World Liberty Financial (WLFI), a DeFi venture associated with US President Donald Trump, has become the focus of a governance dispute. The controversy follows speculation about its potential ties to Aave, the leading decentralized lending protocol.

Aave Founder Insists Deal Remains On Shortly after, crypto users referenced a late-2024 governance proposal. The document suggested that Aave could receive 7% of WLFI’s total token supply, an allocation worth nearly $3 billion at current prices.

These claims appeared to have drawn swift attention from the WLFI team. A representative linked to WLFI told Wu Blockchain that no such arrangement existed, dismissing the reports as inaccurate. “The WLFI team told WuBlockchain that the claim that ‘Aave will receive 7% of the total WLFI token supply’ is false and fake news,” Wu Blockchain reported.
