Crypto wallets connected to the Trump family-supported World Liberty Financial project purchased millions of dollars worth of various major tokens early Thursday, causing their prices to rocket.<\/p>\n

World Liberty Financial is a unified platform where users can borrow and lend cryptocurrencies, create liquidity pools and transact with stablecoins. WLFI serves as a governance token for the platform.<\/p>\n

President-elect Donald Trump is “chief crypto advocate” of the project. Two of his sons, Eric and Donald Trump Jr., are “web3 ambassadors,” while Barron holds the title of “DeFi visionary.”<\/p>\n

Data shows the project purchased $10 million in ether (ETH), and $1 million each in aave (AAVE) and Chainlink\u2019s LINK tokens early Thursday. ETH prices surged 7% in Asian morning hours after the purchases, while AAVE and LINK prices surged 30% on the bullish sentiment.<\/p>\n

The wallet has additionally spent $30 million to buy 8,105 ETH at an average price of $3,700 in the past 12 days, per Spot on Chain<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Well-followed crypto trader @TheFlowHorse speculated<\/a> that the tokens were likely part of bigger plans in the coming months: \u201cTrump\u2019s account is buying the crypto pairs that are set to benefit heavily from his plans.\u201d<\/p>\n

World Liberty Financial uses data provider Chainlink’s services for better integrating with the wider crypto ecosystem. Chainlink supports the platform by providing crucial pricing data and cross-chain interoperability infrastructure, per a November report.<\/p>\n

\u201cWith Trump\u2019s World Liberty Financial DeFi platform adopting the Chainlink standard for data and cross-chain connectivity earlier this year, the recent onchain purchase of $1M in LINK only further strengthens the long-term alignment between the two ecosystems,” Chainlink community liasion Zach Rynes said in a Telegram message to CoinDesk. <\/p>\n

“As the new administration brings regulatory clarity for crypto in the US, Chainlink and WLFi are well positioned to scale DeFi to the masses in a way never seen before,” Rynes added.<\/p>\n

Last week, the platform\u2019s DAO proposed deploying a World Liberty Financial Aave v3 instance. This instance will be managed through external risk managers, built on the existing Aave v3 infrastructure, and released on Ethereum.<\/p>\n

An instance refers to a specific deployment or version of a protocol, application, or service on a blockchain network.<\/p>\n

The vote has already met quorum ahead of its end date on Dec. 13, governance data shows<\/a>, and key objectives include attracting first-time users to the platform as well as sharing a piece of revenues with those who provide liquidity.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
