World Liberty Financial (WLFI), a decentralized finance platform positioning itself as a response to growing distrust in traditional systems, may soon find validation in the changing landscape of international trade.
Major global powers are beginning to experiment with Bitcoin as more than just an investment—some are now using it as a currency for cross-border energy deals.
According to VanEck, China and Russia have already begun settling parts of their energy trade using Bitcoin and other digital assets. This shift signals a broader effort to reduce dependency on the U.S. dollar and insulate transactions from Western financial infrastructure.
Other nations are taking similar steps—Bolivia, for instance, recently announced plans to import electricity using crypto, while French utility company EDF is reportedly testing Bitcoin mining as a way to utilize excess energy exports.
These moves align with World Liberty’s founding message: to build an alternative financial framework for those sidelined by centralized systems. Backed by former U.S. President Donald Trump, the project promotes financial independence through decentralized tools, including cryptocurrency adoption.
Despite market volatility, Bitcoin has consistently outpaced traditional indexes like the Nasdaq, with VanEck’s Matthew Sigel pointing out that macroeconomic shifts may further support its rise. If U.S. growth slows and inflation remains in check, the Federal Reserve could pivot toward lower interest rates—conditions that have historically fueled Bitcoin rallies.
Sigel also emphasized watching the U.S. Dollar Index (DXY). A weakening dollar, coupled with geopolitical shifts, could accelerate Bitcoin’s transition from speculative asset to global settlement currency.
For projects like World Liberty, the message is clear: the tide may finally be turning toward the decentralized future they’ve been building for.
Bitcoin could be on the verge of another major breakout as institutional inflows return to levels that historically trigger rapid price acceleration.
According to on-chain analyst Darkfost, Bitcoin is entering a new stage of on-chain behavior marked by two key developments: a rare third peak in the SOPR Trend Signal during a single bull cycle and a sustained outflow dominance in exchange flows.
According to the latest Santiment report, the crypto market is entering a critical phase, with a mix of bullish on-chain signals and cautionary sentiment indicators.
In a stunning on-chain event that has reignited curiosity across the crypto community, more than $8.6 billion worth of Bitcoin linked to the network’s earliest years—commonly referred to as the “Satoshi era”—was quietly moved on Friday in what analysts believe is the largest single transfer of early-mined BTC ever recorded.
