Speculations are that the Trump family is looking to distance itself from WLF
World Liberty Financial has come under heavy scrutiny, with many throwing the word “scam” on Crypto Twitter, over its recent WLFI Markets lending position and the sudden disappearance of the Trump family from the WLF team member page. Speculations are that the Trump family is attempting to distance itself from World Liberty Financial. But the team is claiming otherwise. The crypto project was launched in the fall of 2024, with the U.S. President and his sons, Eric, Trump Jr., and Barron, displayed on the team member page as co-founders, including Chase Herro, Zak Folkman, and the Witkoff family. World Liberty was touted as a financial platform that would bridge the gap between traditional banking and decentralized finance. In March 2025, the team completed a third phase of WLFI token sale, raising a total of $550 million, according to reports. WLFI, which only became tradable in September 2025, doubles as the governance token of the platform. After the presale, however, it was observed that the positions of the Trump family were reduced to “Web3 Ambassador.” And now? The team member page on the website has been removed, with some speculating that the Trumps are trying to distance themselves from the project. Just at the bottom of the page, there is now a disclosure that Trump and his sons do not hold any formal operational role in World Liberty Financial, despite their known affiliation with the crypto project. “None of Donald J. Trump, his family members or any director, officer or employee of Trump Organization or of DT Marks LLC is an officer, director or employee of, WLF Holdco LLC or World Liberty Financial LLC,” it reads . To add weight to these claims, speculators also pointed to Eric Trump deleting several WLFI-related posts on Twitter earlier this year, as Cryptopolitan reported . Eric Trump, co-founder of WLFI, deleted several WLFI-related posts on X. Following the move, WLFI briefly fell more than 8%, while the USD stablecoin USD1 temporarily depegged to 0.9802 USDT. https://t.co/5W4apuqsb3 pic.twitter.com/7dUMJPApEh — Wu Blockchain (@WuBlockchain) February 23, 2026 “This is clearly FUD,” says Zach Witkoff World Liberty Financial CEO Zach Witkoff dismissed these observations as FUD, saying both Donald and Eric Trump are still engaged with the project, and even tweet about the project weekly. Regarding the missing team page, Zach mentioned that the website was redesigned months ago. “This is clearly FUD,” he said. Hey @Eljaboom we redesigned the website months ago. Don and Eric tweet about the project weekly and even have @worldlibertyfi in their twitter bios. This is clearly FUD. — Zach Witkoff (@ZachWitkoff) April 11, 2026 Eric Trump’s Twitter bio says he’s an advocate for World Liberty Financial, while Donald Trump Jr.’s still says he’s a co-founder. Although the Trump family is not directly involved in the management of World Liberty, according to the webpage, they own a significant 38% stake in the WLF Holdco LLC, through DT Marks DEFI LLC. WLF Holdco LLC holds all of the rights to net protocol revenues from the WLF protocol. Previously, in March 2025, the stake was as high as 60%, according to Reuters. DT Marks DEFI LLC also holds 22.5 billion WLFI tokens, and is entitled to receive 75% of the net revenue from the WLFI token sale, including interest earned on the reserve assets backing USD1, a dollar-pegged stablecoin issued by World Liberty Financial. WLF loan deal sparks fresh controversy Another point of controversy on World Liberty Financial stems from its recent stablecoin loan deal on DeFi protocol Dolomite, whose co-founder advises WLF, which saw WLFI token decline by 10%, Cryptopolitan reported on Friday. The WLF team deposited 5 billion WLFI tokens, worth $440 million, to borrow $75 million worth of USD1, although Arkham reports it was $150 million USDC. Part of the concern was that the World Liberty Financial team used its own tokens as collateral to drain Dolomite’s lending pool, so much so that many depositors were not able to withdraw. To defuse concerns, the team said being an anchor borrower allows them to generate yield that makes WLFI Markets compelling for everyone else. “No, we are nowhere near liquidation — and frankly, even if markets moved dramatically against us, we’d simply supply more collateral,” they wrote. The last line was particularly concerning for many people, who argued that deploying more volatile governance tokens as collateral could have more detrimental consequences, with some recalling past incidents with Terraforms Lab and FTX. Even more retarded, instead of repaying stablecoin debt, they would deposit more WLFI as collateral. Sure, liquidation price decreases but it makes the problem worse, not better in the longer term https://t.co/h3YdBMY2ha — Ignas | DeFi (@DefiIgnas) April 10, 2026 WLFI currently trades at $0.07989, a 1.4% decline in the last 24 hours. The token is down over 44% YTD. If you're reading this, you’re already ahead. Stay there with our newsletter .

Scott Bessent urged Congress to pass the Clarity Act quickly
Trump’s Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent used a Wall Street Journal op-ed to press Congress to pass the Clarity Act, saying the United States cannot keep dragging its feet while the crypto market keeps getting bigger. Scott warned Congress that this position is not guaranteed to last. “Over the past year, the global market capitalization of digital assets fluctuated between $2 trillion and $3 trillion. Nearly 1 in 6 Americans owns some form of digital asset. Major financial institutions have launched or sought approval for crypto-related products,” said Scott. Bessent says Congress must end the confusion around crypto rules Scott said the government has made one major step already; the Genius Act which Trump signed last year. Still, he said the general crypto market remains stuck in a legal gray area. Outside stablecoins, Scott said there is still no clear framework for crypto markets in the United States. Then he took a jab at the Biden administration’s SEC, which was led by crypto public enemy #1, Gary Gensler, who Scott said made overlapping and sometimes conflicting claims. That left developers, exchanges, and investors without solid guidance on what rules applied, who had authority, and how companies were supposed to operate. Scott said all of that uncertainty was what led to a huge share of crypto development going overseas, like Abu Dhabi and Singapore, which offered clearer rules, helping companies know how to register, what standards they had to meet, and what path they needed to follow to stay compliant. In the United States, he said, the legal risk often outweighed the benefit of staying. In a post on X, Scott had also said, “Senate time is precious, and now is the time to act.” Bessent lays out how the Clarity Act would pull crypto business back home Scott said the answer is durable law, not more confusion, and the Clarity Act would split regulatory authority more clearly, create registration paths for trading platforms and intermediaries, and spell out when a crypto counts as a security and when it does not. He also said the GENIUS Act cannot do the full job on its own, what with stablecoins now getting a legal footing. Scott said the next fight is over the infrastructure they support, which is tokenized assets, decentralized exchanges, and new ways for businesses to raise money. He said the question is whether that activity, along with the jobs and tax revenue tied to it, gets built inside the United States or somewhere else. To close out his Op-ed, Scott said the bill would also protect software developers so the technology behind digital finance stays open, secure, and built in the United States. He added that: “Congress will ensure that the next generation of financial innovation is built on American rails, backed by American institutions, and denominated in American dollars.” In the past, Scott had told crypto entrepreneurs on X to “start your companies here. Launch your protocols here. And hire your workers here.” The smartest crypto minds already read our newsletter. Want in? Join them .
