3-8-2025 – Eric Trump, son of US President Donald Trump, will ring the Nasdaq opening bell on August 14, 2025, to celebrate a $1.5 billion partnership between World Liberty Financial (WLFI), a Trump family-backed decentralized finance platform, and ALT5 Sigma Corporation.
The event marks a significant step for WLFI’s ambition to simplify DeFi and bolster the US dollar’s role in crypto markets.ALT5 Sigma, a digital asset trading and payment solutions provider, raised $1.5 billion through a 200 million share sale to acquire 7.5% of WLFI’s token supply, establishing a corporate treasury focused on the WLFI token. Eric Trump, newly appointed to ALT5 Sigma’s board to oversee its digital asset strategy, emphasized the synergy between WLFI’s USD1 stablecoin and ALT5’s payment technology, calling it a “game-changer” for the DeFi sector.
The partnership aims to enhance WLFI’s accessibility, offering user-friendly tools for borrowing, lending, and investing in digital assets. The Nasdaq event is expected to generate significant market buzz, signaling confidence in WLFI’s vision and attracting new investors. Launched in September 2024, WLFI leverages the Trump family’s influence to promote stablecoin adoption and DeFi innovation, though its centralized governance has sparked debate. The platform’s integration with Aave V3 and partnerships with firms like Ethena Labs further strengthen its market position.
