Frax Finance has proposed a $5 million investment in World Liberty Financial (WLFI), a DeFi platform closely associated with Donald Trump’s administration. The move aims to position FRAX as a leader in the growing U.S.-based decentralized finance (DeFi) ecosystem. A potential follow-up investment of $10 million is also being considered, contingent on the success of the partnership.
Frax Finance Proposes $5M Investment In WLFI
The interest in U.S.-origin crypto initiatives has been fueled by the election of Donald Trump as the 47th President of the United States. The current administration has shown a great interest in the development of blockchain and cryptocurrencies. World Liberty Financial, a DeFi project that is closely aligned with Trump’s agenda of a crypto economy centred around the United States, has become a major player in this regard.
Frax Finance, which focuses on the algorithmic stablecoin, plans to incorporate frxUSD into the WLFI system. The proposal focuses on how the business can leverage on the governance structure, distribution network and partnership of WLFI.
As per the proposal, WLFI aims to bring millions of Americans into DeFi and help US based crypto projects. The first $5 million investment would enable FRAX to purchase WLFI tokens and thus become shareholders in its governance framework. A second phase of up to $10 million may be available if there is evidence of achievement of the initial goals.
WLFI’s Expanding Influence in U.S.-Based DeFi
Though Trump had been vocal on the campaign trail about supporting cryptocurrency and blockchain technologies, he has not yet officially mentioned Bitcoin or any other virtual currency since taking the oath of office. This has raised eyebrows especially given that his administration was known to have pledged support to U.S based digital currency projects. Nevertheless, the actions of WLFI seem to be aligned with the pro-crypto agenda and are expanding actively in the DeFi sector.
The platform has recently added the leading DeFi tokens to its portfolio, including Ethereum (ETH), Chainlink (LINK), AAVE (AAVE), and Wrapped Bitcoin (BTC). According to the data, the ETH assets of WLFI have reached more than $184 million and the company also has sizable investments in other products.
In its governance structure, the WLFI community has the ability to participate in decision making within the ecosystem. For instance, Ethena Labs recently used WLFI’s governance platform to propose the use of its stablecoin as collateral in Aave. Similar governance options are also being considered for the frxUSD that can further enhance the use of FRAX within the WLFI domain.
FRAX’s Strategic Position in the Partnership
Frax Finance has a unique position in this proposed collaboration due to its U.S. roots and co-founder Stephen Moore’s connection to the Trump administration.
Moore, a former economic advisor to Donald Trump, lends credibility to FRAX’s alignment with a U.S.-centric DeFi agenda.
The proposal outlines that this partnership would elevate FRAX’s status within the DeFi community. Integrating frxUSD as collateral in WLFI’s ecosystem could potentially increase adoption among millions of WLFI’s users. Additionally, FRAX stands to benefit from WLFI’s governance model, which could provide strategic influence over future decisions.
