The DeFi platform, built on Ethereum, intends to raise $300 million by selling governance tokens. Users will be able to vote votes on the platform’s future course via the tokens. Zachary Folkman and Chase Herro are the project’s leaders of the WLFI project. They have previously worked with Dough Finance, a DeFi platform that experienced a serious security breach in July.

World Liberty Financial’s governance token, WLFI, will be sold at a valuation of $1.5 billion. The token grants holders a say in the project’s development. The platform will provide borrowing and lending services for Ethereum-based digital assets, including ether, wrapped bitcoin, and stablecoins. According to the project founders, WLFI will influence how liquidity is maintained on the platform.
The token sale is limited to accredited investors in the United States, as defined by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). Investors must meet a minimum net worth of $1 million or have an income of at least $200,000 annually. However, the project hopes to eventually make the sale available to all American investors.
Polls Show Trump Leading
As World Liberty Financial prepares to launch its token sale, Donald Trump is leading in several key presidential polls. According to Polymarket, Trump has a 54.8% chance of winning compared to Kamala, which has a 44.9% chance.
Additionally, the former president is now ahead in swing states, including Pennsylvania, Georgia, and Arizona, which might be crucial for the election. Trump’s crypto-friendly approach has contributed to his rise in the polls.
Recently, Ripple co-founder Chris Larsen donated $1 million in XRP to Kamala Harris’ campaign. Crypto donations like this are shaping election fundraising, highlighting the growing influence of digital currencies in politics.
Project Launch and Future Goals
World Liberty Financial intends to make decentralized finance more accessible to a wider audience. It intends to use the proceeds from its token sale to fund more upgrades. The initiative will be deployed on the Aave v3 platform.
The project is open to investors who joined the list in September. The white paper allows accredited investors to secure early access to the token sale. As the token sale begins, all eyes are on how the initiative will perform, particularly as Trump’s political future depends on the November elections.
