Trump

Former US President Donald Trump recently announced the launch of a new cryptocurrency called “WLFI,” short for “World Liberty Financial.” The coin went on sale on October 17, 2024, as part of Trump’s Decentralized Finance (DeFi) initiative in collaboration with his family.

After its launch, the coin saw a huge surge in value, rising from a few cents to $33.87, before falling to $26 with a market cap of over $5 billion.

In the following weeks, the coin’s value fell by 75% from its peak, raising questions about the project’s continued success amid market volatility.

As of January 28, 2025, the coin was priced at around $25.95.

It is worth noting that the coin generated between $86 million and $100 million in trading fees as of January 30, 2025.
