WLF

NatalieMichaael

Based on what I’m reading, this could be a deal that marks a new chapter for USD1. If WLF wants their stablecoin to be competitive they need a serious market maker, and DWF seems like the right mm for the job.

WLF needs exit liquidity for all the ETH they stacked Q1

Odd_Warthog_1965

Their real holdings could easily be elsewhere and these known wallets for WLF are just for misdirection. WLF apparently bought LINK in the 20s a few months ago, and then that other loser kid of his said good time to buy ETH when it was around what, 2500. They were likely selling everything right around then from other wallets, and maybe loading now while WLF is selling.

I don’t disagree with you overall, the problem is in order to move away from the jenga tower and bring liquidity to legit projects, at some point you have to rehab the image of the space overall for the large portion of potential retail buyers who are yet to enter the space. Those of us already in the space recognize the difference between legit projects and memes/scams, but far too many people have no concept of how large the space actually is and how it’s entirely possible to invest in crypto without touching scams. The absolute last thing crypto needed was the President to tweet an obvious scam coin, rug his supporters, then do the same thing again hours later. Not only did it impact credibility of the space, it withdrew a shit ton of liquidity from legit projects which is now primarily being hoarded by a handful of insiders who may not even reinvest it in crypto. And it’s not just $Trump and $Melania. The “crypto summit” was a disaster, largely because Trump is incapable of just saying what he’s supposed to say without then immediately appending some stupid bullshit. The “strategic reserve” has been a whole lot of hype for nothing, and it couldn’t be more obvious his sons are just using WLF to buy up coins so they can tweet about them then dump on copy traders. And all while tanking the overall market so badly that even if none of the above was true, crypto would probably still be struggling anyway. At this point we would legit have been better off just electing someone who would continue to say nothing about crypto but at least not actively go out of their way to damage its perception.

Opposite-Car2809

DONT LOSE UR HOPE ON ETH JUST YET! Think like this, Trump's WLF's biggest holding is ETH, and they are losing badly, we all fucking know trump is a business man and he is selfish, do u think he can sit and watch eth go to zero? absolutly no!

csfrayer

This tech isn't ready for primetime and this bill is at best 1) going to be chaotic as everyone tries to force adoption and 2) ultimately be black eye for crypto when consumers get screwed and don't have any of the laws that protect debit and credit card users. I can't decide if it was scary or funny that news Trump/WLF is talking to Binance on a stablecoin broke DURING THIS MARKUP.

Proud-Researcher9146

This is exactly why execution models matter. When insiders control the flow of liquidity, they can time their moves perfectly, using retail as exit liquidity while still pushing a bullish narrative. The WLF losses don’t mean much if they already profited from earlier pumps or if they’re just positioning for the next cycle. Until markets shift away from CLOB-style execution, this kind of manipulation will keep happening.

OstrichRealistic5033

He is even buying some other altcoins like MOVE and AVAX for himself and his family members through the WLF DeFi Protocol.

mrjune2040

If you're basing any buy/hold activity on what WLF is doing then you're the one getting shilled imo. It's an exchange that doesn't even function yet and it's run by serial grifters. 'Strategic token reserve' my ass.

KevinshahS

Been watching $OM for months. Sun getting in is a huge signal. His timing with WLF was perfect, might be seeing the same potential with RWAs. Definitely adding to my watchlist!

xtra_clueless

Seems this space has been taken over by a bunch of delusional teenagers that believe that Trump is going to pump their bags to the moon. USA buying 200.000 BTC for strategic reserve? 0% capital gains tax on crypto? WLF buying ETH means Trump will pump its price? No rumor is too far fetched, not to be believed by the desperate bagholders.

OstrichRealistic5033

>American made cryptos are likely to be free of capital gains taxes If this is the case, MOVE token will also be beneficiary as the Trump family keeps adding it to the family reserve through the WLF DeFi protocol.

