The former US president and current Republican Party nominee for the office wasn’t more specific in a video message on the X social media platform on Thursday. The post included a link to World Liberty Financial, a decentralized finance project that his sons have been promoting. While few details have been revealed, the metadata of the website describes the project as the “cutting-edge” DeFi platform that will connect users with “decentralized finance’s best tools for secure, high-yield crypto investments.” Crypto publication CoinDesk first reported the details from the site.
