In 2022, Trump issued NFTs with his personal IP and used NFTs as tickets for fan meet-and-greets. This move not only earned him 10 times his investment but also built a bridge between him and voters. Thus began his journey into cryptocurrency.
In 2024, Trump launched the DeFi project -- World Liberty Financial, which became a political tool linking Middle Eastern forces. Eventually, Sun Yuchen invested $75 million into WLFI, helping Trump earn around $400 million. After Trump's election, the SEC's lawsuit against Sun Yuchen was suspended, further corroborating whether Trump 'manipulated political tools to hijack the entire crypto circle.'

The core goal of WLFI is to combine traditional finance with the cryptocurrency world by providing dollar-backed stablecoins and on-chain lending services while complying with U.S. regulatory requirements (such as KYC verification). Its native token is used only for governance, does not have economic rights, cannot be traded or sold, and holders can participate in voting for protocol upgrades and strategic decisions.

🎯 The dollar stablecoin USD1 launched by WLFI has entered the DeFi ecosystem, with active market performance, and rapidly growing trading volume and market capitalization (for example, 24-hour trading volume reached $72 million, and market capitalization reached $128 million).


Looking at the development of WLFI, there has not been any particularly significant innovation; it leans more towards financial infrastructure, and exchanging currencies between different project parties reflects the mutual support among different powers.
Including VISA, Binance, and others are actively promoting stablecoin projects, but they also face varying degrees of political limitations. Each party hopes to seize the first-mover advantage in financial infrastructure.

After understanding the above project content, there may be a deeper understanding of today's news.

1⃣ Lista DAO and WLFI announced the establishment of a strategic partnership.
Lista DAO, as a leading LSDfi and CDP protocol on the BNB chain, has launched the USD1 lending pool and USD1/lisUSD liquidity pool through a strategic partnership with WLFI, with plans for deeper integration. This collaboration not only enhances the utility and market competitiveness of the two stablecoins, but also provides BNB chain users with diversified DeFi opportunities.

2⃣ On-chain data tracking shows that WLFI transferred approximately $4.54 million worth of crypto assets to an unknown wallet address on May 6, 2025. This includes $2.04 million in AVAX, $1.18 million in SEI, and $1.32 million in MOVE; among them, the MOVE tokens were subsequently transferred to the Ceffu custody wallet, while some assets (AVAX, SEI, and MOVE) were deposited in Falcon Finance as collateral to mint 2.023 million USDF (the stablecoin of Falcon Finance).
This reflects that the Trump family is actively deploying in the decentralized stablecoin track, using high liquidity USDF backed by quality assets, which also acknowledges @FalconStable.
Supplement: Falcon Finance is a synthetic dollar protocol that allows users to deposit various cryptocurrencies to receive and stake its USDF stablecoin for sUSDf, providing high returns (over 22%).

3⃣ Today, WLFI received 100% agreement in the community vote for an airdrop, showcasing the success of community governance and indicating the project party's long-term optimism about this project.

Referencing the success of the VISA card, and the similarities to the federal system in the United States, some successes require special historical conditions and political factors. Furthermore, Trump's series of real estate moguls has solidified the financial giants' reactions through political status, which may write a larger narrative in the future.

Setting aside national sentiments, investing in Trump is also about riding the political coattails.
