World Liberty, a cryptocurrency initiative tied to President-elect Donald Trump, is reshaping its treasury strategy by moving away from stablecoins and investing in more speculative digital assets.
According to data from blockchain analytics platform Arkham, the project has swapped approximately $24.6 million worth of USDC for a diversified portfolio that includes Ether (ETH), Wrapped Bitcoin (WBTC), Tron (TRX), Chainlink (LINK), Aave (AAVE), and Ethena (ENA).
- Consistent Ether Accumulation: Ether remains the treasury’s top asset, with holdings of 43,000 ETH valued at $143 million.
- New Token Allocations: Around $4.7 million has been allocated to WBTC, TRX, LINK, and AAVE. Ethena received $2.3 million in purchases.
- Stablecoin Reserves: The treasury continues to maintain significant stablecoin holdings, with $96 million in Tether (USDT) and $56 million in USDC.
The project’s current holdings also include:
- Wrapped Bitcoin (WBTC): $6.5 million.
- Aave (AAVE): $6.5 million.
- Chainlink (LINK): $6.5 million.
- Tron (TRX): $4.6 million.
- Ethena (ENA): $3 million.
Despite its aggressive diversification, World Liberty has yet to invest in any official Trump-related memecoins, such as Donald Trump’s Official Trump or Melania Trump’s MELANIA.
Justin Sun Joins World Liberty as an Advisor
In November, Justin Sun, founder of Tron, purchased $30 million worth of WLFI tokensโthe native token of World Liberty. Following this acquisition, Sun was appointed as an advisor to the project.
Additionally, Sunโs firm, BiT Global, has taken on a significant role in the Wrapped Bitcoin (WBTC) ecosystem, further solidifying his influence in the crypto space.
A Shift in Strategy
World Libertyโs move to diversify its treasury marks a departure from its previous reliance on stablecoins. By investing in a range of speculative assets, the project is signaling its confidence in the broader crypto market while maintaining a balanced approach with substantial stablecoin reserves.
As World Liberty continues to build its portfolio, its strategy reflects a growing trend among crypto projects to explore high-potential assets while leveraging the stability of major cryptocurrencies like Ether and Bitcoin. The projectโs future moves will be closely monitored, particularly as its ties to Trumpโs presidency attract significant public and market attention.
