Trump’s DeFi Platform Could Boost Ethereum, Ondo Finance, and AAVE in 2025

Donald Trump’s new decentralized finance (DeFi) platform, World Liberty Financial (WLFI), is making waves in the crypto world.

The platform, co-founded by Trump and his sons, Donald Jr. and Eric, is investing $77 million in various cryptocurrencies, with a focus on Ethereum, Ondo Finance, and AAVE.

Ethereum Leads the Way

WLFI’s biggest investment is in Ethereum (ETH), with $61.19 million allocated to the blockchain. Ethereum is a key player in the crypto space, powering many decentralized apps (dApps), non-fungible tokens (NFTs), and smart contracts.

Despite its price fluctuations, Ethereum remains a top choice for developers and investors, and WLFI’s investment shows confidence in its long-term value.

Ondo Finance: Bridging Real-World Assets and Crypto

WLFI has also invested in Ondo Finance (OND), a platform that tokenizes real-world assets like U.S. Treasury bills. This allows for new investment opportunities backed by government securities.

Ondo has partnered with BlackRock, a leading asset management company, helping it stand out in the growing real-world asset market, which is expected to reach $50 billion by 2025.

AAVE: Powering DeFi Lending and Borrowing

AAVE, a popular DeFi platform for lending and borrowing, is another key investment for WLFI. With a $2 million investment, WLFI is using AAVE’s technology to build its own lending platform. AAVE benefits from the relationship by receiving a share of WLFI’s fees and token supply.

As Trump’s inauguration approaches, WLFI’s investments in Ethereum, Ondo Finance, and AAVE are expected to play a major role in shaping the future of decentralized finance.

These moves show Trump’s shift from being skeptical about crypto to supporting it as a key part of his financial strategy.
