Introduction
World Liberty Financial, Inc. is inspired by Donald J. Trump’s vision to pioneer a new era of Decentralized Finance (DeFi), with a mission to democratize financial opportunities and strengthen the US Dollar’s global status through US dollar-based stablecoins and DeFi applications.
Deng Tong, Jinse Finance Recently, the Trump family has once again become a "traffic star," from suing The New York Times, claiming $230 million from the Department of Justice, to the $300 million White House banquet hall renovation project, Trump's eldest son's $500,000 private club membership fee, and Truth Social's plan to launch a social media prediction market platform with Crypto.com... Regardless of external criticism, the Trump family continues to do things their own way, and this reality show starring America's First Family is still playing out brilliantly. 1. Trump Sues The New York Times On October 16, Trump once again filed a defamation lawsuit against The New York Times and several reporters, accusing the media outlet of attempting to undermine his 2024 campaign and tarnish his business reputation. Previously, a federal judge dismissed his initial lawsuit for being lengthy and rambling. The revised complaint, submitted Thursday night, was shortened to 40 pages, less than half the length of the original. Michael S. Schmidt, a New York Times reporter listed as a defendant in the original complaint, has been removed from the defendant list. Also deleted were numerous lengthy praises of Trump, such as calling his 2024 election victory "the greatest personal and political achievement in American history." Consistent with the initial complaint, the revised version still seeks $15 billion in damages. 2. Trump Claims $230 Million from the Department of Justice On October 21, The New York Times reported that Trump has asked the U.S. Department of Justice to pay up to $230 million in compensation for criminal investigations he faced before and after his first White House term. Trump stated that any decision by the Department of Justice to pay compensation "must be approved by me, and it's really strange for me to decide how much to pay myself." "In other words, have you ever had to decide how much to compensate yourself?" "I have indeed suffered great damage, and any compensation I receive will be donated to charity." A spokesperson for Trump's legal team said: "President Trump continues to fight all Democrat-led political persecution, including the 'Russiagate' hoax, and the unconstitutional and anti-American weaponization of our judicial system by Biden and his handlers." In addition to confronting the Department of Justice, several companies have also reached settlements with Trump, as listed below: Meta: $25 million On January 29, 2025, The Wall Street Journal noted: Meta will pay $25 million to settle the 2021 Trump lawsuit. After the U.S. Capitol was attacked, the social media platform suspended Trump's account. Of this, $22 million will go toward the construction of the Trump Presidential Library, with the remainder used to pay legal fees and compensate other plaintiffs. Massachusetts Democratic Senator Elizabeth Warren pointed out: "This looks like a bribe and sends a signal to all companies: corruption is the name of the game." Last November, Trump mentioned the lawsuit. One insider said the president hinted that the lawsuit had to be resolved before Zuckerberg was "brought into the fold." X: $10 million On February 12, 2025, CBS revealed: Social media platform X will pay President Trump $10 million to settle a lawsuit arising from his account being suspended for nearly two years after the Capitol riot. In July 2021, Trump sued Twitter, claiming the ban violated his First Amendment right to free speech. In November 2022, about a month after Musk acquired Twitter, Trump's account was reinstated. Paramount: $16 million On July 2, 2025, Paramount Pictures announced it would pay $16 million to settle with Trump, with the money going toward the construction of Trump's future presidential library. Trump had accused the show of deceptively editing an interview with Harris on the "60 Minutes" news program, attempting to "tip the scales toward the Democrats." Democratic Senator Ron Wyden said: "Paramount Pictures bribed Trump to get merger approval... State prosecutors should have these executives who sold out our democracy in court today." YouTube: $24.5 million On September 29, 2025, YouTube agreed to pay $24.5 million to settle with Trump. In 2021, shortly after the Capitol riot, Trump's account was banned. Although YouTube did not have to admit fault, at Trump's request, it must donate $22 million to the nonprofit "National Mall Trust Fund" to fund the construction of the White House banquet hall. Another $2.5 million will go to Trump's supporter groups, including the American Conservative Union and writer Naomi Wolf. The above four companies have reached settlements totaling $75.5 million with Trump. If the lawsuit with the Department of Justice is settled, the total settlement amount may exceed $300 million. 3. $300 Million White House Banquet Hall Renovation Project On October 24, according to The Verge, Trump is demolishing the East Wing of the White House to make room for a lavish banquet hall. Trump said the $300 million cost would not be borne by taxpayers but by private donors, including himself. The donor list includes some of America's largest tech companies, such as Amazon, Apple, Google, Meta, and Microsoft. Among them, Google's YouTube has agreed to pay more than $20 million to the project. Companies in the cryptocurrency sector have also been generous: Ripple, Tether America, Coinbase, and the Winklevoss brothers (Cameron and Tyler are listed separately) have all contributed donations. In addition, defense and telecom giants such as Lockheed Martin, Comcast, T-Mobile, and Palantir are also on the list. 4. Truth Social to Launch Social Media Prediction Market Platform with Crypto.com On October 28, Bloomberg reported: Trump Media & Technology Group plans to offer prediction contracts on its Truth Social platform, allowing users to bet on events ranging from political elections to changes in inflation rates. The program, called "Truth Prediction," will use Crypto.com Derivatives North America for prediction betting and will allow betting on commodity prices and events for all major sports leagues. Crypto.com CEO Kris Marszalek has established a good relationship with Trump and his businesses. He was one of the first crypto industry executives to visit Mar-a-Lago after Trump's victory last year, and Crypto.com also donated $1 million to Trump's inauguration committee. Its parent company later donated $10 million to Trump's super PAC, MAGA Inc. Trump Media CEO and former Republican Representative Devin Nunes said in a statement: "For a long time, global elites have tightly controlled these markets—through Truth Prediction, we are democratizing information and empowering ordinary Americans to use the wisdom of the crowd to turn free speech into actionable foresight." If fully launched, Truth Social will become the first social media platform to natively integrate a prediction market. This move expands Trump Media's business from social media to financial products, allowing users to turn their opinions into bets and view real-time market-based odds changes. Crypto.com CEO Kris Marszalek said the collaboration aims to combine social interaction with financial prediction, bringing prediction market trading to a broader audience. 