Frax Finance has proposed a $5 million investment in World Liberty Financial (WLFI), a DeFi platform tied to Donald Trump’s administration. This move aims to solidify FRAX’s leadership in the expanding U.S.-based DeFi sector.
A second investment of $10 million is also on the table, depending on the success of the partnership. The election of Donald Trump as the 47th president has spurred interest in U.S.-origin crypto initiatives.

While Trump hasn’t officially mentioned Bitcoin or cryptocurrencies since taking office, his administration has backed U.S.-focused blockchain projects. WLFI, aligned with Trump’s pro-crypto agenda, has emerged as a key player, aiming to onboard millions of Americans into DeFi.
Frax Finance plans to integrate its algorithmic stablecoin, frxUSD, into WLFI’s ecosystem. The initial $5 million will secure WLFI tokens, granting FRAX governance influence. If the partnership succeeds, FRAX could invest another $10 million to expand its role in WLFI’s network.
WLFI’s portfolio includes top DeFi tokens like Ethereum, Chainlink, AAVE, and Wrapped Bitcoin, with ETH assets surpassing $184 million. Its governance model allows users to shape the ecosystem, enhancing the adoption of projects like FRAX.
Frax Finance’s U.S. roots and co-founder Stephen Moore’s ties to the Trump administration strengthen its alignment with WLFI’s vision. By integrating frxUSD, FRAX could boost its influence in the DeFi sector while driving U.S.-based crypto adoption.
