WLFI: We've Lost Financial Independence -
The
True
Genesis of
Trump's
World Liberty Financial & USD1
is the untold story of how a crypto token became the foundation for a private central bank of crypto.
In the summer of 2025, World Liberty Financial (WLFI) launched with the backing of the Trump family, Wall Street insiders, and a billion-dollar acquisition that jolted global markets. Branded as a populist alternative to a failing financial system, WLFI quickly revealed itself as something else entirely: a centralized empire in the making.
At the center of this empire sits USD1, a so-called "stablecoin" that powers the WLFI machine. Promising freedom, it delivered surveillance, blacklists, and a pipeline of value funneled upward. Early investors and political allies profited. Retail traders were left chasing a mirage.
This book traces the story from its first whispers to its global ambitions:
How tokenomics, unlock schedules, and insider deals ballooned WLFI into a multi-billion-dollar valuation overnight.
Why USD1 functions less like a currency and more like a control mechanism.
The political maneuvers - from GENIUS to CLARITY to anti-CBDC legislation - that cleared the legal path for WLFI.
And how, piece by piece, one family built the architecture for a financial fortress in plain sight.
Combining investigative detail with a fast-paced narrative style,
WLFI: We've Lost Financial Independence
reads like a financial thriller but is grounded in hard numbers and public filings. For anyone who still believes the dollar is untouchable-or that crypto is the "wild west"-this book is your wake-up call.
Langdon Cage, writing under a pen name, brings a sociological lens to the spectacle of modern finance. With a background in media and storytelling, he delivers a sharp, documentarian's eye on the empire of grift forming at the intersection of politics, money, and spectacle.
