Cryptocurrency Melania Token Valued at $200 Million Following WLFI Trump's $1.5 Billion Treasury Launch
In an exciting development for the cryptocurrency market, World Liberty Financial (WLFI) has announced plans to merge traditional finance mechanisms with digital assets. The primary initiatives include a $1.5 billion treasury fund and a USD1 stablecoin loyalty rewards program tied to the Melania Token (MELANIA).
The $1.5 billion treasury fund will be raised through ALT5 Sigma Corporation, a publicly listed shell company on Nasdaq. WLFI tokens, including MELANIA, will be acquired as part of the same World Liberty ecosystem [1][3][5]. This treasury model, inspired by MicroStrategy’s strategy, aims to boost stock valuation and institutional access [1][4].
The USD1 loyalty rewards program, connected to MELANIA token, aims to leverage the WLFI stablecoin platform to bridge traditional finance and digital assets via decentralized finance (DeFi) applications. This rewards program is expected to increase user engagement and token utility, contributing to the token's liquidity and market growth [4].
The involvement of the Trump family—Donald Trump, Eric Trump, and Donald Trump Jr.—in overseeing the Nasdaq-listed treasury company underscores the project's high-profile backing and potential institutional interest, which could impact mainstream adoption and regulatory attention [1][2][4].
These developments have already shown positive effects, with WLFI seeing a 14% price rise following the announcements [4]. Greater institutional and retail investor access to MELANIA and linked tokens, as well as heightened market legitimacy and exposure, are expected outcomes [4].
However, challenges remain from regulatory clarity and crypto market volatility, which will influence the ultimate success of these programs [4].
At the moment, the price action suggests room for further gains in Melania Token, with the daily Relative Strength Index (RSI) at 52.7, below overbought territory. The price of MELANIA has broken through its 50-day moving average at $0.224 and is currently testing the upper Bollinger Band at around $0.23 [6]. If bulls secure a daily close above $0.23 with strong volume, the next upside target for Melania Token is $0.258 [7].
The price rally was fueled by World Liberty Financial's announcement of a USD1 loyalty rewards program [8]. Melania Token's market capitalization exceeded $190 million for the first time this month, and the token's price surged 14% this week, reaching $0.22 on Saturday, August 9 [9].