5. Trump's Eldest Son's $500,000 Private Club Membership Trump's eldest son's club, called "Executive Branch," held a launch party on Saturday night attended by at least six members of President Trump's administration, as well as wealthy CEOs, tech founders, and policy experts. Executive Branch was co-founded this April by Donald Trump Jr., Omid Malik and Christopher Buskirk of 1789 Capital. Other founding members include White House crypto czar David Sacks, crypto investors Tyler and Cameron Winklevoss, and tech investor Chamath Palihapitiya. The club only accepts membership applications by founder recommendation and strict screening. In addition to the $500,000 membership fee, the club will also charge an annual fee, the specific amount of which has not yet been announced. The role of "Executive Branch" in Washington's social and political circles may be similar to that of the Trump International Hotel in Washington, D.C., during Trump's first administration. The Trump Hotel was once a popular gathering place for government officials, Republican congressional leaders, foreign dignitaries, lobbyists, and business leaders. Prospective members must undergo strict review and approval by the founders, and even though some are willing to pay $1 million to join, membership still requires recommendation and strict screening. Someone close to the club said: "We don't want media members or a large number of lobbyists to join. We want people to be able to have private conversations comfortably." 6. Other Remarks by Trump 1. Cryptocurrency May Solve the $35 Trillion U.S. Debt Problem On October 23, Trump said in a private meeting that cryptocurrency has a "great future" and hinted that the U.S. might use cryptocurrency to solve its $35 trillion debt problem. According to leaked video, Trump said: "I would write on a little piece of paper: $35 trillion in cryptocurrency, we have no debt, that's what I like to do." Notably, this is not the first time Trump has hinted at using digital assets to eliminate the ever-growing U.S. debt; he has repeatedly stated publicly that bitcoin could be used to "save America." 2. Trump Appoints Mike Selig to Lead the CFTC On October 26, Mike Selig posted on X: "I am honored to be nominated by President Trump to serve as the 16th Chairman of the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC). Under the President's leadership, America's financial markets will usher in a great golden age and abundant new opportunities. I pledge to do my utmost to promote the healthy functioning of commodity markets, foster freedom, competition, and innovation, and assist the President in making the U.S. the global center for cryptocurrency." White House head of cryptocurrency and artificial intelligence David Sacks said the appointment was an excellent choice. "On behalf of the President's Digital Assets Working Group, Patrick Witt and I look forward to continuing to work with Mike to fulfill President Trump's promise—to make the U.S. the global center for cryptocurrency." 3. U.S. Stocks Perform Well On October 29, Trump said that Nvidia (NVDA.O) stock hit a new high and the stock market reached a record high yesterday. He noted that all markets are performing well, with almost every market continuing to rise. 4. The Federal Reserve Should Cut Rates Quickly Trump continued to criticize the Federal Reserve, once again targeting Fed Chairman Powell for being slow to cut rates. In a speech in South Korea, Trump referred to "Jerome 'Too Late' Powell" and said he would not let the Fed raise rates out of fear of inflation three years from now. He expects the U.S. economy to achieve 4% growth in the first quarter of 2026, far higher than economists' forecasts. This statement highlights the tense relationship between Trump and the Federal Reserve. Conclusion Since Trump's return to the presidency, his family's ties with cryptocurrency have deepened, continuously binding family business with the public eye. According to an investigation by the Financial Times, Trump and his family earned over $1 billion in pre-tax profits from cryptocurrency businesses in the past year. The investigation shows that the Trump family's crypto empire includes multiple projects such as digital trading cards, meme coins, stablecoins, tokens, and decentralized finance platforms. Among them, TRUMP and MELANIA meme coins generated about $427 million in sales and trading fee income. The World Liberty Financial platform earned $550 million in revenue from selling WLFI governance tokens, and USD1 stablecoin sales reached $2.71 billion. It is evident that cryptocurrency has become an important tool for the Trump family to accumulate wealth. Since Trump's return to the White House, he has appointed pro-crypto individuals to key positions to formulate a series of regulations favorable to family wealth accumulation. Trump uses political power to harvest business wealth and then uses business wealth to support political activities. "Trump" is no longer just a name, but a trump card for the family's power to cross from business into politics. During Trump's term, the "First Family" reality show series may continue to play out.
Source: RAVE Every cultural movement begins with a rhythm — a pulse that transcends individuals and unites them in collective motion. In the 90s, this rhythm flowed between warehouses and dance floors; today, it navigates through the realm of the web and code. The only constant is the human instinct to connect. RaveDAO exists for this very connection. What started as a series of live events from Singapore and Dubai to Seoul, Miami, Hong Kong, Brussels, Bangkok, and Amsterdam has gradually evolved into a global network uniting entertainment with infrastructure. Through a system that merges cultural experiences with on-chain participation, RaveDAO brings together artists, event organizers, and fans. Today, with the launch of $RAVE, this network has its own economic ecosystem. $RAVE serves as the coordinating layer connecting every branch, event, and creator in the entire ecosystem. It drives governance, incentives, and real-world activities such as payments, transforming culture itself into a runnable protocol. Token Distribution The 1 billion total supply of $RAVE tokens forms the foundation of RaveDAO's cultural economy. The distribution structure is designed to support long-term sustainability, reward genuine participation, and ensure that growth benefits the entire community. · Community (30%): Empowers local chapters, ecosystem builders, and loyal fans through governance grants, incentives, and rewards to drive global community growth. · Ecosystem (31%): Allocated for brand and ecosystem partnerships, partner events, technical infrastructure development, driving global user adoption, and on-chain experience mainstreaming. · Initial Airdrop (3%): Distributed to users and contributors who have participated in RaveDAO events. · Foundation / Impact Fund (6%): Serves as a long-term reserve for philanthropic projects (such as Rave for Light) and other impact initiatives governed by the DAO. · Team and Collaborators (20%): Intended to incentivize the core founding team, key contributors, strategic advisors, and long-term partners to drive ecosystem growth. · Early Supporters (5%): Rewarding early supporters and partners who believed in and supported the movement. · Liquidity (5%): Designated to provide ample liquidity on major exchanges to ensure seamless participant entry and trading experience. Token Release Schedule During the TGE, approximately 23.03% of the total token supply will enter circulation, primarily for ecosystem expansion, initial airdrops, and liquidity arrangements. The remaining tokens will follow a "12-month lockup + 36-month linear release" schedule, gradually unlocking over time. This progressive release structure helps maintain market stability and aligns incentives with long-term participation and growth. The specific release rules for each category are as follows: · Community (30%): 12-month lockup, 36-month linear release · Ecosystem (31%): 15.03% unlocked at TGE, remaining 15.97% locked for 12 months and then linear release · Initial Airdrop (3%): 100% unlocked at TGE · Foundation / Impact Fund (6%): 12-month lockup, 36-month linear release · Team and Collaborators (20%): 12-month lockup, 36-month linear release · Early Supporters (5%): 12-month lockup, 36-month linear release · Liquidity (5%): 100% at TGE Token Utility $RAVE is designed for participation, allowing every participant to co-build, co-create, and co-own within their beloved culture. Its functionality is structured