Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump is pumping the Trump Organization’s new crypto platform, which has just been rebranded from “The DeFiant Ones,” to “World Liberty Financial.”
In a post to his 90 million followers on X, the former president shared a video of himself with voiceover: “This afternoon, I’m laying out my plan to ensure that the United States will be the crypto capital of the planet. They want to choke you. They want to choke you out of business. We’re not going to let that happen.”
It was unclear who Trump meant by “they,” and a Trump campaign spokesman did not immediately respond to questions about the announcement from CNBC.
In his post, Trump tagged a verified X account called “World Liberty Fi,” or WLFI. The account has more than 20,000 followers and a handful of posts that began on Aug. 22.
The project also involves Trump’s sons, Donald Trump Jr. and Eric Trump.
