Donald Trump DeFi Raises $300M For Lending Platform.
The first sale for the DeFi project World Liberty Finance, allegedly associated with former US President Donald Trump and his three sons, is set to launch next week. It will attempt to raise $300 million by selling 20% of the WLFI token supply in the initial token sale, valuing the project at $1.5 billion once fully diluted.
A typical roadmap with investors projected that the forthcoming token sale would go live next week.
Trump’s World Liberty Finance Aims to Raise $300M
World Liberty Finance, a DeFi project associated with Donald Trump, seeks $300 million from selling 20% of its $WLFI tokens. This would happen at a market capitalization of $1.5 billion once fully diluted. These tokens, however, would not be able to be transferred within those first 12 months. Even when such a community vote in the first 12 months passes for these tokens to be transferable, they shall not be.
This is likely not all since 63% of the token supply will go through a public sale in the future. Also, user rewards reserved 17% of the supply. 20% of the tokens go to the team. WLFI is a governance token, and this will let holders vote on the platform’s development decisions.
Governance functionalities have been live from the very beginning. As such, they will not be restricted even when tokens remain in a non-transferrable state. It is worth mentioning that the platform will be deployed on the Aave DeFi protocol.
Trump Joins World Liberty Finance as Chief Crypto Advocate
World Liberty Finance is a new crypto project from its co-founders, Steve and Zach Witkoff, Zak Folkman, and Chase Herro. It aims to further the mass adoption of digital assets by developing a compliant alternative finance platform. It recently opened its Know Your Customer (KYC) verification process on its website.
Donald Trump has assumed the role of Chief Crypto Advocate in the World Liberty Finance, and his three sons are on board as the Web3 Ambassadors.
Other big stars associated with the project include Luke Pearson, with Polychain Capital, as Head of Platform, and Corey Caplan, a Dolomite co-founder, as the Head of Technical Strategy.
The first phase includes deploying a version of the Aave DeFi lending protocol onto Scroll, a Layer 2 scaling solution for Ethereum. Users will be able to lend and borrow various assets such as Bitcoin, Ether, and several stablecoins.
Aave’s governance has already received the proposal. The deployment of the lending protocol Aave V3 will deliver 7% of the WLFI token supply to the Aave DAO for voting and liquidity, in addition to 20% of the protocol’s fee revenue the protocol’s fee revenue.
Later stages of World Liberty Finance will include integrating exchanges with on-chain KYC attestations, a credit card focused on stablecoins, and fractionalizing real-world assets such as hotels and sports clubs. The project, which targets US-accredited and qualified investors abroad, has lobbied for criticism of outdated US regulatory policy that prevents broader access to its token sale.
From “Scam” to Advocate for Digital Assets
Donald Trump’s stance on cryptocurrency has eminently changed in the past few months. From calling it a “scam against the dollar” in 2021, he has adopted digital assets in his run for president in 2024.
Last month, during a Nashville conference, he announced his plan to make the US the “crypto capital of the world.” He ventured directly into the digital markets, issuing several sets of NFTs, including one with his mugshot.
His campaign has also made a tactical pivot to crypto fundraising. In July, the Donald Trump campaign brought about $3 million from donors linked to cryptocurrency.
He also became the very first presidential candidate to accept campaign donations in cryptocurrency. This is a far cry from his previously expressed skepticism, and the World Liberty Finance project proves it.

Solana price has extended weekly losses to 14% amid heightened selling pressure for the cryptocurrency. Whale data on Friday revealed that roughly $46M worth of SOL was unstaked and offloaded to exchanges in recent days. The outcome? Crypto market traders and investors are speculating if a recovery is even possible ahead as the broader market faces turmoil amid Trump’s reciprocal tariff announcement.
Solana Price Takes Bearish Turn Amid Rising Whale Dumps, What’s Happening?
As of press time, Solana price traded at $115.91, down slightly over 3% in the past 24 hours. The weekly chart for the crypto showcases a 14% decline, further accompanied by a monthly drop of over 18%. This waning action falls in line with the recent broader market trends and heightened selling pressure for the cryptocurrency.
Data from the tracker Lookonchain suggested that crypto whales are on a SOL dumping spree in tandem with the coin’s slumping action. Notably, 4 wallet addresses collectively unstaked and offloaded $46 million worth of coins in the past 24 hours, per whale data.
Here Are The Addresses & Amounts of SOL Dumped
- ‘HUJBzd’ – $30.3 million worth of coins.
- ‘BnwZvG’ – $9.47 million worth of coins.
- ‘8rWuQ5’ – $3.53 million worth of coins.
- 2UhUo1′ – $3 million worth of coins.
For context, usual market sentiments reflect bearishness in light of such massive dumps as the selling pressure for a crypto increases. Solana’s waning price action has contributed to investors’ cautious outlook toward the coin amid negative market dynamics.
SOL Price Faces Pressure Amid Broader Trends
It’s worth pointing out that SOL is currently facing immense heat due to broader macro trends presenting risk assets with uncertainty. CoinGape recently reported that Bitcoin price saw an offsetting movement with Donald Trump’s reciprocal tariffs commencement. In turn, even the altcoin market mimicked a bearish movement lately.
Another report revealed that BTC price is expected to follow the stock market action in light of the new reciprocal tariffs. Matrixport strongly asserted that the broader crypto market could potentially sustain volatility in the short run as BTC price is expected to mimic stock market movements.
Analyst Forecasts Bullish Outlook Despite Downtrend
However, a crypto market analyst named ‘Brandon Hong’ has conversely highlighted a bullish outlook for Solana price regardless of the broader turmoil. The analyst recently posted on X, stating, “SOL is about to have its biggest breakout ever.”
This bullish anticipation rides the back of the coin about to break its 400-day range. “Buy now or regret later,” the analyst concluded, sparking contrary speculations. Crypto market participants continue to extensively eye the token for price action shifts amid uncertain dynamics.

