rewrite this title Donald Trump Linked World Liberty Financial Debuts Macro Reserve to Weather Volatility – Decrypt

World Liberty Financial (WLFI), a decentralized finance (DeFi) platform with ties to U.S. President Donald Trump, has launched a new initiative aimed at weathering the volatile crypto markets.

Designed to support prominent cryptos such as Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH), WLFI’s ‘Macro Strategy’ token reserve will provide a buffer against the fluctuations that have been rattling the crypto market for the past few months.

“The Macro Strategy will serve as a robust financial backbone for WLFI,” the platform said in its announcement.

Just last week, the global markets experienced a sharp downturn, triggered by Trump’s announcement of new tariffs, which led to a series of massive crypto liquidations.

A drastic 5% drop in Bitcoin and a 10% dip in Ethereum demonstrates the kind of turbulence that WLFI now seeks to mitigate.

WLFI’s new token reserve’s key goals are to navigate market volatility, diversify assets, and bolster the platform’s long-term stability.

As part of the initiative, WLFI is reportedly engaging with financial institutions to contribute tokenized assets to the reserve.

“Contributed assets will be held in WLFI’s publicly accessible wallet, providing institutions with transparent exposure to the crypto community,” WLFI stated.

WLFI recently bought $470,000 worth of ONDO tokens, showing its growing interest in Ondo Finance—a platform that facilitates tokenization of RWAs, or real-world assets. Experts have estimated the RWA market could reach $50 billion this year.

The Ondo Chain, launched this week, seeks to create institutional-grade financial markets on-chain, and WLFI’s purchase reflects its mission to “bridge traditional finance and decentralized finance.”

WLFI’s financial trajectory has seen significant fluctuations in the past week.

Following a massive sell-off, WLFI’s once-bloated portfolio of over $360 million has dwindled to about $38 million, according to Arkham Intelligence data.

This sharp decline follows WLFI’s decision to move large portions of its assets, including Ethereum and Wrapped Bitcoin (wBTC), to crypto exchanges.