around three core layers: B2B, B2C, and DAO governance. B2B: IP, Licensing, and Staking · Stake-to-License Mechanism: Event organizers obtain authorization to use RaveDAO IP by staking $RAVE to operate events that meet global standards. · Local Chapter Activation: Launch new "Road to RaveDAO" cities and chapters through a funding proposal approved by the DAO. · Partner Accreditation: Production, beverage, and experiential service partners are required to stake $RAVE to obtain certification. · Artist and Label Collaboration: Artists can stake $RAVE to co-release digital collectibles, licensing rights, or Web3 collaboration with the RaveDAO brand. B2C: Experience and Interaction · Exclusive Benefits: Stake $RAVE to unlock VIP tiers, artist meet-and-greet opportunities, and priority event ticketing. · Digital Collectibles: Participate in limited-edition artist collaborations or NFT releases. · Payment Functionality: Use $RAVE to pay for event tickets, VIP packages, and on-site purchases at flagship events and local chapters. · Community Incentives: Earn $RAVE rewards through content creation, event referrals, offline interactions, and other activities. DAO Governance: Community Decision-Making · Voting Rights: Decide on event locations, artist lineups, venue selections, and charitable fund allocations. Chapter Proposal: Submit and vote on launching new "Road to RaveDAO" chapters and initiatives. · Ecosystem Funding: Provide financial support to artists, community builders, and collaborative projects. Value Accrual and Deflationary Mechanism RaveDAO's ecosystem continuously injects intrinsic value into $RAVE through real-world utility and ongoing reinvestment. · IP Expansion Flywheel: Every music festival, every chapter event, every collaboration, is reinforcing token demand and cultural influence. · Event Revenue Loop: Ticketing, NFTs, sponsorships, and other offline and on-chain revenue streams continuously drive token circulation. · Buyback and Burn Mechanism: Some event profits are used for buyback and permanent burning of $RAVE. · Stake-to-Earn Mechanism: Organizers, artists, and partners can earn rewards, discounts, or other benefits through staking. Ultimately, what $RAVE is building is a long-term economic system driven by real-world events and cultural diffusion, rather than short-term speculative gains. The Future of $RAVE $RAVE is more than just a token; it represents a sense of belonging and the power of co-creation. It provides the community with tools to collaboratively create, share value, and reinvest influence back into society. From flagship music festivals with thousands of attendees to city chapter events supporting local emerging talent, each use of $RAVE strengthens the entire network. Expanding from Asia to Europe and the Americas, $RAVE will serve as a medium to connect people, empower culture, and foster the mutual growth of creativity and value. By 2027, RaveDAO plans to establish 50+ decentralized local chapters, reaching over 300,000 participants annually, and donate a portion of each event's proceeds to charity projects including the Tilganga Eye Center in Nepal and Nalanda West in Seattle. $RAVE is not just a token; it is a testament to everything that can be created when music, technology, and humanity resonate together—a rhythm that continues after the music fades. Let's all go to $RAVE together and experience this never-ending beat. About RaveDAO RaveDAO is a global community that fuses music, technology, and purpose. Since the sold-out inaugural event in Dubai in 2024, it has rapidly expanded to Europe, the Middle East, North America, and Asia, creating world-class experiences worldwide, attracting over 100,000 participants, with single-event attendance consistently exceeding 3,000. RaveDAO has collaborated with top artists such as Vintage Culture, Don Diablo, Chris Avantgarde, Lilly Palmer, MORTEN, Bassjackers, and GENESI, and has received support from partners such as WLFI, Binance, OKX, Bybit, Bitget, and Polygon; they are reshaping the offline entertainment experience with Web3 thinking and maintaining deep partnerships with 1001Tracklists, AMF, Warner Music, and others. Going beyond the dance floor, RaveDAO is also transforming energy into long-term impact. In just 2025 alone, its event proceeds have helped over 400 cataract patients in Nepal regain their sight and have funded over 150 meditation classes and mind-healing projects across the United States.
Story Highlights The crypto market is once again captivated by politically themed tokens as World Liberty Financial (WLFI) and OFFICIAL TRUMP (TRUMP) record explosive price gains. WLFI price jumped over 35% in the past 24 hours, while TRUMP price spiked nearly 30%, with trading volumes crossing $1 billion combined. The rally comes amid renewed political attention, rising social media mentions, and speculative flows ahead of a busy U.S. macro week. While these memecoins are enjoying unprecedented momentum, analysts warn that such rallies can fade as quickly as they form—making risk management crucial for traders chasing this narrative. World Liberty Financial (WLFI) price has emerged as the week’s most talked-about token, riding a wave of political and retail speculation. Priced near $0.15, WLFI saw trading volume soar more than 800% within a day. Much of the enthusiasm stems from its association with Trump-linked branding and the perception of upcoming policy-friendly shifts in the U.S. economy. However, analysts note that whale concentration remains high, and several reports of wallet blacklisting have raised concerns about centralisation risks. Technically, WLFI has broken past short-term resistance near $0.18, turning it into support. If momentum continues, the next target lies around $0.25–$0.28, though profit-taking could trigger sharp retracements given its rapid, sentiment-driven rise. As seen in the above chart, the WLFI price spiked heavily and pierced through the pivotal resistance at $0.133 and $0.152. The token has reached the pivotal resistance zone between $0.163 and $0.167, but only a breakout from this zone could validate a bullish reversal. The Stochastic RSI has reached the overbought zone, and hence, a small pullback could be on the horizon. In such a case, the area around $0.15 may act as a strong support and trigger a rebound to $0.18 and later to $0.2. The TRUMP price is experiencing a powerful revival, climbing above $10.70 amid soaring market enthusiasm. The surge follows increased media coverage of Trump-related political events and renewed speculation surrounding potential crypto policy discussions. Trading activity on decentralized exchanges has spiked, making TRUMP one of the most active political memecoins in the market. From a technical standpoint, the token is approaching a breakout zone between $11.50 and $12.00, which could open room toward $15.00 if volume sustains. However, traders should remain cautious: the token’s historical rallies have been followed by 20–40% pullbacks within days. For now, sentiment and volatility—not fundamentals—are driving price direction. As seen in the above chart, the TRUMP price has broken above the descending trend line with a strong intent. With this, the pattern formed is a rising parallel channel, indicating the beginning of a fresh ascending trend. The RSI and CMF are both incremental, supporting the bullish thesis, and hence the price may continue to rise. The RSI has not entered the overbought range since inception, and if it does now, it could revive a strong upswing, securing levels above $10. The twin rallies in WLFI and TRUMP highlight how narrative-driven speculation continues to dominate portions of the crypto market. With macro optimism rising and political cycles fueling trader enthusiasm, these tokens have become short-term beneficiaries of attention-based liquidity. However, long-term sustainability will depend on whether either project delivers tangible progress beyond branding. As the week unfolds, WLFI and TRUMP will remain key volatility plays in a politically charged crypto landscape.
