Sui Partners with Trump Backed WLFI to Revolutionize DeFi

Sui, a prominent Layer 1 blockchain platform, has announced a significant partnership with World Liberty Financial (WLFI), a DeFi protocol partly owned by former President Donald Trump. This collaboration aims to foster a more open and transparent financial ecosystem, leveraging the strengths of both entities to drive innovation in the decentralized finance space.

As part of this strategic alliance, WLFI plans to incorporate Sui assets into its “Macro Strategy,” a strategic token reserve designed to support leading blockchain projects.