RefrigeratorLow1259

This stinks - especially since WLF have a seat at the WH meeting later...insider knowledge.

rhin0man7

Ok but why is WLF buying so much? There has to be a reason no?

xtra_clueless

Generally I think people read too much into whatever WLF is doing. It's not owned or run by Trump & sons directly, they just profit from it as paid advisors. Trump does not really care or understand crypto, though he's obviously always happy to make an extra buck. His tariffs are way more important to him than anything crypto. I don't believe that anything he's doing on the big political stage is done to extract money from crypto. E.g. he's not crashing the economy so he can buy cheap BTC or ETH or whatever big scheme people think is behind this. This guy does not play 4D chess, indeed he's very forthright with his plans, you could call it 1D chess. So yeah, I don't think tracking the buys or sells of WLF gives much insight about what will happen next.

mrjune2040

JFC- what a grift, they have a WLF rep speaking. Lmao

Healthy_Chemistry_71

Trump litterally at this point rugged $TRUMP $MELANIE $LIBRA and lets some ginger and president take the fall for it while his WLF portfolio went from 200m to 500m back to 200m lol

Ki11u4

I think this is the perfect storm for ETH to shine. It has been massively oversold, WLF has been stacking a ton of it and it is going to be at the heart of the crypto reserve. If it doesn't close on 4000$ now it won't in a long long time.

JustStopppingBye

The funnier part is WLF, holds none of these shitcoins

TJ-hakdog

WLF coins = 🚀🌕

slushkan3an

maybe ETH too since Orangutan's WLF has been loading up on it?

PMmeuroneweirdtrick

After all Trumps WLF holds about $400mill in crypto and they're down 35%. No doubt they're going to want to pump those bags.

HorsePockets

He's touched a lot of Bitcoin and Ethereum with WLF...

Leafan1976

I'd look into ONDO as well. Trump's WLF has invested in them already They will be big players in the Tokenization of BlackRock assets and the stock market.

iceberg034

With Trumps WLF buying up Ethereum I’d say there’s something brewing.

jawni

>Still primarily they want ETH. lets see how long that lasts, tides are turning. >Trump is not all in ETH for no reason. He launched a shitcoin on SOL and keeps buying more ETH. when WLF buying ETH is your best counter-point, you know you're desperate.

mrjune2040

Lmao. Bitcoin sure as shit doesn't need WLF to 'bolster it'.

ThriceHawk

Pretty much everything tied to crypto uses Chainlink (LINK). Coinbase uses them, XRP uses them, HBAR is partnered with them, AAVE and basically all of Defi uses them. Same with TradFi now. They're partnered with SWIFT and are going in production this year for their 11,500 financial institutions. Partnered with Fidelity, US Bank, Citi, JP Morgan, Franklink Templeton, BNY Melon, USB, BNP Paribas, ANZ, etc. Trump's WLF uses them and has purchased millions of LINK. The central bank of Brazil is using them alongside Microsoft for their CBDC. The list goes on and on. That's a network effect that outpaces almost every other crypto out there and should last a long time.

ThatChrisGuy7

Good sign? Speaking of good signs it’s actually good WLF just put good $ into it. Good tech

Reminder: - The Trumps have not put any of their money in crypto. They are collecting money including ETH, USDT, USDC, etc by selling WLFI tokens and also memecoins - Donald Trump has bankrupted 6 casinos and now has made Ethereum his casino - $WLFI is run Chase Herro Zachary Folkman who previously ranDough Finance a fork of AAVE that was hacked for $1.8M in July 2024 and went bankrupt. - Justin Sun is the biggest investor of WLFI. He's purchased $75 Million of $WLFI. - $WLFI is Non-Transferable. All $WLFI will be non-transferable and locked indefinitely in a wallet or smart contract. You should think of your purchase of Tokens like other non-refundable purchases of goods and services and accept the risk that once you’ve paid the purchase price, your interest in the Token may decline and you have no expectation of resale of the Token. - $WLFI gives you no governance rights. The $WLFI Token and WLF Governance Platform are distinct from WLF Protocol. The Token does not provide any economic or other rights with respect to the WLF Protocol or otherwise.

Just waiting until they acquire $Glue.  It's the L1 of their security advisor Ogle which just launched. $10 mil market cap atm since it's not fully operational and nobody knows about it. This will make me retire early.

tldr; World Liberty Financial (WLF) plans to create a strategic token reserve to expand its crypto holdings, as revealed by co-founder Chase Herro at Ondo Finance's inaugural summit. The Trump-backed company has been actively acquiring various cryptocurrencies, including ONDO and ETH, and aims to establish a digital asset token reserve. The initiative aligns with the Trump administration's pro-crypto stance, indicating the growing importance of the crypto industry in shaping the US economy. WLF's operations currently focus on acquiring crypto tokens. *This summary is auto generated by a bot and not meant to replace reading the original article. As always, DYOR.

