- WLFI invests $3M in MNT as part of a $343M crypto strategy but faces a $109M floating loss despite aggressive acquisitions.
- WLFI’s $550M token sale, with 85K+ verified buyers, signals strong investor confidence in its vision and regulatory approach.
- Trump’s crypto-friendly stance grows as the U.S. considers a Bitcoin reserve, while the IMF acknowledges BTC as digital gold.
According to Wu Blockchain, the Trump-supporting WLFI project invested $3 million in buying 3.539 million MNT tokens, averaging $0.84 per token. The purchase forms a portion of overall $343 million worth of 11 cryptos, including Ethereum (ETH), Wrapped Bitcoin (WBTC), and Avalanche (AVAX). But through forceful purchases, WLFI has a net floating loss of approximately $109 million.
WLFI’s Historic Token Sale and Market Impact
Besides its large-scale acquisitions, WLFI successfully raised $550 million last Monday through its token sale. Notably, the sale attracted over 85,000 KYC-verified participants, making it one of the most significant crypto fundraises in recent history. This event reflects growing investor confidence in WLFI’s long-term vision.
Moreover, the project’s focus on community engagement, transparency, and scalability has drawn considerable attention. The influx of institutional and retail investors suggests a rising demand for projects with clear regulatory compliance. Additionally, the project’s strong backing from prominent figures has played a pivotal role in its rapid market adoption.
Political and Institutional Influence on Crypto Policy
WLFI is among several crypto ventures linked to the Trump family, aligning with the administration’s pro-crypto stance. President Trump established a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve earlier this month by signing an executive order. The White House has alluded to the possibility of purchasing Bitcoin with US gold reserves. The Bitcoin Act of 2025 supports this initiative, aiming to secure one million BTC for national economic stability.
The market is also fueled by institutional engagement in addition to government involvement. Before taking office, David Sacks, the AI and cryptocurrency czar, sold off more than $200 million in of digital assets. When he implements regulatory policies, the activity is seen as an attempt to remove any possible conflicts of interest.
Additionally, the International Monetary Fund (IMF) acknowledged Bitcoin as digital gold. Reports indicate that the IMF plans to incorporate BTC into its Special Drawing Rights (SDR) index. This recognition further legitimizes Bitcoin’s role in global finance.
