While details on the Trump family’s most recent cryptocurrency venture, World Liberty Financial, are still scarce, the most recent statement of the project shows it seeks to promote the broad use of U.S. dollar-pegged stablecoins inside decentralized finance (DeFi). The platform made clear in a remark left on X on Sept. 4 its primary objective: to drive the “mass adoption of stablecoins and decentralized finance.”
Emphasizing the significance of maintaining U.S. financial dominance internationally, the statement said, “We want U.S.-peased stablecoins to remain the world’s settlement layer for the next 100 years.” World Liberty Financial, which tackles growing concerns about other nations maybe damaging the value of the dollar internationally, advises DeFi’s primary reserve currency should be the U.S. dollar.
Leading BRICS alliance members China and Russia have been increasingly advocating the use of currencies other than the U.S. dollar in international trade, therefore sparking concerns about a declining global importance for the dollar.
The market for stablecoins has developed gradually by contrast. As of September 5, DefiLlama notes, the market capitalization of U.S.-pegged stablecoins had peaked at $169 billion—an all-time high. The five most valuable stablecoins by market capitalization are all connected to the US dollar, thereby underlining their continuous significance in global finance.
While World Liberty Financial has also hinted at a prospective partnership with DeFi protocol AAVE, suggesting the project may evolve on the Ethereum blockchain. CoinMarketCap reports that the price of AAVE has surged by more than 9% over the last 24 hours to reach $133.04, which drives even greater enthusiasm about this partnership.
Donald Trump has positioned World Liberty Financial as a vehicle for customers to circumvent traditional financial institutions and maybe establish the U.S. as a worldwide leader in the crypto scene in enigmatic tweets. Still, the corporation has experienced problems with scam artists and hackers. Eric Trump said on Aug. 8 that the memecoin was not linked with the project after reports showing a $155 million rise in the value of the Restore the Republic (RTR).
On September 4, scammers hijacked X accounts for Lara and Tiffany Trump and uploaded fake links linked to World Liberty Financial. Notwithstanding these difficulties, the project is focused on adding stablecoins into the DeFi ecosystem under top security experts’ leadership to ensure best standards are followed.