WLFI token price jumps 33% after Senate advances shutdown-ending deal. Political optimism and Trump ties fuel a strong WLFI trading surge. WLFI token volatility rises as House vote and market reactions loom. The WLFI token price has surged dramatically as the US Senate passed a procedural deal aimed at ending the historic 40-day US government shutdown, sending ripples through the cryptocurrency market. Following the passage of the deal, World Liberty Financial (WLFI), a politically-linked DeFi project backed by the Trump family, saw its native token climb over 33% in a single day, reflecting both political optimism and heightened speculative interest. Political developments drive WLFI price The surge in WLFI price started immediately after the Senate approved a bipartisan agreement to fund the government, a key procedural first step following weeks of legislative deadlock. This vote represents the most significant progress toward ending the shutdown, which began on October 1, 2025, leaving approximately 1.4 million federal employees on unpaid leave and halting essential services, including SNAP benefits for millions of low-income Americans. Although the deal now moves to the House of Representatives, where additional approvals are required, the procedural success removed immediate macroeconomic uncertainty and sparked a broad risk-on environment across financial markets. Historically, political narratives have been particularly influential in driving World Liberty Financial (WLFI) gains. Besides the procedural deal, President Trump’s comments on potential $2,000 “tariffs dividends” and his pro-crypto stance have provided additional momentum for the token. WLFI token price analysis The WLFI token price recently cleared critical resistance levels, including its 30-day simple moving average and key Fibonacci retracement points, signalling renewed buying strength. The trading volume has spiked by over 600% in 24 hours, indicating heightened participation from both retail and institutional investors. In addition, futures open interest has jumped significantly, reflecting aggressive long positions and a speculative appetite that contributed to volatility. Despite brief dips caused by large holder activity, such as the recent Jump Crypto’s transfer of 18.42 million WLFI to Binance , the overall trend remained sharply upward, with the token establishing higher lows that suggest sustained buying interest. WLFI token price outlook Looking ahead, WLFI token price is likely to remain reactive to news surrounding the US government shutdown and subsequent House of Representatives approvals. While the Senate’s vote marked an important procedural step, additional hurdles remain before federal employees are fully restored to pay and government services resume. Political developments, including potential policy updates on healthcare subsidies and tariff dividends, will continue to influence the token’s performance. Rumours regarding potential involvement of key figures like Binance founder Changpeng Zhao in the World Liberty Financial (WLFI) ecosystem have also fueled speculation and trading activity, adding layers of momentum to the WLFI token price action. Investors should also monitor large-holder transactions and derivatives activity, which could amplify volatility.
Bitcoin forms a CME gap at the $104K–$105K level. Gaps like these often signal a potential price retest. Market watchers anticipate possible movement toward the gap zone. A CME gap occurs when the Chicago Mercantile Exchange (CME) Bitcoin futures market opens at a different price than where it previously closed, often due to weekend trading on crypto spot markets. These gaps are closely watched by traders because Bitcoin tends to “fill” them by revisiting those price levels in the future. Recently, Bitcoin opened a significant CME gap between $104,000 and $105,000, signaling a possible future retracement toward that zone. While gaps don’t guarantee a price movement, they’ve proven historically to be influential indicators. Why This Gap Matters The newly formed CME gap at such a high level comes as Bitcoin continues its bullish momentum. Analysts view this gap as a technical magnet, suggesting that price could return to fill it—especially during periods of low volatility or after sharp rallies. Gaps at elevated price levels can also indicate strong institutional interest. With the gap at $104K–$105K, it implies some institutional traders may have projected bullish targets beyond current market prices, which is significant for long-term outlooks. ⚠️ALERT: BITCOIN OPENS A CME GAP IN THE $104K–$105K! Watch closely for a potential retest.👀 pic.twitter.com/Sd7XwE054H — Coin Bureau (@coinbureau) November 10, 2025 What Traders Should Watch For Investors and traders alike should monitor Bitcoin’s price action closely in the coming weeks. A potential retest of the $104K–$105K CME gap may offer an entry or exit point, depending on market momentum. Watch for: Volume spikes near support/resistance zones. Breakouts or rejections around key levels. Macro indicators and BTC ETF flows influencing direction. Although nothing is guaranteed in crypto, understanding the significance of CME gaps can offer useful insights, especially for those looking to plan trades or anticipate price action.

Rising spot order sizes hint at institutional interest. Ethereum is holding strong between $3K and $3.4K. A low-volatility accumulation phase could be underway. Recent data on Ethereum spot order sizes is pointing toward a potential return of institutional investors to the Ethereum market . Analysts have observed a notable increase in the average order size on exchanges, a common sign that larger players are stepping back in. This pattern of behavior often precedes significant price movements or accumulation phases, where large investors begin building positions slowly to avoid spiking volatility. The increase in larger buy orders suggests growing confidence in Ethereum’s current valuation levels. $3K–$3.4K: A Key Support Zone Technical analysts are closely watching the $3,000 to $3,400 range. This price region appears to be acting as a strong structural support for Ethereum. If this zone continues to hold, it could provide the foundation for a broader upward trend. A consistent bounce from this range, combined with rising spot order sizes, supports the theory that Ethereum is entering an accumulation phase. Historically, these quiet, low-volatility periods have preceded strong bullish trends in the crypto market . Spot Order Size Data Hints at Institutional Re-Entry Into Ethereum Market “If this behaviour persists and the $3-$3.4K region holds as structural support, Ethereum may be entering a low-volatility accumulation zone.” – By @ShayanBTC7 pic.twitter.com/O60J3NmIdS — CryptoQuant.com (@cryptoquant_com) November 10, 2025 Accumulation Zone Could Set Stage for Next Rally Market watchers believe that Ethereum may be transitioning into a low-volatility accumulation zone. This is typically a period when smart money—like institutional investors—steadily accumulates an asset without drawing too much attention. Such phases are essential in crypto cycles, as they lay the groundwork for larger upward moves. With the broader market stabilizing and Ethereum maintaining support, a breakout could follow if accumulation continues.

BOE suggests a £20K cap on individual stablecoin wallets. Businesses could face a £10M holding limit. The move aims to reduce financial risk and protect consumers. The Bank of England (BOE) has proposed new limits on how much stablecoin individuals and businesses can hold. Under the draft regulation , individuals would be restricted to a maximum of £20,000 in stablecoins, while businesses would face a cap of £10 million. These proposals are part of the UK government’s broader plan to regulate digital assets and protect the financial system from potential risks posed by digital currencies. Why the BOE is Capping Stablecoin Holdings The BOE is concerned that widespread use of stablecoins could impact the stability of traditional banks and monetary policy. If people move too much money into stablecoins, it might weaken the role of commercial banks in lending and disrupt the financial ecosystem. By introducing these caps, regulators hope to strike a balance—encouraging innovation while ensuring financial safety and resilience. 🇬🇧 JUST IN: The UK’s BOE proposes a £20K cap on individual stablecoin holdings and £10M for businesses. pic.twitter.com/85JXOrs5X5 — Cointelegraph (@Cointelegraph) November 10, 2025 Impact on the Crypto Industry The proposed caps could significantly shape how stablecoin firms operate in the UK. For individual users, the £20K limit may seem reasonable, but businesses handling large-scale transactions might face operational challenges under the £10 million ceiling. Still, this move sends a clear message: the UK is taking a cautious yet open approach to digital currencies. The government is expected to hold further consultations before the rules are finalized, giving crypto stakeholders a chance to weigh in.

