Donald Trump's backed project, World Liberty Financial, had a disappointing launch, selling only 4% of its available tokens on the first day, which amounts to around $12 million. The token sale, open to accredited investors in the U.S., has limitations requiring a net worth of at least $1 million and substantial annual income, restricting broader participation. Analysts, including Nansen's Edward Wilson, noted the surprising lack of interest given Trump's prior crypto-friendly stance. The project's limited audience engagement and initial valuation of $1.5 billion may have further deterred potential investors, despite the presence of over 100,000 prospective buyers on the allowlist. World Liberty Financial aims to position itself in the DeFi space, offering borrowing and lending services while promoting the U.S. as a leading crypto hub. Trump's recent shift towards crypto support contrasts with his past skepticism towards Bitcoin, highlighting the evolving narrative around digital assets.
