Donald Trump and his associates from DT Marks DEFI LLC have reportedly earned approximately $390 million from the sale of the World Liberty Financial (WLFI) token. The project raised a total of $550 million in two sales rounds. Trump, while not directly involved in the project, is designated as a promoter and holds rights to 75% of the net revenue after operational costs, with $30 million reserved for expenses. Interest in the token surged after Trump's return to the presidency, with notable investments drawn by prominent figures in the cryptocurrency space. The project reportedly intends to use Trump's name and likeness to bolster its market presence, leading to significant financial payouts for him and his business partners. The situation raises questions about potential conflicts of interest in Trump's involvement with crypto ventures as his administration shapes regulatory frameworks for the industry.
