In September 2024, newly elected U.S. President Donald Trump launched an ambitious cryptocurrency project, World Liberty Financial (WLFI), aimed at developing decentralized financial services. During its brief existence, the project has already made significant investments in crypto assets totaling approximately $65 million, focusing primarily on the Ethereum ecosystem.
A key investment direction has been the Ethena (ENA) platform, which offers stable financial instruments on the Ethereum network and ensures transparency in DeFi operations. A substantial portion of funds was also directed toward Chainlink (LINK) – a decentralized oracle network that became WLFI's strategic partner in November, significantly expanding the project's capabilities.
Special attention in the investment portfolio has been given to decentralized lending platforms. These include Ondo Finance (ONDO), which specializes in risk management and liquidity provision, and Aave (AAVE) – one of the market leaders in crypto lending, known for its innovative solutions in flash loans.
To ensure maximum integration with the existing crypto ecosystem, WLFI has invested in Coinbase Wrapped Bitcoin (cbBTC) – a tokenized version of Bitcoin on the Ethereum blockchain – as well as in Ethereum (ETH) itself and its wrapped version (WETH). These investments create a solid foundation for developing decentralized financial services on the World Liberty Financial platform.
