UAE’s Aqua 1 Invests $100M in Trump-Backed World Liberty Financial Token

Aqua 1, a UAE-based Web3 investment fund, has acquired a $100 million stake in World Liberty Financial (WLFI), a DeFi protocol with ties to the TRUMP family. The move positions Aqua 1 as WLFI's largest token holder and signals growing institutional interest in blockchain-driven financial ecosystems.

The investment aims to accelerate development of a platform focused on real-world asset tokenization, stablecoin integration, and decentralized infrastructure. "This collaboration pioneers the institutional migration of traditional finance to decentralized finance," Aqua 1 stated, framing the partnership as a bridge between legacy systems and blockchain innovation.

WLFI Co-Founder Zak Folkman emphasized the alignment with Aqua 1's mission to democratize digital assets and strengthen cryptocurrency leadership. The deal underscores the increasing convergence of institutional capital and decentralized finance protocols.
