• Justin Sun invested $30M in WLFI, becoming its largest investor, boosting its sales to $52M, but still shy of the $300M target.
• Sun’s backing of Trump’s WLFI signals blockchain’s rising role in traditional finance, despite challenges with token sales.
• WLFI’s $1.5B valuation faces slow adoption, with 100,000 whitelisted but only 20,400 active token holders as of now.

Justin Sun, the founder of the Tron blockchain, has emerged as the largest investor in Donald Trump’s crypto venture, World Liberty Financial (WLFI). Sun invested $30 million, purchasing 2 billion WLFI tokens at $0.015 each. This investment increases the total sales to $52 million, though the project still falls short of its $300 million target. Despite this, Sun’s backing propels WLFI closer to its financial goals, a significant milestone for the project.

Sun’s Investment Boosts WLFI’s Growth

Sun’s investment represents more than just financial support. It highlights the growing influence of blockchain in traditional financial sectors. Sun expressed his excitement on X (formerly Twitter), stating that the U.S. is becoming the blockchain hub, crediting Bitcoin’s rise to Trump’s efforts. 

Additionally, Sun emphasized that his investment is purely business-driven, with no political motivation. His decision to back WLFI is motivated by the project’s potential to disrupt decentralized lending and governance.

Challenges and Opportunities for WLFI

WLFI, launched in October, has faced some challenges. Sales have been slow due to restrictions limiting token sales to non-U.S. persons and accredited U.S. investors. Furthermore, the WLFI tokens are non-transferable, meaning they cannot be resold once purchased. 

Despite these limitations, the project’s roadmap includes an ambitious goal of raising $300 million at a $1.5 billion valuation. As of Monday afternoon, the sales reached $51.2 million, bringing the project closer to triggering revenue distribution to Trump’s LLC, DT Marks DEFI.

The project’s gold paper outlines that once sales reach $30 million, Trump’s company will receive 75% of net revenues. This marks a significant moment for Trump’s family, as it represents their first earnings from the venture. 

The WLFI platform has already garnered interest, with over 100,000 people on the whitelist for token purchases. However, only about 20,400 wallet addresses hold the tokens, according to blockchain data tracked by Etherscan. This shows that while interest is high, adoption remains slow.
