World Liberty Financial (WLFI), a decentralized finance (DeFi) project with ties to the Trump family, has raked in a whopping $550 million from its latest token sales.
Token Sales Success, but with a Twist
The company sold $250 million worth of its WLFI tokens, following a previous $300 million sale in October. While initially promising to sell 63% of its tokens to the public, WLFI now states in its updated documentation that only 35% will be publicly available. Over 85,000 people went through a verification process to buy the tokens.
Troubled Investments?
Despite the successful sales, things aren’t looking so rosy for WLFI’s investments. Blockchain analysts have pointed out that the company’s portfolio of 11 different crypto assets is currently losing money, with losses totaling almost $120 million.
Trump’s Involvement
While the company clarifies that Donald Trump isn’t officially employed by WLFI, he’s listed as the “Chief Crypto Advocate.” An entity linked to Trump and his family holds a significant stake—22.5 billion WLFI tokens—and is set to receive fees from the project.
