On September 1, WLFI, the governance token of the World Liberty Financial (WLFI) project, which was publicly supported by the Trump family, officially began trading on mainstream exchanges such as Binance and Coinbase. This incident attracted the attention of the global crypto market.As of press time, WLFI quoted 0.2901 on Binance, and the market value of FDV was about US$29 billion, with a maximum increase of 0.4780!
The following is an in-depth analysis of the cryptocurrency projects supported by the Trump family:
Project background and core architecture
WLFI was established in September 2024 and is a decentralized financial project.The core goal is to promote stablecoin application and strengthen the US dollar status, raised $550 million in funding through two rounds of sales for $0.015 and $0.05.
Founded by the guidance of real estate giant Steve Witkoff and his son Zach, co-founders include activists in cryptocurrency Chase Herro and Zak Folkman,The core goal is to promote the application of stablecoins and strengthen the US dollar’s status.
The Trump family plays a central role in the project, and Trump himself is listed as the “chief cryptocurrency advocate” and his sons Eric Trump and Donald Trump Jr. serve as “Web3 ambassadors”,The Trump family holds 22.5 billion WLFI tokens through the DT Marks DEFI LLC entity,Among them, Trump personally holds 15.75 billion.
WLFICore mechanism design
The core of the WLFI project lies in its “Tripe” design structure:
A solid foundation for financial: USD1, a stablecoin within the WLFI ecosystem, is backed 100% by high-credit real-world assets (RWA), of which approximately 85% are government money market funds.The reserves are the responsibility of BitGo, a custodian under the supervision of the United States, and WLFI serves as the brand only.
Unique market game mechanism:Nasdaq-listed ALT5 Sigma promises to acquire up to $750 million in WLFI tokens, and the acquisition “has no specific time and price restrictions.”This is considered a “strategic arsenal” of the project and can be used to stabilize prices when markets fluctuate.
Macro-narrative value:WLFI is seen as a model for showing “U.S. compliance innovation” to regulators globally, and this identity bound to regulatory orientation gives it a premium of “regulatory certainty”.
Token Release Strategy andInvestor structure expectations
The activation and distribution of WLFI tokens follow a strictly controlled two-step process, early investors can sell up to 20% of their token holdings, and the remaining part still needs to be locked.This liquidity restriction is regarded as a “regular circulation management strategy” and aims to stabilize prices by controlling early selling pressure.
First batchOnly20% of sold tokens can be unlocked and transferred at the start of the transaction, accounting for approximately 5% of the total supply, the tokens held by the founding team, consultants and partners will remain locked.
WLFI’s investor list brings together capital and industry influence. In addition to the Trump family entity, Tron founder Justin Sun is one of the largest independent investors in the project.
Web3 native fund Aqua1 Fund announces strategic acquisition of $100 million WLFI, replacing Justin Sun as one of the largest external coin holding addresses, Abu Dhabi’s market maker DWF Labs also spent US$25 million to purchase the token.
The launch of WLFI token trading has had a chain reaction to the DeFi market. With the listing of the token, this project that integrates political influence and encryption technology is waiting for the market to use real money to test its value.
Whether seen as innovation or a “state-supported Ponzi scheme”,The WLFI project has its unique structural design – extremely thin circulation, huge treasury capital, and the mechanism of continuous buying pressure to convert real-world returns into tokens themselves———It has become an existence that cannot be ignored in the crypto market.
