As a seasoned analyst with over two decades of experience in the financial markets and blockchain technology, I find this development between Donald Trump’s World Liberty Financial (WLF) project and Aave quite intriguing. The potential for collaboration between such a high-profile figure and a decentralized finance (DeFi) titan like Aave is unprecedented, especially considering the complexities that come with Trump’s public persona and the regulatory landscape of cryptocurrencies.


Donald Trump’s cryptocurrency initiative, World Liberty Financial (WLF), has put forth a proposition to the Aave community leadership. The ex-president and his associates intend to leverage the Aave platform for their digital currency transactions.

The proposal intends to integrate WLF’s services into the Aave platform, leveraging Aave as the foundation for these services. In exchange, AaveDAO will secure a 20% share of the fees generated by WLF and 7% of the total supply of WLFI, which is the governance token for this project.

WLFI Tokens Will Be Earned as Rewards

Beyond this, the fresh plan indicates that participants in World Liberty’s liquidity pools will be given WLFI tokens as incentives. Yet, there is uncertainty surrounding how AaveDAO plans to handle the safekeeping of these WLFI tokens and distribute them fairly, considering they were previously classified as non-transferable by the Trump project.

At first, WLF intends to receive deposits in Ethereum (ETH), Wrapped Bitcoin (WBTC), and the two leading stablecoins, USDC and USDT. This way, users can utilize these assets as collateral for taking loans. The income distribution will be handled through a trustless smart contract, which means it’s automated and doesn’t require intermediaries.

Under this project, it’s said that Aave stands to gain numerous benefits. Its primary goal is to ensure a steady supply of stablecoins for both ETH and WBTC, attract new users to DeFi who are just starting out, and foster strong bonds with the platform’s users by creating lasting brand loyalty.

Future plans for the project involve bringing in new assets that aren’t yet compatible with Ethereum’s main market, leveraging links to traditional financial systems and institutional investments to achieve this goal.

AaveDAO, WLFI Token Holders to Participate in Vote

Over the past month, I’ve been involved in the announcement of an exciting new venture called World Liberty. This initiative is spearheaded by none other than Trump and a group of his associates, including his sons Eric and Don Jr., as well as billionaire Steve Witkoff. We’re positioning World Liberty as a more approachable and user-friendly alternative to established DeFi platforms like Aave. You see, Aave can be quite complex for those without significant technical expertise to navigate effectively.

Starting from late September, we started accepting applications for the whitelist, which were open exclusively to accredited investors in the United States. These WLFI tokens are being offered under a SEC regulation, meaning that they can be bought only by wealthy individuals or those who have specialized knowledge.

As a potential crypto investor, I’m eagerly waiting for the day when I can join the World Liberty platform, which the team has hinted will be accessible to Americans in the future, following regulatory approval and launch.

The proposed plan is up for debate among the members of the AaveDAO community, who have the power to decide if they want to vote on letting the Republican presidential candidate and his associates develop their DeFi project within Aave. For this to happen, holders of the WLFI token will also need to give their approval separately.
