World Liberty Financial increased its cryptocurrency holdings by $103 million after Sun increased its support
World Liberty Financial (WLFI), the DeFi platform linked to President Donald Trump, has made an aggressive push to diversify its cryptocurrency portfolio, spending more than $103 million on a mix of established and emerging digital assets.
The acquisitions of WLFI represent a significant escalation of its activity since the conclusion of a successful pre-sale, which raised $30 million and sold 20% of its token supply.
Leveraging its newly secured capital, the platform has moved quickly to strengthen its position in both established cryptocurrencies and promising blockchain projects.
Portfolio diversification
According to the blockchain analytics platform Spot on the chainWLFI acquired 19.3 million TRX for $4.7 million USD, 13,261 AAVE for $4.7 million USD, and 177,928 LINK for $4.7 million USD in one wave of transactions.
In addition to these well-known assets, the platform has invested $32.8 million in 7,022 SETI, $18.8 million in 7,413 SWEAT, and $14.7 million in 5,037 territories in the MENA region.
Meanwhile, Ethereum remains the cornerstone of WLFI’s holdings, with the total ETH balance now exceeding 47,000 ETH – worth $158 million.
These acquisitions reflect a dual strategy: deepening exposure to existing coins while betting on the growth potential of lesser-known emerging tokens. Spot On Chain said the purchases are part of a broader strategy to expand WLFI’s market footprint and capitalize on opportunities across the cryptocurrency ecosystem.
The increase in acquisitions highlights WLFI’s ambition to consolidate itself as a major player in the digital assets space. The timing of these investments coincides with renewed interest in the platform, fueled by Trump’s recent announcement of an “official meme coin” on the Solana blockchain.
High interest
The announcement, which highlighted the growing involvement of the Trump brand in the cryptocurrency industry, helped bolster confidence in WLFI as an important player in the industry.
In addition to expanding its portfolio, WLFI is actively building its digital presence. The platform purchased Ethereum Name Service (ENS) domains, including Trump Coin.eth, Eric Trump.eth, and Barrontrump.eth, linking its blockchain activities more closely to the Trump family.
TRON DAO, one of WLFI’s biggest backers, has also played a pivotal role in the platform’s rise. Justin Sun, founder of TRON, recently announced an additional $45 million investment in WLFI, bringing TRON DAO’s total stake to $75 million.
TRON DAO now holds 3 billion WLFI tokens, surpassing 34,000 other holders and strengthening its commitment to the platform. Sun described the partnership as a shared vision to drive blockchain adoption on a global scale.
With a diversified portfolio, strong institutional support, and increasing investor confidence, WLFI is positioning itself as a formidable force in the DeFi space. Its rapid expansion and branding efforts indicate that the platform is poised to lead the next wave of innovation in the blockchain industry.
