- WLFI’s successful token sales raised $550M with widespread global participation.
- Over 85,000 KYC-verified participants supported WLFI’s growth and DeFi vision.
- WLFI is set to revolutionize the DeFi space with upcoming disruptive technologies.
World Liberty Financial has reached an unprecedented milestone wherein the project raised $550 million in gross revenue. Following its launch on October 15, 2024, WLFI has completed two rounds of token sales, with the first round generating $300 million in sales and the second round contributing an additional $250 million. The total amount of WLFI tokens sold across all sales amounted to a staggering $550 million.
A Significant Milestone in the DeFi Space
The Know Your Customer (KYC) process was employed to assess the eligibility of over 85,000 participants in the token sales, ensuring a secure and transparent process. WLFI’s co-founder, Zach Witkoff, shared his thoughts on the achievement, stating, “This milestone proves that those who truly understand crypto and finance recognize what we’re building — and that WLFI is on track to supercharge DeFi as it transforms global finance in the coming years.” Witkoff expressed gratitude to the early supporters and partners, acknowledging their role in the project’s success. He added,
World Liberty Financial is grateful to WLFI’s early supporters and partners who saw the game-changing potential of this project and we look forward to their continued participation in the governance of the WLFI protocol. The token sales are just the beginning. We’re gearing up to launch a wave of disruptive technology that will redefine the boundaries of what’s possible with digital assets.
Influence of Key Figures and Strategic Movements
WLFI’s success has been largely catalyzed by the involvement of influential figures in the cryptocurrency world. Justin Sun, the founder of the Tron network, significantly increased his stake in WLFI, investing $75 million in tokens as of January 2025. This move highlights growing confidence in WLFI’s potential and its standing in the DeFi ecosystem. According to a court document from February 2025, Sun and the SEC were engaged in discussions regarding a settlement for the civil fraud lawsuit filed against him.
Additionally, Trump’s connection with the WLFI has enhanced the President’s stance on digital assets. Earlier this year, President Trump signed an executive order establishing a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve, further cementing his commitment to the sector. Further, David Sacks, the Trump administration’s AI and crypto czar, liquidated over $200 million in digital assets when he took office to avoid any conflict of interest.

Trump, WLFI intends to provide the tools through which a wider audience could engage with DeFi. Simplified and easily accessible, WLFI is poised as a leader in this space by allowing individuals to participate in building the digital finance landscape of the future.
