Trump intends to switch from slow and outdated big banks to embrace crypto. According to Trump’s son, Eric Trump, the World Liberty Financial (WLFI) project involves digital real estate, immediately potentially setting the protocol in the real-world asset tokenization sector.
According to Coingecko, the growing RWA tokenization industry is currently at a $6 billion market cap, with most tokens, including Pendle price, performing fairly well in the past week.
Will New BTC Staking Feature Help Against WLFI?

Meme coins associated with Trump have performed insanely well in the past, making investors question whether WLFI can repeat the same performance.
Pendle is the third largest RWA coin by market cap, according to CoinGecko. The protocol is known for its enhanced yield strategies for ERC-20 tokens and recently introduced Bitcoin (BTC) pools to provide the same service for BTC holders.

Nevertheless, PENDLE must first beat an immediate reistance levels wound $3.5 before it can rise higher. Another potential support level around $4.00 has turned into resistance and could be the next significant barrier Pendle needs to overcome.
