On Monday, it was confirmed that Chainlink will power the Trump Crypto World Liberty Financial platform (WLFI) with RWA usecases. To do this, they will have to work closely with Chainlink founder Sergey Nazarov, who will likely work with the White House to tell Trump what they need regarding legal clarity.

Donald Trump, with the recommendation of his Gen Z crypto-holding wunderkind child Barron Trump, is looking for crypto experts in the field to help guide him with World Liberty Financial.

Here’s what this could mean for WLFI token and broader crypto regulation.

A Tepid Start for World Liberty Financial Token

Financial markets are riding the wave of Donald Trump’s recent electoral win. The S&P 500 is climbing, and Bitcoin btc-bitcoin icon btc-bitcoin icon Price Trading volume in 24h Last 7d price movement has been smashing records for three days straight, but Trump’s own crypto brainchild, World Liberty Financial, is dragging its feet in terms of traction for its presale.

Launched in October, World Liberty Financial’s token, WLFI, has faced a challenging market environment. Despite the president-elect’s pro-crypto stance and promotional efforts, the token has only managed to see a 4% increase in cumulative sales profit since the election, bringing total profits to $15.4 million.

While this marks its best three-day performance since launch, it pales compared to the broader crypto market’s 11% surge post-election.

Several factors contribute to WLFI’s limited appeal. Most prominently, the token is not currently tradable on secondary markets, which significantly restricts investor engagement and liquidity.

Moreover, WLFI tokens are “locked” until investors vote to enable trading, a decision that remains pending according to the project’s “gold paper”—a Trump-styled version of the typical white paper used to introduce new crypto projects.

If all of this sounds like a parody, remember that as great as Trump has been as president, his business ventures are volatile as hell.

This is a guy who sold gold shoes, after all.

Scaling Back Ambitions For WLFI

Initially, World Liberty Financial aimed to raise $300 million through its token sale. However, a lack of investor interest forced a revision of these ambitions, with the company now planning to terminate the sale after raising just $30 million, as per an October 30 regulatory filing.

The limited participation underscores the challenges of capturing investor attention, even with the Trump family’s high-profile endorsements.

Despite being marketed heavily on social media by Trump and his sons, who serve as “ambassadors,” the project has struggled to generate significant momentum.

WLFI is designed as a governance token intended to grant holders some measure of control over the project’s direction. However, the degree of influence is limited; investors can vote on technology upgrades but have no say in operations.

The “gold paper” outlines that World Liberty Financial will provide access to third-party DeFi applications, including noncustodial wallets and lending protocols like Aave. However, the broader utility and value proposition of WLFI remains unclear, contributing to potential investors’ skepticism.
