Former U.S. President Donald Trump is preparing to step into the decentralized finance (DeFi) world with the upcoming launch of his new crypto project, World Liberty Financial. Scheduled to go live on September 16, the announcement was made in a video Trump <a href="https://x.com/realDonaldTrump/status/1834311432982135015" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">posted</a> on X on September 12. The project is reportedly controlled by his sons, Donald Trump Jr. and Eric Trump.
Trump’s video message painted an ambitious picture for the future of finance, stating that the project would challenge traditional banking systems. “We’re embracing the future with crypto and leaving the slow and outdated big banks behind,” Trump remarked. Although Trump has previously hinted at the project in cryptic posts, more concrete details have now emerged.

According to the white paper for World Liberty Financial, the platform will operate as a decentralized finance service, enabling users to store funds in digital wallets, <a href="https://x.com/realDonaldTrump/status/1829141447087648796" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">borrow and lend</a> money, and invest in various assets, including cryptocurrencies. Additionally, a credit account system will be introduced, along with a non-transferable governance token, suggesting that users will have a say in how the platform evolves.
The project also aims to integrate stablecoins, particularly U.S. dollar-pegged ones, into the DeFi space, further signaling a focus on decentralized financial systems. Moreover, there are hints of a collaboration with the well-known DeFi protocol Aave, which suggests that World Liberty Financial could be built on the Ethereum blockchain, known for supporting DeFi platforms.

Trump’s support for the crypto industry, particularly in light of his 2024 presidential campaign, has drawn significant attention. He has promised to advocate for clearer regulatory frameworks and has openly criticized current Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) Chair <a href="https://thecoinrise.com/bitcoin-2024-conference-trump-pledges-to-fire-sec-chair-gary-gensler/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Gary Gensler, vowing to fire him</a> if reelected.
While the crypto community is buzzing with excitement, not everyone is convinced. Some question the timing of the launch, as it comes just 50 days before the November election. Additionally, World Liberty Financial has already encountered hurdles, with fake advertisements and scams emerging on platforms like Telegram, <a href="https://x.com/EricTrump/status/1821606504061116542" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">prompting</a> Eric Trump to distance the project from these fraudulent schemes.
Nevertheless, the buzz surrounding Trump’s crypto venture remains strong, especially following <a href="https://thecoinrise.com/donald-trump-fourth-nft-collection-bags-2-million-in-sales/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">his recent foray into the NFT space</a>.
