World Liberty Financial (WLFI), a cryptocurrency project supported by U.S. President Donald Trump, has concluded its token sale, successfully raising approximately $590 million.
According to data compiled by ICODrops, this fundraising amount places WLFI among the top ten token sales in history. Currently, the largest token sale is EOS, which raised a staggering $4.21 billion.
On the stage of the Consensus 2025 conference in Hong Kong, WLFI co-founder Zak Folkman attributed the success of the project’s token sale to Tron founder Justin Sun. Initially, WLFI faced challenges in attracting interest during its token sale launch, with the market generally skeptical about the project’s ability to raise the targeted funds. The situation changed only after Justin Sun invested $30 million in November 2024, followed by additional investments.
During the conference, Folkman stated: “When we launched this project, it was a very intense time. Due to the identity of the participants, our project was subjected to much scrutiny. This meant that traditional crypto venture capital firms avoided this token. However, Justin Sun believed that regardless of the outcome, this project represents a milestone advancement for the entire cryptocurrency community.”
According to the rules of the WLFI token sale, the token is only available to qualified investors and cannot be transferred or publicly sold on exchanges. A specific date for the token’s listing on exchanges has not yet been set.
