Trump’s WLF Acquires Over $100M in Crypto on Inauguration

World Liberty Financial, a DeFi project associated with the U.S. President Donald Trump and his family, bought $112.8m worth of cryptocurrencies on the first day of Trump’s presidency. 

The project celebrated the inauguration by expanding the treasury with different tokens, such as Ether (ETH) worth $47 million and Wrapped Bitcoin (WBTC) worth $47 million.

Other tokens bought by World Liberty include $4.7 million AAVE, $4.7 million LINK, $4.7 million TRX, and $4.7 million ENA. This increased the project’s Ether balance to 57,115 ETH, which at the time of writing is worth $185.14 million, and accounts for over 50% of the project’s portfolio.

Currently, World Liberty’s treasury includes 54 million USDC ($54 million), 456.7 WBTC ($46.5 million), 4,747 STETH ($15.3 million), 19,399 AAVE ($6.6 million), 256,315 LINK ($6.2 million), 5.8 million ENA ($4.8 million), and 19.3 million TRX ($4.6 million).

This acquisition comes after a significant development for World Liberty after it sold 20% of its 100 billion WLFI tokens and has raised $300 million since October 2024. The project also recently launched the sale of 5% more tokens, with Tron Founder Justin Sun investing $45 million to the WLFI project.

The latest moves show that World Liberty is expanding its presence in the DeFi sector as it increases its crypto assets and develops cooperation with such personalities as Sun.
