Trump-Linked WLF Set to Build Crypto Reserve As U.S. Eyes Digital Dominance

World Liberty Financial (WLF), a DeFi project linked to Donald Trump’s family, is making big moves in crypto. The company has announced plans to build a large cryptocurrency reserve, sparking speculation about its future plans.

This news was revealed at the Ondo Summit in New York, where Donald Trump Jr. made a surprise appearance and strongly backed crypto, calling it key to America’s future power.

Trump Jr. Talks Crypto

At the summit, Trump Jr. called cryptocurrency the “future of American hegemony,” stressing that digital assets will play a major role in keeping the U.S. economy strong. Speaking to industry leaders, he highlighted crypto’s growing influence and how it could reshape global finance.

WLF’s Expanding Crypto Portfolio

WLF has been quietly building its crypto holdings, recently purchasing $470,000 worth of ONDO, the native token of Ondo Finance. But its investments go beyond ONDO—the company has also acquired Ethereum (ETH), wrapped Bitcoin (wBTC), Tron (TRX), AAVE, and Chainlink (LINK), showing interest in major blockchain projects.

WLF co-founder Chase Herro shared the company’s vision for its crypto reserve but didn’t reveal its exact purpose. He did, however, confirm that WLF is committed to supporting blockchain innovation and remains optimistic about digital assets.

There’s a Clear Political Connection

The idea of a crypto reserve may have been discussed since Trump’s presidential campaign. Earlier this year, Trump signed an executive action to explore the possibility of such a reserve, raising speculation that WLF’s moves could tie into national crypto policies.

Crypto Industry Meets Government

The Ondo Summit brought together key figures from both the crypto industry and government. Attendees included House Financial Services Committee Chair Patrick McHenry and acting Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) Chair Caroline Pham.

Talks focused on tokenization, regulation, and the challenges of integrating digital assets into mainstream finance.

What’s Next for WLF?

Although WLF presents itself as a DeFi lending platform, it has yet to launch operations. For now, its growing crypto portfolio raises questions about its long-term strategy and the Trump family’s increasing involvement in the crypto world.
