “Crypto Czar.” Trump aims to position the U.S. as a global crypto leader, with WLF at the forefront of this vision.
