World Liberty Financial, a decentralized finance (DeFi) protocol supported by the Trump family, has raised an additional $550 million through its WLFI token sale, pushing its total funding to nearly $600 million since November 2024, according to data from ICO Drops reported on March 13, 2025.
This latest round brings the project’s valuation to over $1.5 billion, surpassing earlier projections of a $300 million raise to reach that milestone. The initiative, launched in September 2024, gained momentum with an initial $30 million investment from TRON founder Justin Sun, reflecting strong market interest in this Trump-backed crypto venture. With this funding, World Liberty Financial aims to expand its DeFi offerings, positioning itself as a key player in strengthening the U.S. dollar’s global status through innovative digital finance solutions.

Details on the exact number of tokens sold remain unclear, but earlier reports suggest World Liberty Financial planned to sell up to 20% of its 100 billion WLFI token supply, with co-founder Zak Folkman noting on X that over 60% would be available to the public, 17% allocated for user rewards, and 20% reserved for the team.
By mid-February 2025, the project had sold over 24 billion tokens, leaving approximately 950 million available, though rapid uptake at rising price points prompted an extension of the token sale. In a January 20 post on X, the project announced, “Due to massive demand and overwhelming interest, we’ve decided to open up an additional block of 5% of token supply,” capitalizing on the momentum to raise more funds for development.
For crypto investors, this surge in funding signals strong market confidence, but its success depends on regulatory clarity, user adoption, and the project’s ability to deliver on its DeFi vision amid Bitcoin’s recent volatility and broader market shifts.
