<p>The timing seems tailor-made, as this crypto sale occurs barely <strong>three weeks before the presidential election on November 5</strong>. Coincidence? Perhaps not, as Trump intends to draw attention to his innovative project in the midst of the electoral campaign.</p> 
<p>“<em>This token sale is a unique opportunity to shape the future of finance</em>“, he declared with his usual enthusiasm.</p> 
<h2 id="h-the-market-in-turmoil-with-world-liberty-financial">The market in turmoil with World Liberty Financial</h2> 
<p>World Liberty Financial is not just selling tokens; the project is ambitious with the <strong>development of a crypto debit card</strong> allowing spending of stablecoins with real-world merchants.</p> 
<p>Additionally, a recent proposal on the Aave governance forum mentions the <strong>launch of a version of Aave v3 on Ethereum</strong>, with initial support for USDC and USDT stablecoins, as well as for ETH and WBTC.</p>
