The launch of Donald Trump’s World Liberty Financial (WLF) platform is scheduled for today, but recent events have cast a shadow of uncertainty over the process.

World Liberty Financial is about to launch its highly anticipated event, which aims to redefine the landscape of decentralized finance. The event will be broadcast from Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago residence and will combine important political and technological topics.

However, the recent security alert related to an alleged assassination attempt on Trump near his golf course has led to increased security measures and raised questions about the timing and safety of the launch.

In addition, the initiative is intended to be more in line with the ideals of freedom and independence from traditional banking systems. The emphasis on decentralization and user empowerment is a central part of the WLF proposal.

Cryptocurrency promises and political implications

The launch of World Liberty Financial coincides with Trump’s presidential campaign, during which he has promised significant changes to U.S. crypto policy. Trump has portrayed himself as a supporter of blockchain technology and suggested that Bitcoin could be used to manage the national debt.

With the upcoming US elections, the political debate around cryptocurrencies has increased. According to a report by CoinGape, investors are confident that Bitcoin will hit $100,000, regardless of whether Donald Trump or Kamala Harris wins.

The security incident at Trump’s golf club has drawn attention to the potential vulnerabilities in World Liberty Financial’s launch, so WLF is at a critical juncture, reflecting Donald Trump’s political ambitions and DeFi initiatives.

In addition, analyses show Aave has increased 66% over 90 days, with the upward momentum remaining strong even after today’s launch.
