World Liberty Financial, a decentralized finance (DeFi) project linked to Donald Trump, is making strides toward launch. A recent proposal to deploy a new instance of Aave v3 on Ethereum’s mainnet has been successfully approved. The proposal, which passed through the AaveDAO governance process, outlines the creation of a custom-built platform designed to cater to the needs of World Liberty Financial.
More so, this new platform will provide liquidity for digital assets like Ethereum (ETH), Wrapped Bitcoin (WBTC), and stablecoins including USDC and USDT. The approval marks a step for Donald Trump’s project as it moves closer to operationalizing the platform. As part of the proposal, the platform will be governed by a risk management model built on the Aave v3 infrastructure.
Donald Trump WLFI Proposal Approved by AaveDAO for Ethereum Mainnet Launch
According to a recent report, AaveDAO, the decentralized autonomous organization responsible for governing the Aave protocol, has approved the proposal made by World Liberty Financial to launch an instance of Aave v3 on Ethereum’s mainnet. The proposal, passed on Thursday, outlines that the WLFI platform will initially support Ethereum (ETH), Wrapped Bitcoin (WBTC), and stablecoins such as USDC and USDT for lending and borrowing activities.
The platform will leverage Aave’s existing infrastructure while introducing a customized risk management strategy for managing asset liquidity. AaveDAO will receive 20% of the fees generated from the World Liberty Financial instance, as well as a 7% share of the total supply of WLFI tokens. This partnership will boost liquidity and governance integration between Aave and WLFI, benefiting both platforms as they expand their ecosystems.
Aave’s risk managers will also adjust the supply caps of Ethereum and Wrapped Bitcoin to ensure stable liquidity and enable sustainable borrowing of stablecoins. The governance model for WLFI will allow it to attract new participants to top DeFi projects.
World Liberty Financial Project Invests Millions in Niche DeFi Tokens
In addition to the proposal for launching the Aave v3 instance, World Liberty Financial has made investments in key DeFi tokens. Recent blockchain data shows that the project has acquired millions of dollars worth of tokens, including Ethereum (ETH), Chainlink (LINK), and Aave (AAVE).
These investments align with Trump’s commitment to building a DeFi ecosystem, helping ensure liquidity for the planned lending and borrowing platform.
Donald Trump’s project has purchased $35 million worth of Ethereum and Wrapped Ethereum (WETH), along with $1 million each in Chainlink (LINK) and Aave (AAVE). The total investment of $50 million reflects WLFI’s strategy to boost its DeFi presence and integrate various blockchain solutions.
Notably, the purchases have already contributed to price surges in the affected assets, demonstrating market interest. Furthermore, the investment will enhance World Liberty Financial’s capabilities in the DeFi space.
As Donald Trump’s crypto initiative gains traction, the president-elect outlined plans to establish the United States as a leader in the crypto sector. During an interview, Donald Trump emphasized the importance of staying ahead of nations like China in the race for blockchain and crypto innovation. His administration’s focus will include advancing crypto mining, adopting blockchain technologies, and implementing regulatory frameworks that boost growth.
