Trump-Affiliated World Liberty Financial Makes Another TRX Buy

World Liberty Financial (WLFI), a crypto project linked to the family of U.S. President Donald Trump, has made another significant purchase of Tron's TRX, according to on-chain data. This recent acquisition brings WLFI’s total TRX holdings to $7.5 million.

The latest purchase, valued at $2.6 million, adds 10.8 million TRX tokens to WLFI’s treasury. This is part of a broader strategy by the project to integrate TRX into its growing portfolio. Justin Sun, the founder of Tron, expressed his enthusiasm about WLFI’s continued investment in TRX, calling it a significant move for both the crypto and blockchain sectors. He stated, "As a strong advocate for blockchain technology and innovation in cryptocurrencies, I'm excited to see World Liberty Financial integrate TRON as a key part of its growing treasury. TRX's inclusion as the fourth-largest asset in WLFI's holdings highlights its trust in the Tron blockchain network."

In his statement, Sun also highlighted the broader implications of WLFI's actions, suggesting that with WLFI's leadership in bridging traditional finance and crypto, coupled with the Trump administration's pro-crypto stance, the United States could emerge as a major hub for cryptocurrency innovation and adoption.

WLFI, which has been making notable investments in a variety of crypto assets, holds a diverse portfolio. On-chain data shows that the project also owns $182 million in Ethereum (ETH), $48 million in Wrapped Bitcoin (WBTC), $7.2 million in Tether's USDT, $7 million in AAVE, and $6.7 million in Chainlink's LINK. Most of these token purchases were made prior to President Trump’s inauguration.

Sources close to WLFI suggest that the organization plans to continue increasing its TRX holdings in the near future, signaling a long-term commitment to the Tron network.