It currently holds over 3.24 million Ethereum, maintaining its position as the largest global reserve. [US CFTC May Allow Stablecoins as Tokenized Collateral in Derivatives Markets] According to Bitpush and CoinDesk, sources reveal that the US Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) is formulating a tokenized collateral policy expected to be released early next year. This policy may allow stablecoins to be used as acceptable tokenized collateral in derivatives markets, possibly starting with a pilot at US clearinghouses and implementing stricter regulations requiring more disclosure, such as position sizes, large traders and trading volumes, as well as more detailed reporting of operational events. [Changpeng Zhao: No Personal Relationship with Trump, No Business Dealings with WLFI] According to Bitpush, in an interview with Fox News today, Changpeng Zhao said he was "a bit surprised by the pardon; you never know if or when it will happen." He has never met or spoken with Trump. Zhao said he would very much like to meet Trump, which would be a great honor. Additionally, Zhao stated that he met Eric Trump once at a bitcoin conference in Abu Dhabi. Reports of "trading with WLFI in exchange for a pardon" are false; there was no transaction or discussion. There have never been any negotiations. He has no business relationship with WLFI. [OpenAI Exposed for Requesting Loan Guarantees from White House, Contradicting CEO’s Public Statement] According to Bitpush and Decrypt, an 11-page letter submitted by OpenAI to the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy on October 27 was made public, explicitly requesting government loan guarantees and direct funding support for AI infrastructure construction. However, only 10 days later, CEO Sam Altman publicly stated on social media that "OpenAI does not need or want government guarantees" and emphasized that "taxpayers should not pay for companies’ poor business decisions." Previously, OpenAI CFO Sarah Friar mentioned at a Wall Street Journal event that federal "guarantees" could lower AI infrastructure financing costs, but quickly retracted the statement due to controversy. This incident has once again raised questions about Altman’s transparency, reminiscent of his brief dismissal in November 2023 for "inconsistent candor." [Singapore’s Largest Money Laundering Fugitive Su Binghai Has Assets Worth About 260 Million RMB Seized in the UK] According to Bitpush and Caixin, Su Binghai, a fugitive in Singapore’s largest money laundering case, had assets worth about 260 million RMB seized in the UK, including nine apartments in London (about 140 million RMB) and dinosaur fossils (about 116 million RMB). The case involves 3 billion Singapore dollars (about 16 billion RMB). Another suspect, Wang Shuiming, has been arrested in Montenegro, and partner Su Weiyi is alleged to be the mastermind behind the Hong Kong crypto platform Atom Asset Exchange scam. [Coinbase Officially Hints at Launching Launchpad Platform] According to Bitpush, Coinbase posted a video on X with the caption: "It doesn’t have to be this way." Based on the video content and comments, it is suggested that the Launchpad platform may be launched on November 10. [US Treasury Grants Tax Breaks to Private Equity, Crypto Companies Without Legislation] According to Bitpush and as cited by Golden Ten Data from The New York Times, the US Treasury has provided tax breaks to private equity firms, crypto companies, foreign real estate investors, and other large companies through proposed regulations. For example, in October this year, the IRS issued new proposed regulations to offer benefits to foreign investors in US real estate. In August, the IRS proposed relaxing rules to prevent multinational companies from avoiding taxes by claiming duplicate losses in multiple countries. These announcements have not yet made headlines but have been noted by accounting and consulting firms. Kyle Pomerleau, senior fellow at the American Enterprise Institute, said: "The US Treasury has clearly been implementing tax cuts without legislation. Congress decides tax law. The Treasury is asserting more power over tax law structure than Congress has granted, undermining this constitutional principle."
World Liberty Financial is on a 33% rally, currently trading at $0.16. The daily trading volume of WLFI has skyrocketed by over 665%. As of 10 November, the crypto assets woke up to the bullish ring with a 5.03% surge in the market. All the major assets are charted in green, seeking to reclaim the recent highs, including Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH). Meanwhile, World Liberty Financial (WLFI) followed suit, registering a solid and steady 33.15% jump in value in the last 24 hours. The asset opened the day trading at a low of $0.1199, and with the bullish encounter in the WLFI market, the price rose to a high of $0.1681. To confirm the bullish pressure, a series of resistance levels were tested and broken between $0.1207 and $0.1674. Notably, if the uptrend holds, the asset could see additional gains. At press time, World Liberty Financial traded at around the $0.1600 zone, with its market cap resting at $3.88 billion. Besides, the daily trading volume has exploded by over 665%, reaching the $637.65 million mark. The Coinglass data has reported that the market has observed a 24-hour liquidation of $2.89 million worth of WLFI. Will the World Liberty Financial Bulls Keep the Fuel Flowing? The price chart of World Liberty Financial reveals the bullish pressure, and the price might test the $0.1612 resistance. The golden cross could take place with the bulls gaining more strength. Gradually, the price may move up toward $0.1625. Upon a bearish reversal in the WLFI market, the price is expected to fall to support at around $0.1589. With an extended downside correction, the death cross might emerge and likely drive the asset’s price below the $0.1575 range. WLFI chart (Source: TradingView ) World Liberty Financial’s MACD line has moved above the signal line, which indicates a bullish signal. This can be a sign that the asset’s price could continue rising, reflecting growing strength in upward momentum. In addition, the CMF indicator of WLFI at 0.23 suggests strong buying pressure. With the value holding above zero, capital continues to move into the asset. The higher the value, the stronger the bullish momentum and confidence in the market. The RSI value of 77.12 signals WLFI’s overbought condition . The buying momentum has been strong, and there is also a sign that a pullback or correction could occur unless strong bullish sentiment continues. World Liberty Financial’s BBP value of 0.0459 implies that the bulls are slightly dominant in the market. However, the number is relatively small, so the strength of the uptrend remains limited and could shift quickly.

As the U.S. Senate advanced a bipartisan funding bill aimed at ending the federal shutdown, World Liberty Financial (WLFi) — the Trump family’s crypto venture — is back in the spotlight. On Monday, Nov. 10, the WLFI token price rose 30% to a high of $0.1681 and has since stabilized at $0.1571. Summary WLFI is up 25% on the day, after reaching a peak of $0.1681 U.S. government shutdown is about to end, creating positive market sentiment Major crypto assets and stocks were all up, but not as much as WLFI World Liberty Financial’s intraday volume also spiked, rising 842.02% to almost $900 million, marking one of its most active sessions since launch. The move is in stark contrast to public perception of President Trump, whose approval rating among voters has decreased, according to a new Emerson College poll . WLFI token beats markets in rally The funding resolution came after eight Democrats broke ranks and voted with Republicans. This enabled the Republicans to secure a 60-40, bipartisan vote on the bill and avoid a broader deal with the Democrats. Politically, the resolution is a victory for Trump and the Republicans, which is likely why the WLFi token price went up. Notably, the Official Trump (TRUMP) meme coin also soared 17% after the deal news broke. In any case, both stocks and crypto assets rose as news of the deal broke, amid the shutdown’s contribution to significant macroeconomic uncertainty. Namely, the S&P 500 was up 1.32%, the Nasdaq was up 2.07%, while the top 20 crypto assets were up 2.15%.
