World Liberty Financial — which bills itself as a crypto bank where customers will be encouraged to borrow, lend and invest in digital coins — began its token sale on Tuesday morning.
On Monday, project co-founder Zachary Folkman bragged in a pre-launch stream on X that "well over 100,000 people" were whitelisted to invest.
"However, these numbers are just, in my opinion, unheard of, and I think we're setting all sorts of new records in crypto."
The platform says, so far, it has sold more than 788 million tokens at $0.015 per token.
That is less than 4% of the 20 billion tokens made available for public sale and amounts to around $11.8 million, still well off the $300 million fundraising target.
