World Liberty Financial, a decentralized finance (DeFi) project endorsed by Donald Trump’s family, has reported a $1 million profit in ether following a subdued WLFI token sale. The project's fundraising target was drastically reduced from $300 million to $30 million due to investor demand issues. So far, 1.02 billion WLFI tokens have been sold at $0.015 each, achieving about half of the newly set goal. Despite the token sale's sluggish pace—with only $364,000 in sales recorded since November 1—an increase in ether’s value by over 16% has boosted the project's total assets from $15.3 million to about $16.25 million. The project currently holds 4,234 ETH and $4.2 million in stablecoins, as WLFI tokens remain non-transferrable unless future governance votes allow changes. The muted interest is highlighted by criticism from industry figures, such as Anthony Scaramucci, who described the project as a scam.
