On the opening day of the World Liberty Forum, WLFI rose by 18%, and Eric Trump stated that cryptocurrency is still at the "starting line."

According to The Block, on the opening day of the World Liberty Forum held by World Liberty Financial at Mar-a-Lago, its platform token WLFI rose by about 18%.

Co-founder Eric Trump stated that despite market fluctuations, the overall development of the cryptocurrency industry is still at the "one-yard line" stage, meaning the industry is still in its early days.

Eric Trump pointed out that an increasing number of traditional financial institutions are beginning to offer clients exposure to crypto assets and are incorporating digital assets into their strategic plans, indicating a shift in mainstream capital attitudes.

Meanwhile, financial services company Apex Group announced plans to test the USD 1 stablecoin launched by World Liberty in traditional fund management processes, aiming to accelerate the settlement efficiency of tokenized assets. USD 1 is currently the fifth largest dollar-pegged stablecoin by market capitalization, with a circulation exceeding $5 billion.
