Aqua 1 Foundation to Acquire $100M in Trump-Backed WLFI Governance Tokens

Aqua 1 Foundation, a UAE-based Web3 investment group, has announced plans to purchase $100 million worth of WLFI governance tokens from World Liberty Financial (WLFI), a DeFi platform inspired by former U.S. President Donald Trump. The acquisition will grant Aqua 1 decision-making authority within the blockchain-based platform, which aims to revolutionize financial systems through tokenization of real-world assets.

The partnership seeks to bridge traditional finance with digital assets, enabling seamless trading and tracking of tokenized properties and equities. Zak Folkman, WLFI co-founder, emphasized the strategic alignment: "Collaborating with Aqua 1 validates our blueprint for global financial innovation." The deal underscores growing institutional interest in blockchain infrastructure that supports asset digitization.

Aqua 1 will facilitate WLFI's expansion into emerging markets across South America, Europe, and Asia. The initiative reflects broader industry momentum toward integrating conventional finance with decentralized technologies, positioning the U.S. at the forefront of crypto innovation.
