DEGE crypto has surged nearly 350% overnight as the two-week-old meme coin garnered significant attention over the July 4 weekend due to its branding as ‘American People’s Meme Coin’.
It is gaining momentum due to loose connections with Donald Trump’s World Liberty Financial DeFi project, with many speculating that a mention of DEGE by the President could be forthcoming soon.
DEGE Crypto Self-Branded The ‘People’s Coin’ – Official Ties To World Liberty Financial?
DEGE crypto has risen nearly 5x in the past 24 hours due to a heavy marketing push as the American people’s meme coin, even claiming to have ‘Officially Endorsing @WorldLibertyFi’ in its bio. However, it is still unknown what, if any, links there are between this new meme coin and the President’s DeFi platform.
To date, the official World Liberty Financial social media accounts have yet to acknowledge DEGE crypto. However, this hasn’t prevented the meme coin project from basing its entire image around WLFI.
The mascot for Dege Coin, a Doge character, can be seen wearing World Liberty Financial-branded hats and astronaut suits. The team is relentless in tagging both Donald Trump and the WLFI X account in nearly every post they make.
Regardless of whether any acknowledgment from World Liberty Financial occurs, this hasn’t deterred the project from making serious gains. As of today, it is up nearly 10 times since July 5. It has amassed more than 10,000 token holders in less than two weeks since launching.
The pro-American image and forced association with the President and his DeFi project has generated significant attention for the DEGE coin, driving its price up substantially since its launch on June 24.
As DEGE crypto is gaining popularity on pure speculation, many predict further increases if the World Liberty Financial team or the President himself acknowledges the meme coin. If WLFI adopts DEGE as its official meme coin mascot, a run towards $100 million and beyond would appear highly achievable.

Over the weekend, select crypto exchanges listed the WLFI token for pre-market trading, allowing users to trade the token. MEXC is the most notable, with data showing WLFI changing hands for approximately $0.21.
While pre-market trading is a volatile period for any token, it indicates where the price will likely settle upon full release. Tristan Tate, brother of Andrew Tate, believes WLFI could increase by at least five times from its launch price of $0.20.
At a value of $0.20, WLFI would equate to a $20 billion fully diluted valuation, making it the 12th largest cryptocurrency by market cap. However, only 20% of the supply is believed to be unlocked at launch, implying a market cap of $4 billion, placing WLFI at 38th by market cap.
Analysts speculate that World Liberty Financial could become one of the top 10 crypto projects by market cap this year, with its portfolio valued at around $180 million, primarily held across the Ethereum network.
An additional advantage for WLFI is its USD1 stablecoin, positioned on the BNB Smart Chain (BSC), which has minted over $2.2 billion in tokens in just three months, making it the fifth-largest USD1-backed stablecoin on the market. It is also executing over $300 million in daily volume, showing robust adoption across BSC. As World Liberty Financial constructs a comprehensive end-to-end DeFi platform, underpinned by its USD1 stablecoin and WLFI token, President Trump stands to be involved in one of the most significant web3 projects in 2025 and beyond.
