The Donald Trump-linked World Liberty Financial token sale got off to a slow start

$12M

10/16/24

For World Liberty Financial, it wasn’t a day to write home about. The Trump-linked DeFi project officially launched its WLFI token yesterday with the reported goal of raising $300M.

It isn’t close to meeting the target. According to the project’s website, there have been just over $12 million in token sales.

A look at WLFI’s page on Etherscan, an ethereum-blockchain explorer, puts the number of addresses holding the token at under 10,000. Before Tuesday’s token sale, World Liberty Financial bragged about the 100,000 people it said had signed up for the sale.
