According to a roadmap shared with prospective investors, the Trump family’s DeFi project, World Liberty Financial (WLFI), will begin its token sale next week.
The roadmap in question claims that the initial sale for the WLFI token is seeking funding to the tune of $300 million. 20% of the token supply will be sold off, and the market cap at launch is estimated at around $1.5 billion (fully diluted valuation).
INTEL: Trump-linked World Liberty Financial is set to raise $300 million at a $1.5 billion valuation, which would value the Aave DAO's 7% stake in WLFI at $105 million

Announced Tokenomics For WLFI Suggest Further Token Sales To Come
With only 20% marked for sale in the first stage, this strongly suggests that more token sales could come later. In an X Spaces last month, it was stated that 63% of the WLFI token supply would be sold to the public, 17% would go toward user rewards, and the last 20% would be allocated to the team.
The roadmap clarifies that WLFI will be used as a governance token. This means that it will be used to vote on decisions regarding the future development of the WLFI platform. An important piece of information is that these tokens will be non-transferable for the first 12 months.

Like Aave, the goal is to enable users to lend and borrow tokens. The proposal lists Bitcoin, Ethereum and Stablecoins (USDT & USDC) as initial offerings.
If the proposal is successful, the World Liberty Financial project will give 7% of its token supply to the Aave DAO. At the current valuation, this would equate to $105 million. The 7% supply given to the Aave DAO would be used for voting with and providing liquidity.

Future Plans For Trump’s WLFI Project Include Crypto Credit Cards And Fractionalised Real-World Assets
The second phase is to integrate with centralized exchanges, allowing users on-ramp and off-ramp while following strict know-your-customer protocols.
World Liberty Financial has spoken about its goal of creating a stablecoin-based credit card that would allow users to spend their digital assets in the real world.
The third and final phase of the project is to fractionalize real-world assets and obtain regulatory licenses for doing so. Examples given include hotels and sports clubs, both business models very familiar to Donald Trump.
In conjunction with the Trump family, World Liberty Financial is being spearheaded by Steve and Zach Witkoff, Zak Folkman and Chase Herro. The project’s mission statement is to drive mass adoption of digital assets through a compliant one-stop platform for alternative finance.
As for the Trump’s official roles within the project, the WLFI website names Donald Trump as Chief Crypto Advocate and his three sons as Web3 Ambassadors. Other notable members of the team are Polychain Capital General Partner Luke Pearson as Head of Platform. Dolomite co-founder Corey Caplan is also listed as Head of Technical Strategy.
