Donald Trump’s WLFI Token Launch Nets $5M, but Technical Issues Spark Concerns

• Despite raising $5M, technical issues and unclear goals have cast doubt over the WLFI token’s long-term viability.
• Experts advise caution, suggesting alternative investments like Bitcoin due to the technical challenges faced by WLFI.

Following recent developments, as CNF recently reported, Donald Trump aims to make the United States the “Crypto Capital” of the world. Donald Trump’s WLFI token launch netted $5 million; however, technical issues have sparked concerns.

According to data from Etherscan, World Liberty Financial (WLFI), a new token project endorsed by Donald Trump, faced significant technical challenges shortly after its launch on October 15.

Despite raising $5 million within the first hour of sales, the WLFI website went down, and transaction data indicated interruptions in the token’s availability, as shared in a recent tweet.

This rocky start has fueled skepticism within the crypto community, especially given Trump’s absence from the launch event and the project’s timing near the election.

Skepticism Grows Over WLFI’s Future

While the token launch aimed to raise $300 million, concerns arose due to unclear technical goals and the project’s selective accessibility to accredited investors. As of this writing, the WLFI website remains down, and the project’s ability to manage high demand remains in question, leaving uncertainty over its long-term viability.

Some experts, like Manuel Ferrari, co-founder of Money On Chain, advised caution, suggesting potential buyers might be better off investing in Bitcoin. According to CoinMarketCap data, Bitcoin (BTC) is trading at $67,876.97, having surged by 3.66% in the past day and 9.35% in the past week.
