What is $30 million for a person who can afford to buy a banana for $6.24 million? Recently, Donald Trump’s cryptocurrency platform World Liberty Financial (WLFI) received funding from the crypto-billionaire and TRON blockchain founder Justin Sun. He purchased WLFI tokens worth $30 million and is now its largest investor.
“We are excited to invest $30 million in World Liberty Financial as one of the largest investors. The USA is becoming a blockchain hub, and bitcoin owes this to Donald Trump! TRON aims to make America great again and be a leader in innovation. Forward!” — wrote Sun on X.
The World Liberty Financial project, which launched in September 2024, was aimed at decentralized financial services, including lending and loans. However, the sales of WLFI platform tokens turned out to be disappointing — instead of the planned $300 million, only $21 million was raised. The main reasons for such a slow start were restrictions on token purchases: participation was allowed only for international investors and accredited investors in the USA. Moreover, WLFI tokens could not be sold on the market.
Thanks to this deal, sales of WLFI tokens finally exceeded the $30 million mark — just the amount needed for Donald Trump’s company to start making profits.
