Donald Trump Launches World Liberty Financial DeFi Platform
Donald Trump has ventured into the DeFi space with the introduction of World Liberty Financial, despite recent controversies. The launch of this new platform took place just hours ago.
World Liberty Financial is set to become a decentralized finance hub on the Ethereum blockchain, focusing on lending, borrowing, and earning interest on stablecoins. This initiative follows Trump’s previous involvement in NFTs and Trump-themed meme coins.
In a recent live broadcast, Trump announced that his sons, Donald Jr. and Eric, will play pivotal roles in the venture. Trump highlighted the importance of crypto, stating, “Whether we like it or not, I have to do it.”

The platform’s white paper reveals contributions from Steve Witkoff and AMG Software Solutions. Trump also introduced the WLFI token, which will be used exclusively for voting purposes and will not be tradable. The SEC will regulate the token, despite Trump’s criticism of its chairman.
The WLFI token sale will allocate 62.66% of the tokens to public investors, with additional portions reserved for future use and project team compensation. The platform has complied with all legal requirements, including KYC protocols, and will sell the token as an unregistered security under Rule 506(c).
