I have spent quite some time reviewing the latest developments of WLFI. The step of applying for a U.S. trust bank license under its entity is, to be honest, not just a simple concept packaging but a genuine strategic upgrade.
As someone who has been following this project continuously, I understand very well what this means. A trust bank license is not a game; it signifies a serious move towards crypto asset custody and stablecoin exchange. In other words, shifting from traffic-driven to real business-driven growth. What is custody business? It’s the prerequisite for major players like sovereign funds and traditional investment banks to enter the market. They need licensed institutions to safeguard crypto assets, which gives them the confidence to make significant investments. Plus, with the already issued USD1 stablecoin—fully backed by USD assets—the ecosystem becomes quite complete.
Looking at the project's own conditions, it has support from the Trump family, with small Trump and Eric serving as Web3 ambassadors. Trump himself publicly supports cryptocurrencies. The crypto regulatory policies he is pushing are still being implemented, and this wave of policy benefits will not fade in the short term. The team is also well-structured, with founders from Paxos and Dolomite involved. Two rounds of private funding have already raised $550 million, and funds from the Middle East are also coming in, making the capital situation look quite stable.
Regarding the price, my view has always been straightforward. The current market price is about $0.34, with the first target at $0.47. Based on the progress of licensing and institutional capital entering, this price level can be seen in the short term. Looking further ahead, $4.7 is not an impossible target.

0.34 to 4.7, is it really that simple?
---
Getting the license is definitely a real effort, but will institutions really come...
---
Wait, how long can the Trump family endorsement really hold up?
---
Raising 550 million USD is quite a lot; it all depends on whether the team can get things done
---
USD1 stablecoin backed 100% by USD sounds pretty solid
---
I think the 0.47 target point is quite uncertain, mainly depends on whether the policies will be supportive
---
Paxos founders do carry some weight in the team; this is not a small workshop
---
Honestly, I still have the most confidence in the custody business; that’s real gold and silver
---
The entry of Middle Eastern funds is indeed a signal, right?
---
Before the license is approved, I think it will be hard for the price to move significantly
---
A stablecoin plus custody business, this combo really has some potential

Damn, Trump's endorsement is really intense, the short-term policy dividends are indeed endless.
Really, can I see it at 0.47? I was still wondering if it was just hype.
You're right about the license; it's no longer just a concept. Institutions need this thing to get in.
But a 550 million financing seems a bit questionable. Are Middle Eastern funds also cutting the leeks?
Wait, USD1 stablecoin is 100% backed by USD? Is there an audit report? I’d like to take a look.
By the way, Little Trump being a Web3 ambassador is quite fresh. Is this considered an official entry?
How was the 4.7 figure calculated? Is it based on intuition or supported by data?
Anyway, I bought some. Just waiting to see how the license progress goes. I feel like I won’t lose on this wave.

ngl the timing on this license push feels like catching the optimal window before institutions actually show up. 0.34 to 0.47 is basically watching gwei normalize before the next spike... trusting the chart here fr

Licensing is indeed a different matter, a turning point from virtual to real.
Once trust banks are on board, institutional funds will dare to come in, and the USD1 completeness is sufficient.
The policy dividends from Trump are still being enjoyed, and the team background is solid. A private placement of 550 million is not a small amount.
I see the pace from 0.34 to 0.47, and the short-term pulling mechanisms are all in place.
Just don't be too aggressive; wait until the licenses are truly issued before proceeding.

Licensing can indeed change the game rules, but we'll have to wait and see how it actually plays out.

Oh, the policy dividends really don't last long as a window of opportunity, so you need to seize it quickly.
