The Wall Street Journal recently disclosed a major crypto asset deal: the sovereign fund MGX, controlled by a member of the UAE royal family Tahnoun bin Zayed, has acquired nearly half of the equity in Donald Trump’s digital asset project World Liberty Financial (WLFI). This move marks the latest signal of Middle Eastern capital officially entering the Western crypto ecosystem.

Strategic Moves by UAE Sovereign Fund MGX

Tahnoun bin Zayed is an important member of the UAE royal family and also serves as the head of MGX sovereign fund. Since its establishment, MGX has been committed to long-term strategic investments in emerging fields such as technology and finance. The decision to control nearly half of WLFI’s equity reflects MGX’s long-term optimism about the cryptocurrency sector, especially with a particular focus on digital assets endorsed by Trump.

Real-Time Data Overview of WLFI Token

According to the latest market data (as of February 9, 2026), the performance of the World Liberty Financial token is as follows:

Current Price: $0.11

Daily Trading Volume: $8.00M
Market Cap: $2.72B
Circulating Supply: 24,669,070,265 tokens

The Deeper Significance of Middle Eastern Capital Entering Western Digital Assets

As one of the global centers of capital, investments by the UAE royal family and sovereign funds in emerging asset classes often signal important market trends. By controlling nearly half of WLFI’s equity through MGX, it not only demonstrates Middle Eastern confidence in Trump’s crypto ecosystem but also highlights the rising status of digital assets in global large-cap allocations. This transaction may bring long-term development support and geopolitical advantages from stable Middle Eastern capital to WLFI.