Bighomie1037391

I’ll tell you that right now the “plan” that’s going on behind the scenes seems to be to digitize the whole economy and use WLF to transact across the globe. That’s what I believe they believe they are doing. That’s why we are seeing these pushes toward all this bitcoin legislation and hearing about all these supposed “big things” coming. What has not happened yet, that I predict.. is the falling out between the ethereum founder and trump which will change this plan.. and cause it to be a different token and blockchain that this plan proceeds forward with. Don’t ask me for sources.. this is 100% my intuition of what I’m seeing going on.

kirtash93

WLF is buying ETH like a degen.

cryptolipto

You guys are blowing this off when you really shouldn’t be. They’re gonna pump their own bags basically So yes bitcoin. But also Ethereum. And probably WLF once it launches and then a few others that “play nice” Stop being cynical and see it as an opportunity to front run the government purchase of digital assets

ieatmoondust

WLF needs more time to accumulate.

LipTicklers

WLF buying wth before this is the reason im 60% ETH, 20% Solana and down to 20% BTC

TanTanWok

Same I don't give a fuck stocks look like shit Bitcoin doesn't, 21 million, pro crypto government, might be a massive wealth transfer to crypto people. WLF is still buying eth and BTC. MSTR ain't going to stop buying.

JustStopppingBye

WLF is an instance of AAVE and uses chainlink oracles. A flash loan attack will never occur.

admin_default

This. And Trump’s WLF is just the icing on the cake. Visa, BlackRock, Deutsche Bank, Stripe, SWIFT, VanEck, Sony, Samsung and so many more institutions are building on Ethereum. ETH is totally dominating the industry. Nothing else is remotely close. Crypto traders will figure it out only after it’s too late.

ptboathome

What impact does this potentially have on the WLF token? It's at .05c now. Where does it go from here?

Instantbeef

I dislike how eth and any and all crypto associated with this guys feels like it’s turning into blood money Whatever they’re planning with WLF they are going to do it with the purpose of pumping their own bags. Abusing the power of President to get richer. Anti crypto people will say all crypto is like that so don’t bother commenting if that’s all you have to say. I believe Ethereum is a crypto that is relatively without sin. Same with BTC

tldr; World Liberty Financial (WLF), linked to Donald Trump, has accumulated $370.4 million in crypto assets across 44 cryptocurrencies, including PEPE and USDC. This accumulation reflects a strategy to influence decentralized finance (DeFi) and aligns with Trump's vision for the U.S. to lead in cryptocurrency innovation. Key holdings include ETH, WBTC, and stETH. Tron founder Justin Sun has invested $75 million in WLF, making him the largest investor. WLF plans to acquire Tron tokens and has seen significant demand for its WLFI governance tokens. *This summary is auto generated by a bot and not meant to replace reading the original article.

still_salty_22

It seems like theres fewer reasons why it would, so i wonder what WLF sees in it...

LifeReboot___

It's basically the same shit, he launched WLF on Ethereum and Trump Melania on Solana. Basically he created shit tokens on both platform and ultimately got a bunch of the native coin of both platform, ETH and SOL. And judging by the sales volume they indeed have more Solana than Ethereum.

LifeReboot___

It's sad whenever people talk about WLF always mentioned trump didn't bought Solana, trump probably owns 10 times more in Solana from the sales of his trump melainia coin, there's no need to buy more.

HorsePockets

Garlinghouse has been shoving money in those pockets and then Trump launch a memecoin on Solana and built WLF on Ethereum. Not even the Trumps are interested in it.

nothing_and_new

WLF holds more than $210M in ETH. Trump personally also more than 2 Millions. I first heard about it on CT, also about Whales buying ETH. If you are interested watch today's video of Coin Bureau which are no shillers but fact driven. General source is data on Blockchain.

Admirral

They aren't buying ETH. Investigate the transactions and you will see all that ETH coming (which is all in small amounts) is entering via a "buy" function. So presumably people are buying into a WLF token sale, hence the accumulation of ETH. Whether those are real buys and not disguised buys by the Trump family to launder money no one will know.

dpxlumpi

WLF is just some random sketchy company that lists Trump and his family as some kind of “advisors” on their website, what gives you the impression that it’s him buying? Dude is a grifter and probably gets paid well by this company, it’s not like he can give them any meaningful advice on DeFi lol

Cassius23

Don't just look at the ETH. Zoom out and look at all of WLF's holdings. $AAVE, $LINK, $ETH. $AAVE for the lending infrastructure $LINK for the price data to prevent excessive arbitrage $ETH starting collateral to pair with stablecoins. Read their promotional material. They are starting an AAVE instance rooted in ETH using $LINK for pricing. I'm sure they are doing more on top of that, likely multiple investment options, but that fits the data. DYOR, NFA of course.

gsnurr3

What wallets of Trump do we know of? I just have the one WLF wallet at the moment. I imagine there have to be others.

andymaclean19

If WLF is acting on some inside knowledge about policy which has not been enacted yet that would be insider trading wouldn’t it? Perhaps they are actually airgapped and just making investments because they think eth is undervalued right now?

