World Liberty Financial's TRON Purchase Sparks TRX Market Volatility

Highlights

  • Trump-backed World Liberty Financial plans to buy Tron's TRX tokens to expand its portfolio.
  • Tron-established DSA announced its sponsorship of Trump's Crypto Ball.
  • TRX token surged to a 7-day high of $0.259, following World Liberty's TRON integration announcement.

As US President-elect Donald Trump prepares to take office, World Liberty Financial, a cryptocurrency initiative supported by his family, has announced plans to invest in Tron (TRX). This initiative strengthens the Trump-backed crypto project’s ties with Justin Sun’s Tron ecosystem.

However, there are no confirmations on the amount of tokens Trump’s crypto organization intends to add to its portfolio. Sun, being an advisor at World Liberty Financial and the largest holder of the WLFI token, will likely play a crucial role in the project’s TRX investment strategy.

World Liberty Financial Expands Portfolio with TRON Investments

As reported by people familiar with the matter, Trump’s World Liberty Financial has plans to expand its cryptocurrency collection with TRON investments. Though it is unclear how much TRX the entity would purchase, it is estimated that a significant portion of its profits would be used for the investment.

Since its launch in September, Trump’s crypto organization has spent about $12 million to buy assets like Ethereum (ETH), Aave, and Chainlink (LINK). Further, it’s worth mentioning that the organization has raised almost $90 million by selling its WLFI tokens. Notably, Sun, the single-largest holder of WLFI, acquired tokens worth about $30 million in November.