Crypto markets often separate true leaders from noise through timing, liquidity, and institutional conviction. Three projects are defining that distinction now. XRP maintains a cautiously bullish outlook, trading near $2.58 as traders monitor the crucial $3 resistance level that could confirm breakout momentum. Points Cover In This Article: Toggle XRP Eyes $3: Breakout Loading or False Alarm? WLFI Boosts Stablecoin Plan With New Rewards Push $86M Institutional Entry Confirms Big Money’s Confidence in BlockDAG Closing Statement World Liberty (WLFI) is gaining traction through its token airdrop and Apple Pay integration, showing how stablecoin platforms are pursuing real-world payments adoption. Yet, BlockDAG (BDAG) remains the standout story. With $86 million in confirmed institutional backing and a fundraising price ahead of its listing, it reflects rising smart-money confidence. As XRP consolidates and WLFI expands, BlockDAG’s entry into its scarcity phase positions it among the most popular cryptocurrencies primed for transformative growth. XRP Eyes $3: Breakout Loading or False Alarm? XRP is finally showing momentum after weeks of range-bound action, holding steady above the $2.50 support level. Price is currently near $2.58, with a potential bullish flag pattern suggesting buyers may be preparing for another push higher. If XRP breaks above its resistance zone, analysts see room for a move toward the $2.95–$3.00 range, a key level that could signal a strong continuation of its broader uptrend. Still, the opportunity comes with caution. A drop below $2.50 would weaken the current setup and possibly send the price toward $2.30. For investors, XRP is at a decisive point, the structure favors bulls, but confirmation is needed. Those watching for a breakout may want to monitor volume and resistance levels closely before entering. WLFI Boosts Stablecoin Plan With New Rewards Push World Liberty Financial is moving forward with a strategy aimed at strengthening its stablecoin, USD1, through ecosystem rewards and utility-focused partnerships. The latest update includes a token distribution program designed to boost on-chain activity and encourage use of USD1 across multiple platforms. The company is also preparing to launch a debit card that connects USD1 to Apple Pay, signaling a push toward everyday payments. Alongside this, WLFI recently joined forces with Bitcoin miner Hut 8 on treasury initiatives and discussed future plans to tokenize assets like property and commodities, a move aimed at bringing traditional markets into crypto rails. Investors may want to watch this project as WLFI expands DeFi access and builds loyalty mechanics around its stablecoin. Continued exchange listings and dApp integrations could help shape long-term demand, but transparency around reserves remains a key factor to monitor. $86M Institutional Entry Confirms Big Money’s Confidence in BlockDAG Institutional capital often leads where retail hesitation lingers, and BlockDAG’s $86 million institutional deal highlights that shift clearly. A major whale entered during the early fundraising rather than waiting for post-launch volatility, signaling confidence in the project’s fundamentals rather than short-term speculation. This scale of participation reflects conviction in BlockDAG’s long-term potential and its progress toward becoming one of the most advanced networks in the current market cycle. Such institutional positioning establishes both psychological and financial stability for the project. Investors with this level of exposure rarely act impulsively; their entry reinforces market confidence, creating a foundation that supports value growth over time. Similar phases of institutional entry historically preceded major expansions in early Solana, Ethereum, and Bitcoin cycles. BlockDAG remains priced at $0.005 in Batch 32, offering a clear window before the value curve steepens. With $435 million already raised and 4.3 billion coins allocated for this closing phase, the project’s Value Era emphasizes transparency, structured vesting, and scalability. Each pricing stage increases gradually toward a $0.05 listing, ensuring sustainable participation while maintaining scarcity. This institutional commitment is more than a headline, it is validation of a project grounded in measurable delivery and governance maturity. As retail sentiment follows, BlockDAG’s foundation appears set for steady, long-term expansion. Closing Statement XRP continues to build structure and momentum, though traders remain focused on the key $3 level for confirmation. WLFI, supported by its token airdrop and expanding payment integrations, is pushing forward a stablecoin-focused vision aimed at real-world usage. Both projects show potential, yet both require broader market validation before scaling further. BlockDAG, however, already demonstrates clear institutional conviction, marked by an $86 million commitment during its early funding phase. For those assessing the next wave of most popular cryptocurrencies, the contrast is evident. XRP and WLFI are developing credibility, while BlockDAG is already capturing it. With access still available before listings, its timing aligns perfectly with smart-money accumulation phases. In today’s market, hesitation could mean missing the next defining opportunity.

Key Notes Eric Trump-backed firm expands Bitcoin treasury to 4,004 BTC through mining operations and market purchases. Bitcoin ETFs recorded $3.5 billion in outflows over six sessions as government shutdown impacts markets. Institutional investors like Strategy and Strive raise capital offerings despite correction, signaling long-term conviction. Eric Trump-backed American Bitcoin Corp. (Nasdaq: ABTC) has announced a purchase of approximately 139 Bitcoin BTC $101 198 24h volatility: 0.2% Market cap: $2.02 T Vol. 24h: $86.63 B , bringing its total holding above the 4,000 BTC mark. The purchase confirmation comes amid intense market sell-off as the US government reports worse-than-expected impact of shutdown. In addition to strategic purchases, a significant portion of American Bitcoin’s 4,004 BTC haul Bitcoin mining revenue, which includes Bitcoin held in custody or pledged for miner purchases under an agreement with BITMAIN. “We continue to expand our Bitcoin holdings rapidly and cost-effectively through a dual strategy that integrates scaled Bitcoin mining operations with disciplined at-market purchases,” E ric Trump stated . Official Trump memecoin price declines 3% to $7.5 on Nov 7, 2025 | Source: Coingecko The Official Trump memecoin, which is often driven by major announcements from Trump-linked entities, also plunged with the market on Nov. 7, 2025. The Trump token is trading at $7.5, down 3% intraday, with a market capitalization of $1.5 billion, according to Coingecko data . Institutional Investors Remain Resilient Amid ETF Profit-Taking Bitcoin ETFs have faced significant withdrawals this month, with $3.5 billion in outflows across six consecutive trading sessions in early November, according to Farside data. The selloff coincides with rising short-term bond yields as the US government shutdown delays spending resolutions, prompting capital rotation away from equities and risk assets. Bitcoin ETF Flows | Source: FarsideInvestors However, institutional investors with a longer-term horizon are capitalizing on the wobbling Bitcoin prices to increase their holdings. Amid the market-wide corrections on Nov. 7, Bitcoin investment firm Strategy raised its Stream Perpetual Preferred Stock (STRE) offering to €620 million ($715 million). Strategy upsized offering follows Strive’s $80 IPO which nearly doubled its Perpetual Preferred Stock (SATA) from 1.25 million to 2 million shares. After Charles Schwab’s Bitcoin ETF announcement on Nov. 6, net inflows resumed across the ETF sector, with $239.9 million re-entering the market as Bitcoin stabilized near $100,000.

Foresight News reported that World Liberty Financial announced it has acquired a portion of USD1 tokens as a strategic reserve, aiming to promote the adoption of USD1 on the Solana blockchain.
