The Republican presidential candidate, who claims he will be the first “crypto president”, publicly supported the World Liberty Financial project on X shortly after its WLFI token went on sale. Trump holds the role of “chief crypto advocate” at World Liberty Financial, while his son Barron is named as the project’s “DeFi visionary”. Influenced by the original bitcoin white paper, World Liberty Financial published a “gold paper” on Tuesday that outlined the project. “World Liberty Financial, inspired by the vision of Donald J. Trump, is intended to be more than a decentralised finance platform: it’s a movement to help secure the future of the US Dollar in a digital world, without succumbing to the centralised control of Central Bank Digital Currencies,” the paper claimed.
