Trump-Backed World Liberty Financial Bets Big on Web3: $6M Injection into Vaulta for Crypto Banking Revolution

Wall Street meets blockchain—again. World Liberty Financial, the fintech firm with ties to Donald Trump, just dropped $6 million into Vaulta’s lap. Their mission? To bulldoze traditional banking’s moat with Web3 infrastructure.

The play: Vaulta’s building the pipes for decentralized finance (DeFi) to go mainstream. Think crypto wallets with FDIC insurance vibes—but without the suits.

Why it matters: When legacy finance players start writing checks to crypto startups, it’s either a genius pivot or a Hail Mary. Bonus points for the irony: the same institutions that mocked Bitcoin now need it to stay relevant.

The bottom line: $6 million won’t overthrow JPMorgan, but it’s another crack in the dam. Watch for more ‘regulated DeFi’ plays—and prepare for buzzword bingo from every bank CEO next earnings call.

• World Liberty Financial partners with Vaulta, investing $6 million to boost Web3 banking in the U.S.
• WLFI integrates its USD1 stablecoin as Vaulta adds a token to its Macro Strategy reserve.
• WLFI’s ETH holdings hit $275 million, while USD1 stablecoin rises to the world’s top five by volume.

World Liberty Financial (WLFI), a decentralized finance platform with close ties to President Trump’s family, has revealed a $6 million venture collaboration with Vaulta, a U.S.-based Web3 banking network. The announcement made on July 23 aims to expand Web3 banking usage and enhance the integration of blockchain and traditional financial markets in the United States.

Under the agreement, the stablecoin USD1 at WLFI will be included in Vaulta’s Web3 financial infrastructure. This transfer aims to support secure and efficient financial operations including tokenized assets, decentralized payments, and yield strategies. Additionally, Vaulta’s native digital asset, rebranded as “A” after its transition from EOS, will be added to WLFI’s Macro Strategy reserve.

Partnering with @worldlibertyfi is an exciting milestone for Vaulta as we reimagine the future of Web3 Banking.

Both @Vaulta_ and WLFI believe in a more accessible and transparent financial system, one powered by real-world asset tokenization and seamless payment solutions.… https://t.co/lnlJ7DWmfj pic.twitter.com/asJa44gVLI

World Liberty’s Macro Strategy Reserve Gains A Token Exposure

World Liberty Financial had acquired $6 million worth of EOS tokens in May 2025, before Vaulta’s rebrand. These holdings were converted to Vaulta’s “A” token in a 1:1 ratio, adding them to WLFI’s official reserves. Additionally, this reserve strategy includes high-value digital assets, such as Bitcoin and Ethereum, and aims to support blockchain projects.

Vaulta, formerly EOS Network,  shifted its focus to banking infrastructure earlier this year. Its new mission aims to integrate traditional and decentralized finance to create on-chain banking tools. By listing Vaulta’s token on its platform, WLFI indicates its Optimism on the platform’s potential to reshape the financial market in the United States.

A separate partnership between Vaulta and Bosun Wealth Holdings has also been used to expand blockchain infrastructure in Hong Kong—the recent U.S.-based partnership with WLFI deepens its institutional coverage.

WLFI’s Stablecoin and Ethereum Holdings 

The collaboration marks a key development for both companies, as it introduces the stablecoin USD1 into the services offered by Vaulta. Notably, the company’s USD1 stablecoin launched in March 2025 has witnessed fast growth within months. Its circulation volume exceeded a notable $2.1 billion, placing it among the top-five stablecoins globally.

The increase in adoption of the USD1 stablecoin was driven by a $2 billion investment that involved the Abu Dhabi-based MGX fund and Binance, which made the stablecoin a preferred asset for large-scale transactions.

World Liberty Financial also purchased 3,473 ethereum (ETH) on July 22, according to Arkham Intelligence. This acquisition, estimated to be worth $13 million, increased the company’s total holdings of ETH tokens to about 73,616 tokens worth $275 million. Moreover, the increase in Ethereum holdings under the control of WLFI reflects a continued rise in institutional interest in ETH, and ETFs have led to increased inflows.

U.S. Regulatory Focus and Political Influence

World Liberty Financial and Vaults’ collaboration coincides with new crypto-focused bills, like the GENIUS Act and CLARITY Act, which clarify regulatory standards for digital assets.  

However, there is complexity presented by the family’s majority stake in WLFI and the platform seeking to make the WLFI governance token tradable as regulators investigate the intersection between political influence and emerging financial technology.
