U.S.
Republican
presidential
candidate
Donald
Trump
took
to
the
social-media
platform
X
to
tout
World
Liberty
Financial,
a
new
crypto
project
promoted
by
his
family,
after
initial
sales
of
the
platform’s
new
WLFI
tokens
fell
well
short
of
the
target.
Trump’s
post
came
late
in
the
U.S.
day
on
Tuesday,
several
hours
after
the
tokens
were
initially
made
available.
Some
$9
million
of
the
tokens
were
sold
as
of
press
time,
some
3%
of
the
total
tokens
allocated
to
the
public
sale.
“Today’s
the
day!”
Trump
said
in
an
X
announcement.
