Justin Sun invests $30 million in World Liberty Financial by buying its native token WLFI
Trump and his sons, Donald Jr. and Eric Trump, unveiled the crypto venture in September through a live stream on X. The DeFi platform has its token WLFI, which is currently on presale. The presale began on October 15th with more than 100,000 U.S. accredited investors.
However, it struggled to meet its goals until a Chinese entrepreneur and crypto pioneer, Justin Sun, stepped in. Sun, who was previously in the news for purchasing a banana bought at 35 cents for $6.2 million, invested $30 million in WLFI.
The crypto entrepreneur announced the purchase on X and highlighted that “the U.S. is becoming the blockchain hub.” He also added that Bitcoin owes it to Donald Trump, and TRON is dedicated to making America great again. According to Sun, the purchase made him the largest investor of World Liberty Financial.
According to the World Liberty Finance website, the presale is still ongoing. The Trump family has already sold 4.97 billion WLFI at $0.015. The website shows that Trump aims to sell 20 billion tokens, and 15 billion tokens are still up for grabs.
