During remarks on Sept. 16, Trump added that crypto is “big and yet it’s a fledgling compared to what it will be…my children opened my eyes.”

Donald Trump Family Crypto Project Is A DeFi Platform

Trump’s team confirmed that World Liberty Financial is a DeFi platform where users can borrow, lend, and earn interest using cryptocurrencies. As a result, it operates outside the confines of traditional finance.

Its WLFI token will be non-transferable and will not provide any economic rights. The team added that it wants buyers willing to take governance roles, not those seeking financial returns. The token will be non-transferable and non-yield bearing.

Based on its tokenomics, 63% of WLFI’s tokens will be sold to the public, 17% for user rewards, and 20% for team compensation.

The project’s whitepaper reportedly says the platform will be built on top of Aave and the Ethereum blockchain, and will center around a “credit account system.”

A Push To Protect The Dollar’s Dominance Through Fiat-Backed Stablecoins

The Trump family has said it aims to bolster the global dominance of the US dollar, which it believes is “under attack,” through the World Liberty Financial platform.

“By spreading U.S.-pegged stablecoins around the world, we ensure that the U.S. dollar’s dominance continues, securing America’s financial leadership and influence on the global stage,” the project said in a Sept. 4 thread on X.
