Trump Fam WLFI + USD1 Land on Gemini, Binance, Coinbase
Love Them or Hate Them, They’re Here For It.
Okay, I know some of the girlies (and boys!) might not care about this news since the Trump crew is literally in the headlines every single day. So popularrrrr.
BUT if you care about blockchain … today’s headline matters.
It’s confirmation that legacy power players (yep, even political dynasties) are racing to carve out space in DeFi. And when politics, Wall Street and Web3 collide the ripple effects hit all of us.
NFA but … Cliff’s Notes: pay attention.
Gemini, Coinbase & Binance List Trump Tokens
World Liberty Financial (WLFI) and its sister stablecoin USD1 are now live for trading and custody (with the usual “not in every state” disclaimer) on Gemini (the crypto platform brought to us by the Winklevoss twins), Coinbase and Binance.
These moves have allegedly boosted the family's wealth on paper by ~$5 billion despite the fact that the WLFI token took a dive during its first days of being listed on the exchange.
It hit a high of ~40 cents after launching on Monday, according to data from CoinMarketCap. By early Tuesday morning, the value fell to ~21 cents before recovering to ~23 cents in the afternoon.
Note: Volatility like this is normal in the land of crypto during token drops.
WLFI: Trump Governance Token
WLFI is the governance token for World Liberty Financial, a DeFi + Web3 project founded by the Trump family and a circle of crypto industry vets.
Supply: 24.66B total, with 4B unlocked for public trading.
Use case: Governance rights for token holders to weigh in on project priorities.
Treasury play: 7.8B tokens head to ALT5 Sigma, a Trump-linked crypto treasury company that just raised $1.5B to build the vault.
USD1: Trump Stablecoin
Also born under the same brand, USD1 launched in March. It’s pegged 1:1 with the U.S. dollar, backed by cash + equivalents, and drops monthly reserve reports for transparency.
Lend, borrow, trade ~ USD1 works like other stablecoins but is positioned for cross-border transactions.
Target market: institutions, everyday investors, and DeFi users looking for “Trump-backed stability.”
Why It Matters
Both WLFI and USD1 are part of the Trump family’s World Liberty Financial empire. We need to recognize how political families and traditional finance are rushing to plant flags on-chain because this is a signal of where power, money, and influence are shifting.
Whether you’d ever touch a Trump-backed coin or not, this is your reminder: the suits are here, the dynasties are here, and the girlies better not sleep on it. DeFi isn’t just vibes anymore, it’s power moves.
Power + vibes,
Kelly Ann Collins
P.S. to my Winklevoss and Trump bros: I looked at your site and I don’t see many women - one female on the exec team at World Liberty and zero on the team at Gemini. Call me, maybe? #SpecialAdvisor #SheCryptoViber.
