World Liberty Financial Wraps Up Token Sale With $550M Raised – Crypto News
World Liberty Financial (WLFI), a project associated with the Trump family, has completed its token sale, raising a total of $550 million. The fundraising campaign, which began in October 2024, underwent multiple phases, with adjustments to the initial funding goal and additional token offerings to accommodate shifting market demand.
Donald Trump’s World Liberty Financial Closes $550M Fundraising Round
President Donald Trump’s crypto project, World Liberty Financial, has successfully concluded its fundraising efforts with a substantial $550 million raised. The initiative initially targeted $300 million but faced challenges in early stages, leading to a revised goal. Despite these hurdles, subsequent offerings sparked renewed investor interest, allowing WLFI to exceed its revised expectations by a significant margin.
The sale’s first phase ended on January 20, distributing 20% of the total token supply. High-profile investors, including Justin Sun, contributed to the early momentum. The surge in demand led to an additional issuance of 5 billion tokens on the same day, priced at $0.05 each, which were nearly sold out by March 13.
This development comes just days after the Trump-backed crypto project announced the SUI Strategic Reserve, further solidifying its commitment to decentralized finance. The move has sparked excitement in the crypto community, driving a notable surge in SUI’s price.
Token Lock-up and Utility Details
World Liberty Financial has implemented a 12-month lock-up period for all purchased tokens, a move that prevents any immediate trading and reflects a cautious approach to market integration. This governance token enables holders to submit and vote on proposals within the WLFI Protocol. However, it does not provide financial returns, ownership rights, or any direct economic benefits, emphasizing its utility strictly within governance.
The tokens require an ERC-compatible wallet for transactions, and investors had to complete necessary KYC and AML verifications to participate. More so, token distribution for designated wallets was scheduled for the end of the sale period, with all buyers fully responsible for the risks associated with their investment.
Market Challenges and Portfolio Performance
Despite raising a significant sum, World Liberty Financial faced setbacks as its cryptocurrency portfolio experienced substantial losses. Initially, the project allocated $336 million to acquire various digital assets. However, market declines led to a devaluation, with the total value dropping to $226 million as of March 10.
Ethereum, which constituted 65% of WLFI’s holdings, saw a decline from an average purchase price of $3,240 per token to around $1,896. This drop impacted the overall value of the portfolio, contributing to the $110 million loss. Other assets in the portfolio also suffered from the downturn, underscoring the volatility in the crypto markets.
However, despite the challenges, earlier today, Donald Trump’s DeFi project acquired 541,242 SEI tokens, pushing SEI price up by 7%. This investment underscores WLFI’s continued confidence in the altcoin market, even as its broader crypto portfolio faces losses.
