TechFlow reports that World Liberty Financial (WLFI), a DeFi application linked to members of the Trump family, is planning a large-scale token sale that could generate hundreds of millions of dollars for former President Trump.
Code tests discovered on X by user Dumpster DAO on September 4 indicate the project intends to sell 30% of its WLFI token supply at an $1.8 billion valuation, raising $537 million.
The project's whitepaper states that while the platform is not directly owned or operated by Trump, he and his family members may receive compensation from it. If all 30 billion tokens are sold, the project would raise $537 million—close to the $454 million penalty Trump owes in a New York business fraud lawsuit.
Insiders are set to receive 70% of the tokens, worth nearly $1.3 billion. Some analysts have expressed concern this could lead to legal troubles for Trump. The code tests also show WLFI tokens will initially be non-tradable, though future upgrades may enable trading. It remains unclear whether this token sale might attract regulatory scrutiny. A spokesperson for World Liberty Financial declined to comment.
