The Trump family has unveiled a new cryptocurrency platform named World Liberty Financial (WLFI). The platform, which has been rebranded from “The DeFiant Ones,” is being promoted by former President Donald Trump and his sons, Donald Trump Jr. and Eric Trump. The announcement was made on X (formerly Twitter), where Trump declared his ambition to make the United States the “crypto capital of the planet.” 
World Liberty Financial’s mission remains unclear, with varying details offered by the Trump family. Donald Trump Jr. mentioned in an interview that the platform aims to rival traditional banking systems by offering decentralized financial services.&nbsp;

He emphasized the potential of decentralized finance (DeFi) to challenge the inequality in access to financial resources. On the other hand, Eric Trump hinted at the involvement of digital real estate, which could involve tokenizing real-world assets or trading digital assets in the metaverse. 
The launch of World Liberty Financial has garnered significant attention among Trump supporters. The platform’s Telegram channel, now operating under the new brand, has quickly attracted over 52,000 subscribers, with the count steadily rising.&nbsp; 
Additionally, the WLFI account on X, which boasts over 20,000 followers, has been actively promoting the initiative, emphasizing the message “A new era in finance is here.” 
This move aligns with Trump’s broader efforts to appeal to the cryptocurrency community. His stance as the “pro-crypto” candidate has attracted significant attention and donations from crypto enthusiasts.&nbsp; 
According to the Trump campaign, they have raised $25 million from crypto-related sources, although this figure has not been independently verified. 
The crypto platform’s launch closely follows Trump’s release of a new round of NFT trading cards, further solidifying the family’s involvement in digital currency ventures. While these enterprises are privately held by the Trump family, they are closely tied to Trump’s political brand and are marketed towards his supporters.&nbsp; 
The fusion of political and business interests is evident as the platform offers an opportunity to engage crypto voters while also generating revenue. 
Despite the excitement surrounding World Liberty Financial, questions remain about its functionality and the specific services it will provide. As of now, the platform’s operational status is unknown, and detailed plans have yet to be disclosed.&nbsp;
