World Liberty Financial (WLFI), Trump's Crypto Investment Fund, Now Ranks Among the Top 10 Largest Token Raises in History

World Liberty Financial ($WLFI), Trump's crypto investment fund, now ranks among the top 10 largest token raises in history after securing $550 million in its latest sale.

World Liberty Financial ($WLFI), the crypto investment fund founded by former President Donald Trump, is rapidly expanding its token holdings and fundraising efforts.

Now, the fund is reportedly closing in on the top 10 largest token raises in history after a latest sale secured $550 million, according to reports by TokenPulse.

Earlier this week, it was revealed that $WLFI expanded its crypto portfolio with a $100K purchase of SEI tokens on Ethereum via Cow Protocol.

This follows last week’s $25 million $USDC investment. $WLFI now holds an estimated $76 million in crypto assets, including Ethereum (ETH), Wrapped Bitcoin (WBTI), TRON (TRX), AAVE, and MOVE.

But it’s not just the fundraising that’s raising eyebrows.

As per sources, $WLFI has been actively engaging with blockchain teams, offering them an unusual deal: buy at least $10 million worth of unlaunched $WLFI tokens (with a 10% fee), and in return, the firm will purchase the same amount of the blockchain’s native token.

Insiders also revealed that these tokens would be transferred at a $1.5 billion fully diluted valuation (FDV), with no vesting period attached.

This tactic suggests a calculated effort to boost liquidity while attracting institutional and large-scale investors ahead of $WLFI’s expected launch in Q3 2025.

HTX Hints at Justin Sun & Trump’s Token in Cryptic Post

It was previously reported how the TRUMP token sales initially struggled to gain traction. However, with the entry of TRON founder Justin Sun, the token slowly began gaining momentum.

Sun is one of the biggest $WLFI buyers and his influence is huge.

Recently, Huobi Token (HT) exchange, now known as "Web3.0 Exchange," dropped a cryptic post on X (formerly Twitter).

The post, spotted by a TokenPulse reader, showcased four interesting facts about the exchange. Among them was a statement hinting at Justin Sun’s involvement in the Trump tokens.

It read: “Last year, Huobi Token (HT) was ranked the Top 500 in the CCW token price at the beginning of the year and ranked 140 at the end of the year. It also became the largest crowdfunding institution in the world with more than 1.5 billion USDC in fundraising in 2023 Q2.”

The timing of these developments is no coincidence. Shortly after $TRUMP’s listing, World Liberty Financial rolled out its second round of token sales. Trump has actively steered the fund’s momentum by announcing major crypto initiatives, including a strategic Bitcoin reserve, the first-ever White House Crypto Summit, and policies aimed at improving transparency in government crypto holdings.

However, despite these grand plans and the successful staging of the crypto summit last month, a recent report by TheStreet claims that the fund is operating at a loss.

For investors in the fund who are hoping for a dividend payout this year, it seems that patience will be key. This latest SEI investment hints at a calibrated effort to balance immediate risks with long-term market positioning.

One thing is clear—Trump is leveraging his market-making expertise to ensure the fund’s success fits with his personal and political interests. But will this blurring of lines between politics, finance, and crypto pay off in the long run?
