World Liberty Financial (WLF), a decentralized finance (DeFi) project associated with President elect Donald Trump’s family, has announced plans to establish a “strategic reserve” of cryptocurrency assets. The announcement was made by WLF co-founder Chase Herro at the Ondo Summit in New York, where Donald Trump Jr. also expressed strong support for the digital asset industry.
