Trump's World Liberty Crypto Project Targets Offshore Markets, Limits US Token Offering To Just $30M

Donald Trump supported decentralized finance protocol World Liberty Financial is reportedly marketing its $300 million offering of tokens primarily offshore.

What Happened: World Liberty currently plans to sell only $30 million of tokens in the U.S., according to a Bloomberg report, which cited a filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC.)

Once it touches the $30 million threshold, World Liberty will terminate the U.S. offering despite having tokens worth about $288.5 million available for sale, the report said, noting that most token issuances are done offshore due to heavy scrutiny in the U.S.

World Liberty is being promoted by Trump and his sons. Since Oct. 15, it has raised about $2.7 million by selling tokens to 348 U.S. investors, according to the filing.

Why It Matters: World Liberty is based in Wilmington, Delaware. In the filing with the SEC, Donald Trump, Donald (Jr) Trump, Eric Trump, Steven Witkoff, Axiom Management Group, WC DigitalFi LLC, and DT Marks DEFI LLC are listed as promoters of the project.

“This person is included for informational purposes and does not reflect a determination that such person is a “promoter” as defined under Rule 405 of the Securities Act,” the filing said.

Puerto Rico-based Axiom Management Group owners Zachary Folkman and Chase Herro, meanwhile, are listed as executive officers and directors of the project.
