Trump-Backed WLFI Redefines Decentralized Finance Growth

• WLFI’s investments in ETH and TRON show its growing focus on digital asset reserves.  
• The platform’s compliance-based DeFi approach seamlessly blends innovation with trust.  
• Donald Trump’s regulatory steps aim to ensure a secure future for digital finance.  

Donald Trump’s Project World Liberty Financial (WLFI) is making waves in decentralized finance, combining bold investments with a vision to establish a national digital asset stockpile. Highlighted by Arkham Intelligence on X, WLFI recently acquired 10.61 million TRON (TRX) worth $2.65 million and staked 4,700 ETH valued at $15 million. 

These moves, alongside its $380 million crypto treasury, underscore WLFI’s aggressive expansion strategy and its commitment to redefining compliant DeFi innovation. 

WLFI’s Growing Crypto Holdings

WLFI has solidified its position as a powerhouse in decentralized finance, amassing cryptocurrency holdings exceeding $380 million. The cornerstone of its portfolio is Ethereum and its derivatives, collectively valued at over $240 million. The platform’s Ethereum reserves include 55,802 ETH and 14,702 staked ETH (STETH), highlighting its strategic focus on Ethereum-based infrastructure. 

According to Datawallet, since late 2024, WLFI has strategically invested $220 million in leading digital assets, including ETH, wBTC, AAVE, LINK, ENA, and TRX. ETH and WBTC dominate its treasury, which has grown to nearly $380 million, thanks to the recent price surges of these core assets. 

WLFI’s recent acquisition of TRX has drawn attention, particularly in light of Justin Sun’s $30 million investment in WLFI weeks prior. While Ethereum and Bitcoin are fundamental to DeFi infrastructure, TRX’s inclusion has raised questions about its strategic value.

Strengthening Regulatory Framework and Adoption

The Trump brand has been instrumental in promoting WLFI, blending on-chain lending and borrowing with regulated, dollar-backed decentralized finance. The platform ensures compliance with Know Your Customer (KYC) regulations, making it a trusted alternative to traditional DeFi platforms. 

Adding to its momentum, Donald Trump’s executive order—signed just three days into his second term as U.S. president—has further elevated the sector. The order aims to establish regulatory clarity for digital financial technology and initiate a presidential working group on digital asset markets. 

Tokenomics and Fundraising Milestones

WLFI’s token sale has been a major success. Initially sold at $0.015 per token, the price surged to $0.05 during the sale’s relaunch, marking more than a threefold increase. The platform expanded the token supply by 25%, adding 5 billion new tokens to meet demand. This expansion could generate an additional $250 million if all tokens are sold.
