Major Fundraising Initiative Launched

World Liberty Financial, the cryptocurrency platform supported by former U.S. President Donald Trump and his family, is negotiating with major investors for a funding round valued at up to $1.5 billion. According to sources, the proceeds will be used to establish a publicly traded company specifically holding the platform’s token, $WLFI.

The Trump Family’s Crypto Footprint

Since its founding, World Liberty Financial has maintained close ties with the Trump family and was co-founded by Donald Trump Jr. and Eric Trump. Public estimates indicate that the platform has generated roughly $500 million in revenue for the Trump family since its launch.

Token Attributes and Regulatory Context

Unlike conventional securities, the $WLFI token is not classified as a security by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and therefore is not subject to the same regulatory requirements as stocks. This positioning allows World Liberty to operate within a more agile regulatory environment and has attracted significant interest from major players in the technology and crypto investment sectors.

Political and Economic Controversy

Despite rapid business growth, some economists and Democratic lawmakers in Congress have raised concerns over the Trump family’s involvement in the crypto industry. Eswar Prasad, an economist at Cornell University, remarked that the Trumps may be aiming to expand their presence in crypto assets ahead of any new regulatory initiatives, positioning themselves to benefit as crypto valuations rise.

Conclusion

If the $1.5 billion fundraising round is successful, World Liberty will further solidify its influence in the decentralized finance market. By leveraging the public company structure, World Liberty could boost $WLFI’s visibility and liquidity. However, with ongoing regulatory uncertainty, the project’s continued growth will need to navigate policy risks and market volatility.
