World Liberty Finance is helmed by Trump’s sons, Eric Trump and Donald Trump Jr, and the 18-year-old Barron Trump is the project's "DeFi visionary.”
A draft of the World Liberty Financial whitepaper received by CoinDesk shows the project will include a "credit account system" built on DeFi platform Aave and the Ethereum blockchain – to facilitate decentralized borrowing and lending.
Broadcast messages on the World Liberty Finance Telegram channel show plans for stablecoins pegged to the U.S. dollar - stating the project wants to “spread U.S.-pegged stablecoins around the world” to “ensure that the U.S. dollar’s dominance continues.”