All these coins noticably bought by World Liberty Financial... World Liberty Financial bought some Ondo a few days ago. Ondo and WLF partnership incoming?

ThriceHawk

LINK. Bitcoin introduced blockchain technology and won as the first major digital asset. Ethereum introduced smart contracts and lead as the major layer 1, enabling decentralizex applications. Chainlink has already won as the layer 0, oracle network that connects decentralized apps to existing systems / data. All of the major financial institutions are partnering with them and calling Chainlink key to what they're doing. Swift, the DTCC, Citi, JP Morgan, Fidelity, Euroclear, USB, the central bank of Brazil, US Bank, BNP Paribas, Trump's WLF, on and on. Yet LINK hasn't quite had it's BTC/ETH major run up to the top 3 where it belongs.

ThriceHawk

I'd honestly love to see anyone find a project in crypto more crucial, with more large name partnerships. It should be top 3. It's already securing almost all of DeFi. Coinbase just partnered with them. Trump's WLF just partnered with them, and just bought up $2M in LINK. Swift, who provides the main messaging network through which international payments are initiated for 11,500 of the largest financial institutions in the world, is in pre-production with them. Going into production next year. The Central Bank of Brazil has announced they're using Chainlink and Microsoft for their CBDC. Partnerships with Fidelity, Euroclear, USB, JP Morgan, Franklin Templeton, ANZ, US Bank, BNP Paribas, BNY Mellon, Citi... on and on.

ylangbango123

Everyone including Chinese, Russians, Iranians, mafia, etc will be buying Trump's WLF crypto.

ylangbango123

Why are people not talking about Trump 's crypto WLF?

JustStopppingBye

>From your perspective, ignoring WLFI, is there any value in owning a currency related to an AAVE lending platform? Any smart contract platform including Defi protocols require oracles because they need off chain data. I choose to invest in chainlink because it exposes me to any protocol using chainlink oracles. > Im seeing that Justin Sun just bought $30m worth of WLFI. Probably wants exposure, but I have a good idea why. [https://cointelegraph.com/news/tron-partners-chainlink-defi-expansion](https://cointelegraph.com/news/tron-partners-chainlink-defi-expansion) A month or so ago, Justin gave complete control over to chainlink and dropped their own oracle provider (WINkLink). They also joined chainlink [SCALE](https://chainlinktoday.com/tron-dao-joins-chainlink-scale-to-secure-6-5-billion-in-tron-defi-tvl-with-chainlink-data-feeds/) to accelerate the growth of their network by getting enhanced access to chainlinks services. This also means theyll be integrating CCIP, which is chainlinks flag ship cross chain protocol already integrated by AAVE and future potential large FMIs (swift DTCC etc will be in 2025). CCIP enables ETH and all its L2's to act as one big liquidity pool. More traffic for WLF, means more money for AAVE, which means potentially more money for anything connected to CCIP.

SalteeKibosh

I wasn't trying to be funny. WLF is a HONEYPOT. Nobody should "buy" this shit because you will lose 100% of your "investment." OP said he read the whitepaper (goldpaper) and he should have seen that it's not transferable. It's a scam and expecting to get rich off the coattails of a narcisistic conman is wishful thinking. You want funny? Here's a good one: How do you bring a republican to their knees? Paint your dick orange.

ThriceHawk

If someone is invested in XRP, but not LINK... Can you explain why? I've tried being objective and following each project... I'm invested in a number of different ones... But Chainlink is constantly being announced in massive integrations. Way more than others. They are in pre-production with Swift, with actual production slated for 2025... partnering with Citi, Fidelity, BNP Paribas, BNY Melon, Euroclear, the freaking DTCC.... Brazil's central bank just announced they're partnering with Microsoft and Chainlink for their CBDC. Even from a political perspective... the Trump backed WLF just integrated Chainlink. It was retweeted by Eric and Donald Trump Jr. Someone make it make sense.