Key takeaways Reuters estimates Trump-linked ventures earned $802 million in crypto in early 2025. Income came from WLFI tokens, the TRUMP coin and USD1 stablecoin yields. Alt5 Sigma’s deal and foreign buyers helped turn token value into cash. As US crypto enforcement eased, experts noted possible conflict concerns. In the first half of 2025, Trump-linked ventures booked roughly $802 million in crypto income, primarily from World Liberty Financial (WLFI) token sales and the Official Trump ( TRUMP ) memecoin, dwarfing revenue from golf, licensing and real estate. Reuters’ investigation and methodology papers detail where the cash came from and how it was tallied. This guide explains the mechanics, the buyers and the policy context without the hype. What is World Liberty Financial? WLFI launched in late 2024 as a token-centric project tied to the Trump family. Its governance token, WLFI, offers limited holder rights compared with traditional decentralized finance (DeFi) governance models. The company’s lawyer argues that the token has “real utility.” The core monetization model is straightforward. A Trump Organization affiliate is entitled to 75% of token-sale revenue after expenses, according to WLFI’s “Gold Paper.” Reuters used this document as the basis for its income model . In the first half of 2025, Reuters estimates that WLFI token sales were the single largest cash contributor. They accounted for the bulk of the family’s crypto windfall. The Alt5 Sigma deal In August 2025, WLFI marked a Nasdaq deal in which Alt5 Sigma raised hundreds of millions of dollars to purchase WLFI tokens. The move provided a major demand catalyst and converted a portion of on-paper value into realized cash for Trump-controlled entities. Separate reporting in August outlined a broader plan for a $1.5-billion WLFI “treasury” strategy linked to Alt5. The plan aimed to hold a significant portion of the token supply, details that help explain the scale of flows into WLFI. How the TRUMP memecoin generated cash The TRUMP coin launched on Jan. 17, 2025, and its creators earned a share of the trading fees from Meteora, the exchange where it first traded. Within two weeks, onchain forensics firms cited by Reuters estimated between $86 million and $100 million in fees, mostly on Meteora. In its analysis of the first half of 2025, the outlet modeled roughly $672 million in coin sales and, using a conservative 50% share assumption, attributed around $336 million to Trump-linked interests. The methodology acknowledges uncertainty because ownership and fee splits are not fully disclosed. Who bought the tokens? Most WLFI buyers are pseudonymous wallet addresses, but the investigation identified several high-profile participants and concentrated foreign demand. The investigation highlights the Aqua1 Foundation’s $100-million WLFI purchase and reports that Eric Trump and Donald Trump Jr. participated in a global investor roadshow promoting the token. The review also notes that identifiable major buyers include overseas investors. While attribution remains probabilistic, foreign participation among large WLFI holders appears significant. The USD1 stablecoin (and its interest stream) WLFI also promotes USD1 , a dollar-pegged stablecoin backed by reserves in cash and US Treasurys, with custody handled by BitGo. Reuters reports that the reserves backing USD1 generate an estimated $80 million annual interest run rate at prevailing yields and notes that a portion of that interest accrues to a company 38%-owned by the Trump Organization, though the actual realized amount for 2025 remains unspecified. In May 2025, Abu Dhabi-backed MGX announced a $2-billion investment in Binance, which, according to reports and public statements by WLFI, was set to be settled using USD1. The deal stands as a marquee example of how WLFI’s stablecoin is positioned to facilitate very large transactions. How Reuters got to “$802 million” Because much of the Trump business empire is private, Reuters combined presidential disclosures, property records, court-released financials and onchain trade data. It then applied explicit assumptions, such as WLFI’s 75% revenue share for WLFI token sales and a 50% share on TRUMP, which were reviewed by academics and certified public accountants. The outlet’s conclusion was that nearly $802 million of the Trump family’s income in the first half of 2025 came from crypto ventures, compared with just $62 million from their traditional businesses. Did you know? WLFI disputes parts of Reuters’ analysis, arguing that its revenue model was oversimplified, wallet data misinterpreted and the project’s real-world utility overlooked. The policy backdrop (and the conflict question) Since January 2025, the US enforcement posture toward crypto has shifted. The Justice Department disbanded its National Cryptocurrency Enforcement Team and narrowed its priorities , while the US Securities and Exchange Commission dropped or paused several high-profile cases, including its motion to dismiss Coinbase and the termination of actions against other major firms. Ethics experts told Reuters that a sitting president overseeing crypto policy while his family earns substantial crypto income presents a novel conflict of interest, even if it is not unlawful. The White House and company representatives have denied any wrongdoing. Findings and broader context In short, what appears to be an $800-million “gold rush” is, beneath the surface, a blend of brand-driven token sales, fee-rich memecoin mechanics, a high-velocity treasury deal and a yield-bearing stablecoin. The totals are drawn from documented splits and modeled flows. The controversy, however, centers on who the buyers were, how transparent the ventures remain, and how US policy shifted as the money flowed in. For anyone tracking crypto politics, this story now serves as a live case study in incentives, disclosure and governance risk.
What's shaping up to be the longest government shutdown in U.S. history most likely brought to a halt the Securities and Exchange Commission's inquiry into whether publicly listed crypto treasuries committed any acts that could be construed as insider trading. But once the government reopens, multiple former SEC lawyers say the regulatory agency will almost certainly restart their probe, which could possibly result in the regulator issuing subpoenas within as little as one to two months should the inquiry escalate into full-blown investigations. "If the trading is suspicious and there's a strong relationship between a corporate insider — who had material, nonpublic information — and an individual that traded on that information, that may be enough for a subpoena," David Chase, a former SEC enforcement lawyer who now works as a defense attorney, told The Block. In late September, roughly a week before the U.S. government shutdown began, The Wall Street Journal reported that both the SEC and the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) contacted multiple publicly listed companies, which earlier this year adopted new business strategies of purchasing crypto, with questions about irregular patterns of trading volume and share price movements that may have occurred days before crucial corporate information was made public. SEC officials specifically warned companies about potential violations of Regulation Fair Disclosure, according to WSJ. The regulation strictly prohibits public companies from disclosing material, nonpublic information to people who might use the intel to inform stock trading decisions. "The SEC and FINRA don't start off necessarily saying this is an insider trading case," Howard Fischer, a former senior trial counsel at the SEC, told The Block. "They say: 'Let's take a look at this because it looks like before the information was released to the general public, about the adoption of a digital asset treasury strategy, there was anomalous trading in the equities of this company.'" Besides Bitcoin and Ethereum digital asset treasuries (DATs), the two most popular cryptocurrencies among treasuries, several publicly traded companies have also decided to accumulate large quantities of different altcoins. So far, billions of dollars have been invested in DATs. SEC probe frozen with skeleton crew For now, neither the SEC nor FINRA is saying anything. FINRA, which is a self-regulatory organization that writes and enforces rules for registered brokers, is fully up and running during the government shutdown. SROs are not part of the federal government and are funded by regulated members, according to the regulator . FINRA declined to comment when asked about the probe. In the SEC's case, with less than 10% of its staff currently working, the agency's inquiry into crypto treasuries is most likely on ice, as most employees who work on investigations have likely been furloughed. During the shutdown, which began on Oct. 1, the SEC is working off an agency plan, a spokesperson told The Block. The SEC can respond to emergencies related to either the safety of human life or the protection of property. Most people expect the stalemate between Republicans and Democrats will eventually end and the U.S. government will be allowed to reopen, with people returning to work. At the SEC, that likely means lawyers, accountants, and other individuals who specialize in investigations picking up where they left off before