World Liberty Financial, a decentralized finance (DeFi) platform closely tied to the Trump family, confirmed that its native WLFI token is officially launching on the Ethereum (ETH) mainnet. The announcement marks a shift in WLFI’s trajectory, which began as a governance-only token and is now entering open circulation. The token generation event (TGE) is slated for September 1st, 2025, with spot trading expected to begin at 12:00 PM UTC. At launch, 20% of WLFI’s supply will be made transferable, with the remainder subject to community governance or longer vesting schedules WLFI’s emergence into the tradable market comes after WLF’s July governance vote, in which holders overwhelmingly approved making the token transferable – moving it beyond its original voting-only design. The launch also occurs amid WLFI’s broader strategy to stabilize token value via a $1.5 billion crypto-treasury initiative. The firm is building the treasury through a substantial capital in...

President Donald Trump’s new decentralized finance (DeFi) project is partnering with real-world asset (RWA) tokenization protocol Ondo Finance (ONDO) to boost RWA adoption. In a new thread on the social media platform X, the development team behind Ondo Finance says it’s collaborating with World Liberty Financial (WLFI) as a means of bringing traditional finance to the world of blockchains. According to Ondo, WLFI is adding Ondo’s tokenized assets – such as the stablecoin Ondo US Dollar Yield (USDY) and the Ondo Short-Term US Treasuries Fund (OUSG) – into its network as treasury reserve assets. Furthermore, WLFI is planning on integrating USDY, OUSG and other tokenized securities from Ondo’s upcoming global markets into its network as a means of enabling seamless borrowing, lending, and margin trading for eligible customers. “Through this collaboration, World Liberty Financial plans to become a strategic collaborator in Ondo’s ...

Tron founder Justin Sun bought $30 million worth of Donald Trump’s World Liberty Financial (WLFI) token in the last 24 hours, making him the largest investor in the decentralized finance (DeFI) project. “We are thrilled to invest $30 million in World Liberty Financial as its largest investor,” Sun said in a Nov. 25 post on X. “TRON is committed to making America great again.” Justin Sun Says Bitcoin “Owes It” To Trump In his post, Sun said “the U.S. is becoming the blockchain hub.” The Tron founder then attributed Bitcoin’s recent rise to Trump’s US presidential election victory, noting that investors anticipate more favorable crypto policies during Trump’s term. He subsequently said that BTC “owes it” to Trump. We are thrilled to invest $30 million in World Liberty Financial @worldlibertyfi as its largest investor. The U.S. is becoming the blockchain hub, and Bitcoin owes it to @realDonaldTrump! T...

Donald Trump’s family-run World Liberty Financial crypto project has reportedly lifted the code of a blockchain app that was previously hacked for $2 million. That’s according to a report from CoinDesk, which also reveals that the project lists Trump as its “Chief Crypto Advocate,” his two older sons Eric Trump and Donald Jr as “Web3 Ambassadors,” and his 18-year-old son Barron as a “DeFi visionary.” World Liberty Financial is apparently a borrowing and lending service that claims to highlight “the power of blockchain in an accessible way.” It also has its own non-transferable token called $WLFI which will be used for in-app governance.  However, the project looks eerily similar to a blockchain app called Dough Finance which lost $1.8 million in a flash loan attack back in July. Dough also has links to four of World Liberty Financial’s creators.  Screenshot from CoinDesk’s deputy managing editor showing Dough Finance (left) and World...