JustStopppingBye

Its like they almost do it on purpose to distract the public. You make up some bullshit theory about Cardano possibly working with trump (with no proof) to hide the actual news of WLF integrating chainlink and Don Trump jr tweeting about chainlink. It seems to me that Sergey would be more likely to work with Trump law makers than Charles.

JustStopppingBye

WLF integrated chainlink not the other way around. Anyone can use chainlink services.

GreedVault

Charles Hoskinson may be becoming Trump's crypto advisor, I wonder what his stance is on Trump's WLF now.

ThatChrisGuy7

I’m saying him putting in the 100% trade tariffs on those countries that do not back the US dollar, and his tax cuts go against what he’s running on. It’ll just strengthen it. Also.. this new Donald trump jr WLF token was a disaster. Can’t even sell it lol

curiocabinet

Elsewhere in the "gold paper" and on the WLF website it says it requires "US purchasers \[to\] qualify as “accredited investors” as defined in Regulation D promulgated under the" Securities Act. Which is it??

jawni

[It's 100% available to US if you're accredited, like I said.](https://www.worldlibertyfinancial.com/jurisdiction) >EXPLORE WLFI TOKEN >Begin by selecting your jurisdiction of residence: >Please select one of the following options to proceed: >I live in the US By clicking this button, you certify that you (i) are a US Person as defined in Rule 902(k) of Regulation S under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933 and (ii) meet the requirements to be deemed an “accredited investor” as defined under Regulation D under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933. >I live outside the US By clicking this button, you certify that you are (i) not a U.S. Person as defined in Rule 902(k) of Regulation S under the Securities Act of 1933, (ii) not accessing this site for the account or benefit of any such U.S. Person and (iii) not accessing this site from the United States. Then you click "I live in the US" and it says: >THE TOKENS HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED WITH ANY U.S. OR OTHER AUTHORITY AND ARE ONLY OFFERED IN THE UNITED STATES TO PERSONS WHO QUALIFY AS ACCREDITED INVESTORS. And it gives you options to buy. https://www.worldlibertyfinancial.com/us/token-sale-terms-and-conditions I really don't give a shit about Trump or WLF, I'm just so sick of people doubling down on misinformation in this sub. There are plenty of legitimate reasons to not like this project, so don't muddy those waters by trying to fabricate something else.

jawni

umm, anyone buying WLF had to KYC so they are *definitely* trackable in both cases.

jawni

That doesn't seem right based on what I'm seeing and that doesn't necessarily mean Iran and Russia investors are allowed. What are you seeing that says US investors are prohibited? Because all I see is that US investors have to be accredited. > Each purchaser of $WLFI will be screened using KYC and verification processes for eligibility to participate, including to ensure that no specially designated nationals or other persons sanctioned by FinCen arepermitted to purchase $WLFI. **WLF does not consider $WLFI tokens to be deemed securities, but WLF plans to require that all US purchasers qualify as “accredited investors” as defined in Regulation D promulgated under the United States Securities Act of 1933**, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and required to provide information to reasonably verify that status under Regulation D, and to require for any token sale outside of the United States that all purchasers are non-US persons under Regulation S promulgated under the Securities Act. The tokens have not been registered with and U.S. or other authority. https://static.worldlibertyfinancial.com/docs/intl/gold-paper.pdf From CoinDesk: https://www.coindesk.com/markets/2024/10/14/trump-backed-world-liberty-financial-whitelists-100k-accredited-investors-ahead-of-wlfi-launch/ >The Trump family-backed World Liberty Financial has whitelisted over 100,000 accredited U.S. investors ahead of its Tuesday token launch, the project said in an X spaces on Monday.

jawni

>thats the problem with a grifter like Trump, he will say anything to get elected but there's no way of knowing if he will deliver. Based on all the available context, all signs point to him being very crypto friendly if reelected. The only thing working against that is his penchant for lying. But it wouldn't make sense for him to lie about his support for something he appears to genuinely think would be beneficial for the US(and arguably more important, to him). When he was president, he disliked crypto seemingly because he saw it as a threat to the dollar... did anyone assume he was lying when he said this? No, because it was congruent with what an old and out of touch president would say. That's why I find it so weird that people assume he's lying now... especially weird when he's even doubling down on his own involvement with the launch of WLF. Why would people expect him to launch a defi protocol within a month of the election and then turn on crypto once elected? Like... what is the supposed thought process of people that expect that? Where is the logic beyond "he lies alot, so I can pick and choose which things he says are actually true"?
