Trump Releases Crypto Project Video
Former U.S. President Donald Trump tagged the DeFi trademark "World Liberty," previously registered by the Trump Group, on the X platform and released a video.
The video is a montage of Trump's speeches at various rallies, with audio from his speech at a Bitcoin conference in July, where he mentioned:
I will outline my plan to ensure that the United States becomes the global capital of crypto. They want to oppress you, they want to push you out of the market, we will not let that happen.
However, to date, Trump Group's so-called crypto project still lacks specific details.

Eric Trump Takes the Lead
Previously reported, to avoid conflicts of interest, the Trump Group is managed by his sons, Donald Trump Jr. and Eric Trump, but Trump himself still holds ownership of the group.
Therefore, it seems that the project is being led by Trump's son, Eric Trump, who emphasized in an interview that the current financial inclusivity in the United States is still too low, and cryptocurrencies and DeFi can help change the status quo and promote financial fairness.
In July, the Trump Group registered trademarks for crypto enterprises including "WORLD LIBERTY" and "BeDeFiant." On August 23, Trump also announced the name of the crypto project on Truth Social, then named The DeFiant Ones, and included a Telegram group link. The group currently has nearly sixty thousand members, while Twitter WLFI has 39,000 followers.
