World Liberty Financial Shifts Strategy with $112.8 Million Crypto Investment

World Liberty Financial (WLFI), a decentralized finance (DeFi) project associated with the Trump family, has made significant moves to diversify its Treasury.

The project, which has been advised by family members of President Donald Trump, has recently shifted focus from stablecoins to more speculative assets, investing in a variety of cryptocurrencies ahead of the President’s inauguration.

According to on-chain data, World Liberty Financial acquired up to $112.8 million worth of cryptocurrencies, including Ethereum (ETH), Chainlink (LINK), Aave (AAVE), TRON (TRX), and ENA tokens. The purchases, which occurred within hours, are reportedly linked to the number 47 in celebration of Donald Trump becoming the 47th U.S. President.

The Trump family has publicly supported World Liberty Financial on social media, with Donald Trump taking on the title of “Chief Crypto Advocate.” His sons, Eric Trump and Donald Trump Jr., have been named “Web3 Ambassadors,” while Barron Trump is designated as “DeFi Visionary.”

In addition to the Trump family’s involvement, TRON DAO, led by cryptocurrency entrepreneur Justin Sun, has also invested heavily in WLFI. The DAO invested $15 million to acquire 1 billion WLFI tokens, increasing its total holdings to 3 billion tokens, worth around $45 million. Sun has indicated plans to raise TRON DAO’s investment in the project to $75 million.

Despite its growing portfolio, World Liberty Financial has yet to acquire the Trump family’s meme coins, Official Trump (TRUMP) and Official Melania Meme (MELANIA), which have recently gained attention in the crypto community.
