DeFi project World Liberty Financial (WLFI), which is backed by the Trump family, has made waves in the market by using Cow Protocol to deploy 2.5 million USDC to acquire 759.36 Ether (ETH), according to Arkham.

This high-profile transaction, which took place on December 20, 2024, highlights WLFI’s strategic focus on Ethereum as a key pillar in the growing portfolio of the decentralized finance (DeFi) project.

WLFI’s Strategic Investments and Aave Integration Fuel DeFi Growth

Since late November, WLFI has consistently demonstrated its commitment to DeFi innovation by deploying approximately $45 million across several assets. These include Chainlink (LINK), Aave (AAVE), Ethena (ENA), Wrapped Bitcoin (cbBTC), and Ondo (ONDO).

With a mission to optimize value for its stakeholders and minimize costs, the use of Cow Protocol further emphasizes WLFI’s goal to maximize efficiency. Cow Protocol is a tool designed to enhance transaction efficiency by matching buy and sell orders at the best possible price.

In addition to its ambitious investment strategy, WLFI also played a pivotal role in proposing the integration of their customized Aave v3 protocol, which was approved by AaveDAO. This project will enable users to lend and borrow major assets, including ETH, Wrapped Bitcoin (WBTC), USDC, and USDT.

Significantly, WLFI’s initiative to allocate 20% of the generated fees and 7% of its total token supply to fund AaveDAO demonstrates a collaborative approach that contributes to the broader DeFi ecosystem.

Several notable crypto figures have thrown their support behind WLFI, including Tron founder Justin Sun, who directly invested $30 million in the project and joined as an advisor. While the initiative initially aimed to raise $300 million through WLFI token sales, the project has so far secured over $72 million.

The project’s approach also aligns with its commitment to fostering stablecoin innovation. According to a report by CNF, the integration of Ethena Labs’ sUSDe stablecoin into WLFI’s Aave-based protocol has significantly boosted liquidity and user rewards.
