World Liberty Financial, a DeFi project tied to the Trump family, is in talks to raise $1.5B from investors to create a publicly traded treasury company for its WLFI tokens. Bloomberg and Fortune report that the deal is moving quickly.

Eric Trump and Donald Trump Jr. are set to join the board, while President Donald Trump is listed as “co-founder emeritus.” The involvement has sparked conflict-of-interest criticism.
