DeFAI, Real-World Assets (RWA), and World Liberty Financial have emerged as three significant crypto narratives making waves this week. Despite recent corrections, the DeFAI sector, known for integrating AI agents into decentralized finance, is now displaying signs of a recovery.
Real-World Assets (RWA) have now surpassed a total value of $17 billion, propelled by private credit growth and increasing institutional interest. Meanwhile, World Liberty Financial (WLFI), a DeFi venture associated with Donald Trump, is garnering attention for its substantial altcoin acquisitions.
DeFAI projects revolutionize DeFi activities by leveraging AI-driven agents for tasks like trading, staking, yield farming, market analysis, and portfolio optimization. This innovative approach positions DeFAI as a key narrative for the crypto landscape in 2025.
Recent volatility in DeFAI coins has given way to positive momentum, with major tokens like AIXBT, ARC, and SwarmNode.ai witnessing significant price surges. The potential resurgence of AI narratives in crypto, coupled with new DeFAI platform launches, could reignite interest and attract fresh capital to the sector.
Real-World Assets (RWA) pertain to the tokenization of physical and traditional financial assets on the blockchain, including real estate, commodities, private credit, and bonds. This emerging sector, valued at $17 billion, has seen rapid growth, with private credit leading the charge and showing a promising increase in value.
Supported by a more favorable regulatory environment in the United States, the adoption of RWAs could accelerate further, benefiting platforms and tokens like Mantra (OM), Ondo Finance (ONDO), and XDC Network (XDC) as institutional interest grows and on-chain asset tokenization gains wider acceptance.
World Liberty Financial (WLFI), a DeFi project endorsed by former President Donald Trump, has been actively increasing its holdings in altcoins, now totaling nearly $38 million. With an array of over 20 tokens in its portfolio, Ethereum (ETH) stands as the dominant asset within World Liberty Financial’s holdings.
As speculation surrounding potential pro-crypto policies under a future Trump administration grows, the holdings of World Liberty Financial could draw heightened investor attention.
