The latest move into commemorative coins by Trump is part of a wider involvement with cryptocurrency, having declared support for digital currencies. He went as far as to call himself the “Crypto President.” The latest foray into the world of DeFi will be his project entitled World Liberty Financial. That is a platform intended to let people borrow and lend a host of cryptocurrencies on the Ethereum network.

Although the details on World Liberty Financial are still limited, Trump’s son explained that the project was aimed at presenting an opportunity to get financial deals for people who often find it difficult to obtain bank loans and other major financial instruments.

Trump himself has demonstrated interest in any potential perks emanating from DeFi, a position wholly aligned with his very public support of cryptocurrencies earlier this year. In a recent campaign stop in New York, he garnered press attention by paying for food with Bitcoin.
