3. Trump jumps into DeFi with the World Liberty Financial project
In September 2024, Trump and his two sons launched a DeFi project named World Liberty Financial (WLFI). Just after 2 rounds of fundraising, the project raised over 500 million USD, including 75 million USD from Justin Sun – a rather controversial figure.
