World Liberty Financial, a cryptocurrency platform supported by the Trump family, made waves in the digital asset market on December 12, 2024, with major token purchases totaling $12 million.
The buying spree caused substantial price increases across several leading cryptocurrencies.
The project’s cryptocurrency wallet executed a series of purchases early Thursday, acquiring $10 million worth of Ethereum (ETH) and investing $1 million each in Aave (AAVE) and Chainlink (LINK) tokens.
ETH prices climbed 8% during Asian trading hours.
AAVE surged 33% to reach $356, while LINK jumped 30% to trade at $29.29.
World Liberty Financial is developing a DeFi platform using Chainlink’s infrastructure and plans to deploy an Aave v3 instance.
Donald Trump serves as “chief crypto advocate” while his sons Eric and Donald Jr. are “web3 ambassadors”.
The proposal has already received enough votes to meet quorum before its December 13 deadline.
Recently, World Liberty Financial has been working to expand its technological infrastructure and has integrated with Chainlink’s services to enhance its connectivity with the broader cryptocurrency ecosystem.
The recent price movement brings attention to Chainlink's expanding role in the DeFi ecosystem.
