  • WLFI raised $1 billion by selling tokens to fund TRUMP and MELANIA launches.  
  • Investor backing and new assets made WLFI stronger and expanded its portfolio.  
  • TRUMP token surges in value as World Liberty Financial stakes millions of dollars in Ethereum.

World Liberty Financial (WLF), led by Donald Trump as its chief crypto advocate, has made waves in the cryptocurrency industry. Established in 2024, WLF launched TRUMP and MELANIA tokens, leveraging strategic funding and the Trump brand to dominate decentralized finance (DeFi).  

Before the 2024 U.S. presidential election, WLF raised $1 billion through token sales, exceeding expectations. Responding to overwhelming demand, the platform announced the release of an additional 5 billion tokens from its 100 billion supply. 

This influx of capital laid the groundwork for the $TRUMP and $MELANIA tokens, with TRUMP peaking at $11 billion in market capitalization. Simultaneously, Melania Trump’s MELANIA token enhanced WLF’s visibility in the cryptocurrency space.  

Strategic Alliances and Expanding Investments  

WLF built credibility by forming strategic alliances and attracting notable investors. Cryptocurrency entrepreneur Justin Sun invested $75 million, bringing a network of influential connections to the platform.  

According to data extracted from Arkham, on January 25, 2025, WLF expanded its cryptocurrency holdings with huge acquisitions. It purchased 3,001 Ether and 95 Wrapped Bitcoin through Cow Protocol, spending $20 million. Additionally, WLF staked 4,700 Ether worth $15.64 million through Lido Finance, raising its staked Ether holdings to 19,403, valued at $64.45 million.  

The day before, WLF acquired 3,079 Ether, valued at $10 million, and 10.61 million TRON tokens worth $2.65 million. These strategic additions brought its assets to 55,625 Ether and 40.72 million TRON tokens, demonstrating aggressive portfolio growth.

Market Dynamics and Token Performance  

WLF’s cryptocurrency strategy highlighted the balance between innovation and volatility. After the launch, the $TRUMP token experienced significant fluctuations, drawing attention to the market’s unpredictable nature.  

On Donald Trump’s inauguration day, WLF gained traction by investing $112.8 million in various cryptocurrencies. The portfolio included $47 million in Ether and Wrapped Bitcoin and $4.7 million in AAVE, LINK, TRX, and ENA tokens.  

Meanwhile, the platform’s $WLFI token presale raised $380 million, with its price surging 230% from $0.015 to $0.05 between stages. Early investors saw unrealized profits, further bolstering WLF’s reputation as a dominant player in DeFi.
