Donald Trump, a candidate in the upcoming presidential elections in November in the U.S., has officially announced a new decentralized finance (DeFi) project called World Liberty Financial (WLF), closely linked to his family. This project aims to reshape the financial landscape by leveraging innovative technologies that make financial transactions more accessible. During a recent talk on the X platform organized by Rug Radio, Trump discussed the new interest in cryptocurrencies, particularly in NFTs, following a recent assassination attempt. He expressed surprise at how many people are opting to make payments using cryptocurrency, saying, “I was honestly not very interested at first, but this tremendous interest has affected me.”
Trump has reportedly generated over $7 million in revenue from NFT collections that depict him as a superhero.
