Crypto exchanges including Kraken, HTX and KuCoin said they will open trading for World Liberty Financial’s WLFI token on 1 September, joining Binance, Bybit and several other major venues that have already confirmed listings. WLFI, co-founded by President Donald Trump and his sons, is designed as the governance and utility token for a DeFi platform that issues USD1, a stablecoin backed by real-world assets aimed at reinforcing the dollar’s role in digital finance. CoinMarketCap data indicate WLFI will launch with a circulating supply of roughly five billion tokens. The wide exchange support positions the asset for one of the broadest debuts of the year and reflects growing institutional appetite for politically connected digital-asset projects. Digital-asset manager Canary Capital has separately filed for an exchange-traded fund that would track the price of the TRUMP meme coin. The listings come as the Trump family’s involvement in the cryptocurrency sector deepens. American Bitcoin, a mining company backed by Donald Trump Jr. and Eric Trump, plans to begin trading on Nasdaq in early September through a merger with Gryphon Digital Mining. The combined entity, to trade under the ticker ABTC, aims to become the largest pure-play bitcoin miner in the United States, with Canadian infrastructure provider Hut 8 retaining an 80% stake. Taken together, the WLFI rollout and American Bitcoin’s market debut underscore how political pedigree is becoming an increasingly prominent factor in U.S. crypto finance, even as regulators continue to refine the industry’s rulebook.
