Trading starts on September 1st! The "core token" of the Trump family is here, a trinity of "financial cornerstone, market game, and macro narrative."

A cryptocurrency project deeply tied to the Trump family is preparing to launch its token, valued at over $40 billion, into the public market. This is not only a significant event in the cryptocurrency field but could also become a landmark event at the intersection of finance, politics, and technology.

According to the World Liberty Financial platform, this decentralized finance project supported by the Trump family plans to officially launch public trading of its WLFI token on September 1. The token generation event (TGE) will take place at 12 PM UTC on that day, and the token, based on the Ethereum network, will be distributed through a system called "Lockbox."

At that time, early investors who purchased the token at $0.015 and $0.05 will be able to unlock 20% of their total token holdings, accounting for approximately 5% of the total supply. The remaining 80% will be subject to community governance, while the distribution for founders, advisors, and partners remains locked. The WLFI token is expected to be listed on major cryptocurrency exchanges such as Binance, Coinbase, and Hyperliquid.

This issuance has sparked a huge response in the market. According to Cryptonews, based on the estimated futures price of the token, the fully diluted valuation of WLFI has exceeded $40 billion, with the tokens held by Trump himself valued at over $6 billion. Current futures prices indicate that WLFI is trading in the range of $0.20 to $0.30, significantly higher than its presale price, reflecting strong market interest and complex expectations for the project.

The token issuance comes at a time when the Trump family's influence in the cryptocurrency field is increasing, with his son Eric Trump joining the board of partners ALT5 Sigma. This series of actions has attracted significant investor attention and has also drawn close political scrutiny. The project's operational model, especially the design of its stablecoin, is being placed under the spotlight of the evolving U.S. cryptocurrency regulation.

WLFI: A New Engine of Trump’s Wealth, $40 Billion Valuation Ignites the Market

The Trump family's layout in the cryptocurrency field is coming to light with the upcoming official launch of the WLFI token. The fully diluted valuation (FDV) of the WLFI token has surpassed an astonishing $40 billion, a figure that not only highlights its enormous market potential but also directly points to Trump's growing wealth in digital assets.

The core holding entity of the WLFI token, DT Marks DEFI LLC, is closely associated with the Trump family and controls 22.5 billion WLFI tokens.

According to Whales Market data, based on the current futures price of $0.20 to $0.30, the 15.75 billion tokens personally held by Trump are expected to be valued at over $6 billion This figure even surpasses Forbes' previous estimate of his $5 billion net worth, suggesting that Trump's wealth structure is undergoing significant changes, with digital assets becoming an important component, including NFTs, meme coins, Bitcoin, and Ethereum.

On decentralized platforms like Whales Market that offer "pre-launch trading," WLFI has shown strong trading enthusiasm.

It is reported that the activation and distribution of the WLFI token will follow a strictly controlled two-step process. Investors need to connect their crypto wallets to the official website and transfer WLFI into a secure smart contract to unlock their holdings starting from September 1. The Web3 security company Cyfrin has audited the relevant smart contracts, and the presale wallets have also been verified to exclude non-compliant addresses.

Trinity of "Financial Cornerstone, Market Game, and Macro Narrative"

Another noteworthy point is that, according to market analysis from the public account "Weisman Notes," the token has attracted market attention with its unique design of "financial cornerstone, market game, and macro narrative." Its core features include a robust RWA stablecoin system, a $750 million strategic adjustment mechanism, and a macro narrative as a model for compliance innovation in the United States.

• Solid Cornerstone: Audited RWA Stablecoin System

The grand narrative of a crypto project must be built on a solid financial structure. Analysis indicates that the foundation of WLFI lies in its stablecoin USD1 within its ecosystem. According to an independent verification report released by the globally renowned accounting firm Crowe LLP on August 1, 2025, the reserve design supporting USD1 is sophisticated and robust.

The report shows that the issuance and reserve management of USD1 are handled by the highly regulated custodian BitGo Technologies, LLC in the United States, while WLFI only serves as the brand owner. This "separation of operations and branding" design constructs a critical risk firewall, significantly reducing the risk of reserve misappropriation or mismanagement.

As of June 30, 2025, a total of approximately $2.207 billion in reserve assets is 100% composed of high-credit real-world assets (RWA), of which about 85% are government money market funds, fundamentally eliminating the "death spiral" risk unique to algorithmic stablecoins.

• Market Game: $750 Million Strategic Adjustment Mechanism

On top of the solid financial foundation is the unique market game aspect of the WLFI token. According to previous reports from Reuters and Bloomberg, the Nasdaq-listed company ALT5 Sigma has reached a strategic cooperation with WLFI, committing to acquire WLFI tokens worth up to $750 million.

The key to this transaction lies in its "unusual" terms. According to the 8-K filing submitted by ALT5 to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), the acquisition commitment "has no specific time and price limitations." An analyst from The Block commented at the time that this looks more like a "strategic arsenal" rather than a traditional investment. This massive, flexible capital is seen as a "strategic regulator" serving WLFI's long-term goals, providing a strong asymmetric advantage in market volatility, whether for low-cost accumulation during market panic or as the ultimate weapon to deter potential short sellers.

• Macroeconomic Narrative: "Compliance Template" Bound to Regulatory Guidance

The ultimate anchor point of WLFI's value lies in its deep alignment with the top-level regulatory guidance in the United States. In the current context of the U.S. pushing for cryptocurrency compliance, a stablecoin project hosted by BitGo, audited by Crowe, and supported by RWA is viewed as a perfect template to showcase "American compliance innovation" to global regulators.

This identity as a "compliance template" endows WLFI with significant strategic value, giving it a notable advantage in obtaining regulatory green lights and integrating into the traditional financial system (TradFi). Therefore, the value of WLFI tokens is largely pre-priced for this "regulatory certainty" premium.

However, as pointed out by CryptoNews, the "GENIUS Act," signed by Trump to regulate stablecoins, did not include provisions to prevent conflicts of interest, raising concerns and scrutiny regarding the potential ethical issues behind the simultaneous launch of WLFI.

September 1st Major Test

The launch of WLFI has triggered a chain reaction in the DeFi market. Reports of rumors regarding collaboration with the lending protocol Aave led to an 8% drop in AAVE token prices, although the rumors were later denied, this incident reflects the significant influence high-profile projects have on the market.

Currently, the total locked value in DeFi has exceeded $167 billion, and the regulatory momentum following the U.S. elections has boosted market optimism, attracting investors' attention to high-profile projects like WLFI.

For investors, WLFI presents unique risk-return characteristics: its systemic collapse risk is significantly reduced due to a solid RWA foundation, but market gaming risk and macro policy shift risk have become new focal points. This means that the project's long-term value depends not only on its own operations but also closely relates to unpredictable macro policy directions.

As the September 1st trading launch approaches, the market will face its first comprehensive test of this complex financial innovation product.
