About World Liberty Financial (WLF)

World Liberty Financial has a Telegram group which was previously called “The DeFiant Ones” – a reference to the crypto-based concept of decentralized finance (DeFi).

On August 22, 2024, Trump shared a message on his Truth Socal account, saying that for far too long, the average American has been squeezed by the big banks and financial elites and it’s time “we take a stand, together.”

On August 23, 2024, Donald Trump Jr. shared a message via Telegram, telling people that they know how crooked banks and financial institutions rig the systems against everyday Americans by:

• Shutting people out
• Denying them loans
• Drowning them in paperwork
• Killing them with legal and processing fees

He also mentioned how the Trump family has experienced all this firsthand by:

• Being debanked
• Being de-platformed
• Having every political game imaginable played on them

He also said that the banks and the elites who run the world want absolute control, but this will end.

He vowed to make finance great again by putting the power back in people’s hands. He mentioned the new DeFi platform that will but out the corrupt, expensive, and inefficient middlemen.

Trump Jr. said that it’s time to modernize an unfair and antiqued system and give people the same opportunities.

Then, on August 26, 2024, World Liberty Financial was created, “transforming decentralized finance forever.”
