Last year, the firm outlined plans for a crypto-lending app and currently issues USD1, a dollar-backed stablecoin that was used to facilitate MGX’s $2 billion investment in Binance. $WLFI tokens, initially launched as non-transferable governance assets, are expected to become tradable
The move would see World Liberty Financial join a growing number of cryptocurrency treasury firms, which have been issuing debt and equity to accumulate millions worth of various tokens. $WLFI itself already has a diversified token portfolio.
Trump has adopted numerous pro-crypto policies, having just this week signed an executive order letting 401(k) retirement plans invest in alternative assets, including private equity and cryptocurrency.
