World Liberty Financial (WLFI), a decentralized finance (DeFi) initiative linked to the Trump family, has refuted recent media assertions, describing them as politically charged and harmful to the cryptocurrency sector.
In a statement, WLFI urged the public to disregard what it labeled “sensational headlines” circulated in various news outlets.
“We encourage you to ignore clickbait and look beyond sensational headlines,” WLFI emphasized, reiterating its commitment to democratizing finance.
The project defended its reputation by highlighting partnerships with leading blockchain organizations, asserting its pivotal role in shaping the future of the industry.
Speculations Surrounding Trump’s Possible Stake in Binance
Recent media speculation suggested that the Trump family may be exploring an investment in Binance.US through WLFI.
These rumored talks were reported alongside Binance founder Changpeng Zhao’s alleged pursuit of a presidential pardon following a conviction for anti-money-laundering law violations.
While WLFI did not directly comment on the allegations, it framed the coverage as part of a larger narrative regarding a “war on crypto.”
Zhao himself has dismissed any claims of discussions regarding a deal for clemency, labeling the reports as inaccurate and politically motivated.
