**News Flash: Trump and DeFi Token WLF, Challenging First Day! 🚀**

- World Liberty Financial (WLF), a DeFi protocol backed by Donald Trump, kicked off its public token sale on Tuesday, raising around $11.49 million in its first day.

- This is only around 3.8% of the ambitious $300 million target the token sale was expected to achieve.

- Data from Dune Analytics shows around 766 million WLFI tokens were sold at a price of $0.015 per token.

- The project’s website experienced a hiccup when the sale started, perhaps due to the high level of enthusiasm!

- Interestingly, despite Trump’s call for his followers to buy the token, there are only 8,699 unique wallet addresses holding WLFI so far.

- Criticism has been raised, given Trump’s focus on the project ahead of the US presidential election.

- WLF will be available to accredited investors in the US, qualified investors in the UK, and others globally.

- 63% of the tokens will be sold to the public, 17% for user rewards, and 20% for team compensation.

- The WLFI token will serve as a governance token, allowing its holders to vote on future decisions of the platform.
