Trump’s $1.5B Crypto Power Play: World Liberty Eyes Public Debut with $WLFI 🚀💰
Donald Trump isn’t just campaigning for political dominance—he’s staking his claim in the crypto arena. World Liberty, the blockchain venture co-founded by Trump alongside Eric and Donald Jr., is reportedly courting heavyweight investors for a $1.5 billion funding round, according to Bloomberg News. The goal? Launch a public company to hold its flagship $WLFI tokens.
Since its debut, World Liberty has already funneled an estimated $500 million into the Trump family’s coffers, per Reuters’ calculations. The tokens—conveniently not classified as securities by the SEC—sidestep the intense regulatory glare faced by traditional investments. But the political and economic ripples are undeniable. Critics, including economists and Senate Democrats, warn of unprecedented conflicts of interest as Trump’s deregulatory policies could turbocharge the very market he’s invested in.
“Trump’s crypto play is both bold and troubling,” said Cornell economist Eswar Prasad. “This move locks in a massive foothold ahead of potential regulation that could send valuations soaring.”
Whether it’s savvy strategy or a conflict-laden gamble, one thing’s clear—the Trump brand isn’t just on the ballot, it’s on the blockchain.
