Decentralised finance startup secures $100m from UAE

The decentralised finance (DeFi) platform World Liberty Financial that is linked to President Trump has secured a $100m investment from the UAE’s Aqua1 Fund. The funding marks a significant boost for the startup’s growth plans in the Web3 finance space.

This private funding round comes after World Liberty Financial’s earlier $550m public token sale completed in January 2025, underscoring strong investor interest in the platform.

The platform aims to simplify access to digital assets and provide new financial opportunities through innovative blockchain-based products. The fresh capital from Aqua1 Fund is expected to accelerate product development and expand the company’s reach in key markets, especially in the Middle East.
