World Liberty Financial, a decentralized finance initiative linked to the Trump family, has refuted recent media claims, asserting that they are politically charged and harmful to the cryptocurrency sector.
In a statement shared on X, WLFI countered reports from various outlets, including The Wall Street Journal and Bloomberg, advising the public to dismiss what it labeled as “sensational headlines.”
“We urge you to overlook clickbait and consider the substance behind the flashy headlines,” WLFI declared, reaffirming its commitment to making finance accessible to all.
The project further emphasized its collaborations with prominent blockchain organizations, positioning itself as a vital contender in the industry’s future.
Trump’s Binance Stake and CZ’s Pardon
The contested media narratives implied that the Trump family was contemplating purchasing a stake in Binance.US, possibly through WLFI.
These discussions reportedly coincided with inquiries by Binance founder Changpeng Zhao seeking a presidential pardon after his guilty plea in 2023 for breaching anti-money-laundering regulations.
Although WLFI did not specifically address the rumors, its response portrays the media coverage as part of a larger “war on crypto” narrative.
Zhao also denied any discussions regarding a pardon arrangement, deeming the reports both inaccurate and politically motivated.
