World Liberty Financial’s largest backers are getting something that not even some world leaders have: direct access to the Trump family.
The $5mn Paywall: Trump’s Sons Offer a Private Line to Crypto Whales
13 March 2026 - 15:20 CET
The crypto project, which was founded and spearheaded by the family of US President Donald Trump, passed a proposal with an overwhelming majority to give World Liberty’s largest investors access to Trump’s three sons: Eric, Donald Jr and Barron.
WLFI and $TRUMP surge
Holders of the project’s native WLFI who lock $5mn worth of their tokens on World Liberty for a six-month period will get a communication line with Trump’s sons, though not the president himself. WLFI has risen nearly 6.5% in the past 24 hours to trade at around $0.108 at 14:15UTC, while the $TRUMP memecoin surged 35% to around $4.23 during the same period.
The move creates a premium tier of investors known as "Super Nodes," a development that appears to contrast with the project's earlier messaging about "democratizing finance."
The Trump connection
World Liberty started as the Trump family's flagship crypto venture in early 2025. While the president serves as "chief crypto advocate," the project’s day-to-day operations and governance are heavily steered by his sons. Since its launch, the project has expanded its roadmap to include foreign exchange trading and stablecoins, with its native USD1 token quickly becoming a focal point for the administration's broader digital asset policy.
Under the terms of the governance proposal, the "Super Nodes" will have preferential access to the business development team and family members to discuss partnership opportunities, effectively tokenizing the most valuable asset in Washington: proximity.
