Justin Sun Increases Investment in World Liberty Financial
Tron founder Justin Sun announced that he has increased his investments in World Liberty Financial. Sun made the announcement that Tron DAO has invested an additional $45 million in WLFI, thereby bringing their total investment to $75 million.
Sun, who became an advisor to WLFI in November, previously facilitated a $30 million investment from his project into the DeFi initiative. The WLFI token, which cannot be sold or transferred, will serve as the governance token for the project’s upcoming decentralized crypto trading platform. Thus, it grants holders voting rights on community proposals.
Apart from selling its own tokens, World Liberty Financial has also been buying a large number of Ethereum from the open market. The Donald Trump-backed DeFi project accumulated a large quantity of Ethereum from the open market in the last 24 hours.
