U.S. President Donald Trump’s blockchain platform, World Liberty Financial (WLFI), has launched a new investment fund focused on Bitcoin, Ethereum (ETH), and other cryptocurrencies. The fund, called “Macro Strategy,” aims to support the growth of digital assets that are shaping the future of global finance.

The Macro Strategy fund is designed to strengthen the role of cryptocurrencies in the financial world. WLFI announced on Feb. 11 that the fund will invest in various blockchain projects and digital assets. The goal is to ensure stability by diversifying investments across different tokenized assets. This means the fund will spread its investments across various cryptocurrencies instead of focusing on just one or two.
WLFI stated that the fund will also explore new opportunities in decentralized finance (DeFi). This is a sector that allows people to conduct financial transactions without banks or traditional financial institutions.
Trump Family’s Growing Interest in Ethereum
The launch of this fund comes after recent speculation that the Trump family is planning to build a major business on Ethereum. Joseph Lubin, co-founder of Ethereum and CEO of blockchain firm Consensys, said on social media that he believes the Trump administration will use Ethereum for significant business ventures.
Lubin also suggested that Ethereum technology could be integrated into U.S. government activities, just like how internet protocols are widely used today.
WLFI has also acquired four Ethereum Name Service (ENS) domains, including trumpcoin.eth. The acquisitions took place shortly before his inauguration as the 47th President of the United States.
WLFI Trying to Connect Traditional Finance With Blockchain
WLFI is not just focusing on cryptocurrencies—it is also looking to partner with major financial institutions. According to the announcement, WLFI wants to bring traditional finance (TradFi) companies into the blockchain space. These partnerships would help traditional financial institutions gain exposure to blockchain technology and new marketing opportunities.
To outline its plans, WLFI will soon release a detailed proposal about how the Macro Strategy fund will operate.
Meanwhile, World Liberty Financial sold 20% of its WLFI token supply in its initial offering. Priced at 1.5 cents per token, the sale raised $300 million. While early demand was slow due to restrictions on U.S. retail investors, momentum picked up, allowing the sale to reach its target.