While predictions for Cardano to $1 may seem like a far cry, a cryptocurrency expert has injected new life into the claims. Cardano’s price is headed below 50 cents in search of a new support zone that can serve as a springboard to reach new highs.
Cardano Price Can Still Clinch $1 Despite Price Slump
Market technician Jonathan Carter in an analysis on X predicts that Cardano’s price can reclaim the $1 price point in the coming months. According to Carter, the recent ADA correction will not be a hindrance for Cardano’s price to reach $1.
ADA has lost a jarring 13% over the last week and trades at $0.64 in an unremarkable week for the cryptocurrency. On the daily charts, prices have generally moved sideways, underscoring a lack of investor enthusiasm.
For Carter, Cardano’s recent decline has seen it fail to stay above the $0.65 support level. The analyst opined that a downtrend is the offing for the Cardano price that could see a new support zone of $0.59. Carter says the new $0.59 support zone will hurl Cardano price to reach $1.
“Despite the long correction, the price still has a chance to bounce off this support and rise towards $1,” said Carter. “Otherwise, we will fall to the lower border of the broadening wedge.”
While some investors are eyeing an ADA bounce to $0.70, a plausible play will be a slump below $0.60 before the start of a rally.
A Slew Of Positives For ADA
Despite the pervading negative sentiment around ADA price, the cryptocurrency has a wave of positive fundamentals going for it. Cardano price spiked following Charles Hoskinson’s confirmation of Ripple’s RLUSD on ADA.
Furthermore, Charles Hoskinson reveals that Cardano will play a major role in Bitcoin decentralized finance (DeFi) application. In more positive technicals, Cardano price is forming a cyclical pattern from 2024 that can send prices to astronomical proportions in May.
While the prediction pegged prices at $2.5, optimists say ADA price to $10 is not a crazy hypothesis. The report cites present solid fundamentals and ADA’s over 1,000% spike to set its all-time high back in 2021 as pointers for the seismic rally to $10.

Crypto analyst CasiTrades has provided a roadmap for the XRP price, revealing what could happen before the altcoin reaches a new all-time high (ATH). Based on her analysis, XRP could still witness a price decline before it potentially rallies past its current ATH of $3.4.
XRP Price Could Drop To $1.9 Before Rally To New Highs
In an X post, CasiTrades stated that in the event of a deeper flush, the XRP price could wick down to $1.90, suggesting that the altcoin could visit this low before it rallies to new highs. She believes XRP will ideally hold above this $1.90 and avoid dropping to new lows.
The crypto expert noted that the next move is critical. She claimed that if XRP gets that flush with bullish RSI divergence, it could mark the bottom before the altcoin rockets into Wave 3. However, CasiTrades warned that a break below $1.90 could force a reset of the entire new trend count.
Meanwhile, there is still the possibility that the XRP price might not drop to as low as $1.90. CasiTrades stated that $1.95 is the prime target, with subwaves heavily aligning there and a drop to $1.90 only likely to occur in the event of a deeper flush.
It is worth mentioning that US President Donald Trump recently announced reciprocal tariffs on all countries, a move which is set to ignite a global trade war and is bearish for XRP and the broader crypto market. As such, this development could be what sparks the deeper flush and send the altcoin to as low as $1.90.
A Drop To $1.4 Is Also The Cards
In an X post, crypto analyst Brandon asserted that the XRP price is about to have a massive breakout, to the downside. His accompanying chart showed that XRP could drop to as low as $1.4.
On the other hand, crypto analysts such as Ali Martinez have provided a bullish outlook for the XRP price. In an X post, he stated that XRP could be setting up for a rebound. The analyst further remarked that the altcoin is holding above $2 while the TD Sequential flashes a buy signal.
Crypto analyst Javon Marks also recently predicted that Ripple’s coin could surge 44x and reach as high as $99. He alluded to the 2017 bull run as the reason why he is confident that the altcoin could record such a parabolic rally.
