UAE Firm Acquires $100M Stake in Trump-Linked WLFI Token

A United Arab Emirates-based company has purchased $100 million worth of WLFI tokens, becoming the largest holder of the governance token tied to World Liberty Financial. The cryptocurrency platform has connections to former U.S. President Donald Trump and his family, drawing political scrutiny amid concerns over foreign influence.

The investment by Aqua1 Foundation surpasses TRON founder Justin Sun's previous $30 million commitment. The deal aims to accelerate development of blockchain infrastructure for real-world asset tokenization and stablecoin adoption. "Aqua1 and WLFI will collaborate to identify transformative blockchain projects," said Dave Lee, founding partner at Aqua1.

This transaction marks another high-profile association between the TRUMP family and cryptocurrency ventures. The partnership positions WLFI at the intersection of traditional finance and decentralized protocols, with Aqua1 describing the integration as a "trillion-dollar pivot opportunity."
