Frax Finance Considers Strategic Investment in World Liberty Financial
Frax Finance’s community is currently evaluating a proposal to allocate up to $15 million towards World Liberty Financial (WLFI), a decentralized finance project associated with former US President Donald Trump’s family.
The proposal suggests an initial investment of $5 million to acquire WLFI tokens and establish a partnership, with a potential additional $10 million investment depending on the success of the initial allocation. Supporters of the proposal believe that this move could position Frax Finance within WLFI’s ecosystem, leveraging Trump’s involvement and pro-crypto stance.
The argument put forward is that WLFI has the potential to onboard millions of Americans to decentralized finance, and by aligning with WLFI, Frax Finance aims to strengthen its presence in the US crypto landscape. WLFI has already invested over $70 million in major DeFi projects such as Aave, Chainlink, and Ethereum, showcasing a strong track record in the space.
One key advantage of WLFI is its governance model, which allows token holders to influence critical decisions. Additionally, partnerships with industry giants like Chainlink and Ethena Labs provide further credibility to the project. The connection between Frax co-founder Stephen Moore, a former Trump economic advisor, and WLFI is also highlighted as a strategic benefit.
The proposal states, “By partnering with WLFI, FRAX would solidify its status as a premier US-origin stablecoin while benefiting from WLFI’s ecosystem and governance opportunities.”
However, the proposal has faced some pushback from community members who express concerns about the financial risks involved in such a significant investment. Some critics question whether Frax Finance can afford the commitment and highlight the potential for future dilution given WLFI’s high fully diluted valuation.
One community member shared, “Investing $5 million at a $5 billion fully diluted valuation in a project without a proven track record is extremely risky and unreasonable. Such a high FDV relative to the current market capitalization suggests significant potential for future dilution, which could negatively impact token value.”
The debate within the Frax Finance community regarding the potential $15 million investment in Trump’s World Liberty Financial continues to unfold, with both supporters and critics voicing their perspectives on the matter.
