  • Trump’s World Liberty multisig wallet spends $12 million buying Ethereum, Chainlink and AAVE.
  • ETH price increased 2% following the purchase, while LINK and AAVE rally more than 20%.

Donald Trump-backed DeFi platform, World Liberty Financial (WFLI), spent $12 million on Ethereum (ETH), Chainlink (LINK), and Aave (AAVE) on Thursday, sparking a 2% rise in ETH and over 20% rallies in LINK and AAVE.

In November, WFLI already announced the integration of Chainlink and Aave into its Decentralized Finance (DeFi) ecosystem.

On November 14, WLFI announced that it would adopt the Chainlink standard for on-chain data and cross-chain connectivity as a secure way to bring DeFi into the next mass adoption stage. 

Moreover, on November 27, the platform’s DAO proposed deploying a World Liberty Financial Aave v3 instance on Ethereum Mainnet. This development would bring over-collateralized borrowing & lending to more users in DeFi.
