🪙 Trump-Backed Crypto Listings This September

📊 News flash: In crypto big moves, the Trump family-backed World Liberty Financial ($WLFI) token officially debuts on September 1, unlocking spot and futures trading on leading crypto exchanges like OKX, Binance, and Bybit.

Meanwhile, American Bitcoin (ABTC), the new bitcoin mining venture backed by U.S. President Donald J. Trump’s two sons, Eric Trump and Donald Trump Jr., plans to go public early September through an all-stock merger with Gryphon Digital Mining Inc., allowing the firm to start trading on Nasdaq soon.  

In-depth

WLFI 🌍

The highly hyped token began trading at 12:00 UTC on September 1 with spot trading, where users could own, trade, and withdraw $WLFI directly. Binance officially listed news spot trading pairs WLFI/USDT and WLFI/USDC. Many platforms, such as KuCoin, MEXC, Binance, OKX, and Kraken, are asking for mandatory KYC verification for traders.

CoinGecko data shows the WLFI market cap is just below $7 billion, and its 24-hour trading volume on September 2 was estimated at $2.77 billion, suggesting significant trading activity and high investor interest.

“Big day—World Liberty Financial just launched the WLFI token,” said Donald Trump Jr. on X. Early investors who made initial $WLFI token purchases at significantly low prices are now making massive gains, almost 20X returns.

American Bitcoin 🪙

According to Hut 8 CEO Asher Genoot, who holds 80% of ABTC, the potential merger of the unlisted firm with Gryphon Digital Mining Inc. (GRYP) will be finalized shortly, and trading could start in early September.

The firm will retain its name “American Bitcoin” and trade under the ticker ABTC.  Company co-founders, Eric Trump and his brother, Donald Trump Jr., and Hut 8 will hold 98% of the total shares, and the remaining 2% will go to the existing shareholders.

Early or lead investors have already been finalized with Gemini co-founders Tyler and Cameron Winklevoss, said Genoot.

Genoot added that American Bitcoin wants to foster inclusivity by investing in companies outside the U.S. It aims to make publicly-listed Bitcoin assets accessible in countries where buying Nasdaq-listed stocks is restricted.

Despite Donald Trump’s recent crypto controversies, Genoot says American Bitcoin is a private business and not involved with the government. Eric Trump, the co-founder, focuses on strategic decisions, treasury strategy, and Bitcoin mining strategy.

How 433 Investors Unlocked 400X Return Potential

Institutional investors back startups to unlock outsized returns. Regular investors have to wait. But not anymore. Thanks to regulatory updates, some companies are doing things differently.

Take Revolut. In 2016, 433 regular people invested an average of $2,730. Today? They got a 400X buyout offer from the company, as Revolut’s valuation increased 89,900% in the same timeframe.

Founded by a former Zillow exec, Pacaso’s co-ownership tech reshapes the $1.3T vacation home market. They’ve earned $110M+ in gross profit to date, including 41% YoY growth in 2024 alone. They even reserved the Nasdaq ticker PCSO.

The same institutional investors behind Uber, Venmo, and eBay backed Pacaso. And you can join them. But not for long. Pacaso’s investment opportunity ends September 18.
