World Liberty Financial, a cryptocurrency project backed by President Donald Trump, announced a strategic token reserve Tuesday to “bolster” projects like Bitcoin (CRYPTO: BTC) and Ethereum (CRYPTO: ETH).
What Happened: World Liberty Financial took to X to reveal the so-called “Macro Strategy,” meant to serve as a “robust financial backbone” for its decentralized finance project.
The reserve aims to mitigate market volatility by diversifying holdings across tokenized assets. Additionally, the asset pool would enable World Liberty Financial to invest in “innovative” projects and support ecosystem development.
The platform stated that it was working with financial institutions to receive tokenized assets, which would be stored in its publicly accessible wallet.

Why It Matters: This announcement comes amid World Liberty Financial’s strategic purchases of several DeFi-linked coins to build its platform.
The platform swapped $5 million in USD Coin (CRYPTO: USDC) for Ethereum on Tuesday, taking its overall ETH holdings to $48.39 million, according to Spotonchain. Its stockpile also consisted of $9 million in Wrapped Bitcoin (CRYPTO: WBTC) and $9.8 million in Tron (CRYPTO: TRX) as of this writing, along with holdings in Chainlink (CRYPTO: LINK) and Aave (CRYPTO: AAVE).
The project was launched last year to allow users to borrow, lend, and earn interest on funds through the DeFi route. The WLFI token would serve as the platform's governance token.
The project was aggressively promoted by Trump and his family, and a firm associated with the President-elect, DT Marks DEFI, LLC, stands to receive 75% of the protocol revenue.
