US President Donald Trump’s blockchain platform launched a strategic reserve fund to back the growth of some of the biggest cryptocurrencies.
Trump’s World Liberty Financial (WLFI) decentralized finance platform unveiled the “Macro Strategy” fund for Bitcoin BTCUSD, Ether ETHUSD and other cryptocurrencies “at the forefront of reshaping global finance.”
According to a Feb. 11 announcement, the fund aims to strengthen those projects and expand their roles in the evolving financial ecosystem:
The fund aims to “enhance stability” by diversifying the platform’s holdings across a “spectrum of tokenized assets” to ensure a “resilient financial system” and to invest in “emerging opportunities within the DeFi landscape.”
The announcement comes three weeks after widespread speculation about the Trump family launching a “giant” business on Ethereum, according to Joseph Lubin, co-founder of Ethereum and founder of Consensys.
“Based on what I am aware of, the Trump family will build one or more giant businesses on Ethereum,” Lubin wrote. “The Trump administration will do what is good for the USA, and that will involve ETH.”
Lubin suggested that the Trump administration might eventually integrate Ethereum technology into government activities, similar to its current use of internet protocols.
Trump’s WLFI targets institutional TradFi partnerships
The Trump family’s DeFi platform will also be working toward more partnerships with traditional finance (TradFi) institutions, according to the announcement, which stated:
It added that TradFi institutions partnering with WLFI’s new fund will gain public blockchain visibility and innovative marketing opportunities.
WLFI is set to release a comprehensive proposal for the Macro Strategy fund on its governance forum shortly.
Meanwhile, Bitcoin’s institutional adoption continues as the University of Austin is set to raise a first-of-its-kind Bitcoin fund worth over $5 million as part of the institution’s $200 million endowment fund, Cointelegraph reported on Feb. 9.
