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.”

Specialized AI detects 92% of real-world DeFi exploits
New research claims specialized AI dramatically outperforms general-purpose models at detecting exploited DeFi vulnerabilities.
What to know:
- A purpose-built AI security agent detected vulnerabilities in 92% of 90 exploited DeFi contracts ($96.8 million in exploit value), compared with 34% and $7.5 million for a baseline GPT-5.1-based coding agent running on the same underlying model.
- The gap came from domain-specific security methodology layered on top of the model, not differences in core AI capability, according to the report.
- The findings come as prior research from Anthropic and OpenAI shows AI agents can execute end-to-end smart contract exploits at low cost, accelerating concerns that offensive AI capabilities are scaling faster than defensive adoption.
