Financial giant World Liberty Financial contemplates acquiring a $1.5 billion Nasdaq-listed company, aiming to exclusively own WLFI tokens, as suggested by recent reports.
World Liberty Financial (WLFI) to List on Nasdaq as Decentralized Finance and Stablecoin Platform
World Liberty Financial (WLFI), backed by the Trump family, is actively planning to create a publicly traded company on the Nasdaq that will hold its WLFI tokens and cash reserves. This move aims to challenge traditional finance and position the company as a bridge between traditional finance and decentralized crypto assets.
The company has already raised approximately $550 million through two public token sales, with the Trump family controlling 60% of equity after the 2025 reorganization. Eric Trump and Donald Trump Jr. are expected to hold board positions in the new company, further emphasizing the family’s involvement.
The new entity will function as a treasury company, mirroring MicroStrategy's strategy of holding crypto assets within a public company to boost valuation and provide institutional access to the tokens. WLFI tokens are expected to become tradable in the near future, although the exact timeline is yet to be defined.
Regulatory approvals and organizational finalization are expected to take place post-August 2025, following the acquisition of a Nasdaq-listed shell company. This acquisition is a strategic move to expedite access to public markets and raise up to $1.5 billion.
This strategy positions WLFI as a pioneer in the decentralized finance (DeFi) and stablecoin sector, leveraging institutional interest and political brand power. The company's goal is to challenge traditional finance and offer a new paradigm for financial services.