the shutdown. Responses to SEC letters important Whether or not subpoenas are eventually sent out once the government reopens will depend a lot on how different parties, who received letters, choose to respond to regulators, according to former SEC lawyers. The agency could also send out voluntary information requests, which Fischer said is happening more now than under the previous Biden administration. Voluntary information requests are where the SEC asks for documents during an investigation. Although the requests are not legally enforceable, if the contacted parties decline, that response can trigger a subpoena. Kris Swiatek, a partner at Seward Kissel LLP, where he specializes in digital assets, told The Block that how companies respond to initial inquiries will play a major role in whether or not the SEC pursues further action and issues subpoenas. "Every public issuer, and any parties that are related to them in terms of the deals that were struck, will be viewed in its own light at the end of the day," said Swiatek. Chase said the SEC will want to establish a timeline. "They send what's called a chronology letter, basically who knew what and when at the company in terms of the material, nonpublic information," he said. And as to who could be facing insider trading allegations? "It could be insiders at the company. It could be people outside the company. It could be people who are approached to finance these transactions. There's a whole host of people who they could be looking at," said Fischer. Responses and subpoenas aside, at least one former SEC lawyer said the existing data could be enough to jumpstart a proper investigation. "If this was a real insider trading investigation that they wanted to pursue, they could make a lot of headway just based on the market information," one former SEC lawyer told The Block. Fischer said although it's unclear exactly what regulators are looking at, they are likely analyzing market activity. "If you look at a chart of average daily volume before they announce this kind of activity, there's a huge spike … so clearly someone knew what was going to happen or predicted it based on other information and purchased the securities in anticipation of that market move," he said. Chase said if subpoenas are issued, the SEC will likely ask to see phone, email, text, and social media communications. Then, after testimonies are taken, the SEC would probably determine whether there is enough evidence to move forward with recommending charges and issuing a Wells notice. That notice is a form of communication from SEC staff that lets a firm know that the agency's staff may recommend an enforcement action against them. Crypto treasuries a 'risk area' While the DAT phenomenon is a recent one, the SEC scrutinizing crypto companies and individuals who work in crypto is nothing new. In 2023, the SEC charged Terraform Labs and Do Kwon with securities fraud. Coinbase and Binance have also been targeted. The SEC ended up settling with Terraform and later dismissed the cases against Coinbase and Binance . The SEC also brought a lawsuit against crypto-project Unicoin for allegedly offering fraud rights certificates to investors of its cryptocurrency and common stock. That lawsuit is still ongoing. Since President Trump took office, however, the U.S. government's, including the SEC's, treatment of crypto organizations has been markedly different, with digital asset executives celebrating the seemingly pro-crypto administration. "Regulators have been certainly warming up to crypto under this new administration," said Swiatek, adding that this SEC probe could end up being the first instance of the agency questioning the behavior of companies operating in the digital assets space during Trump's second term. "This is sort of one of the first new signs of 'Look, there's something happening here that we need to look into.' That's an interesting dynamic," he said. David Namdar, who is CEO of the Nasdaq-listed crypto treasury BNB Network , which owns over $450 million in BNB tokens, seems to think some people in crypto need to become accustomed to a new, and more regulated form, of doing business. "As the digital asset and venture worlds intersect more with public markets, there’s a learning curve about how material information must be controlled," he told The Block. "One issue in certain deals in the sector has been what people describe as information leakage, related to situations where bad actors have shared pieces of information related to a potential transaction, leading to market chatter about pending transactions before official filings." Namdar said that to the best of his knowledge, BNB Network, which is officially named CEA Industries Inc., is "not among the companies subject to in-depth inquiries from the SEC or FINRA." 'Touchy subject' given Trump ties to DATs One legal advocate for a major crypto venture capital firm warned that the digital asset treasury boom could end up being a considerable "risk area" for the digital assets industry if DATs take on too much debt to buy crypto. But the advocate also said there's a worry among some monitoring the situation that the SEC looking into DATs might reveal irregular activity within an organization tied to the Trump family. "On the DATs, there is some fear about the Trump family," the person said, adding that the policing of DATs is a "touchy subject" due to the president's close ties to crypto treasuries. While there is no proof that the Trumps have done anything wrong or that the SEC is looking into any companies with ties to the president, Trump is connected to more than one DAT, including Nasdaq-listed ALT5 Sigma Corporation, which holds a reserve of WLFI tokens, the native cryptocurrency of World Liberty Financial, which is a Trump-backed DeFi project. Trump-owned Trump Media Technology Group Corp., the company behind Truth Social, also adopted a crypto treasury strategy . Trump Media is also listed on the Nasdaq. ALT5 Sigma and Trump Media didn't immediately respond to a request for comment. The advocate, however, is encouraged that the SEC is trying to get to the bottom of whether or not wrongdoing occurred, regardless of how crypto-friendly Trump's government has been. "This is what the SEC should be doing. You want them actually focused on nascent areas where there's a burst of activity and some questionable, inter-person trading," they said. "This is what we would want out of the SEC if we want crypto to work well."
Trump’s latest “pardon drama” is honestly more exciting than any Hollywood script, with the entertainment value maxed out. On one hand, he’s on TV saying “I don’t know who he is,” while on the other, he’s pulling up the crypto world’s “number one player” CZ (Changpeng Zhao). This god-level maneuver could only be pulled off by Trump—anyone else would have a hard time making it work. Below, we’ve distilled the hottest details and core viewpoints to see what kind of political-business exchange and power shift in the crypto world is hidden behind this “CZ pardon” event. Act One: The President’s “Confusion”—Key Highlights from 60 Minutes Trump’s Denial: “I don’t know who he is” Former U.S. President Trump was recently interviewed on 60 Minutes. When host Norah O'Donnell asked a pointed question about pardoning Binance founder CZ (Changpeng Zhao), Trump gave a highly dramatic answer: “I don’t know who he is.” Avoiding the Reason for the Pardon: When asked why he pardoned a crypto giant previously accused by the government of “causing significant harm to U.S. national security” (involving the transfer of funds to terrorist organizations), Trump directly distanced himself, saying he only knew CZ was sentenced to about four months, and instead blamed CZ’s conviction on the Biden administration’s “political witch hunt.” Direct Questioning of a Quid Pro Quo: Norah O'Donnell pressed further, raising the core question—“After Binance assisted with a $2 billion purchase of WLFI stablecoin in 2025, you pardoned CZ. How do you respond to suspicions of a quid pro quo?” Trump’s Universal Response: Trump continued to dodge, claiming he “knew nothing about it because he was busy with other matters.” However, he did emphasize that his son is involved in the crypto industry and praised “crypto as a good industry,” but stressed that they are engaged in business, not government affairs. Act Two: The Core of the Event—Why Suddenly Pardon CZ? On October 24, 2025, Trump exercised his presidential “pardon power,” wiping away CZ’s previous federal charges for violating anti-money laundering laws. This was not only CZ’s personal “get out of jail free card,” but also completely cleared the biggest historical burden for Binance’s expansion in the U.S. market during Trump’s term. CZ publicly expressed his gratitude and stated he would “do his utmost to help the U.S. become the capital of cryptocurrency.” Three In-Depth Perspectives on the Pardon Case Perspective Core Viewpoint Related Details Political and Business Exchange The pardon is not simply an “act of mercy,” but a potential exchange of “political pardon” for “business assistance.” Before the pardon, Binance was already deeply tied to the Trump family’s crypto company WLF, assisting with an investment of up to $2 billion in USD1 (WLF stablecoin) on Binance. Even more “coincidentally,” the SEC dropped a key lawsuit against Binance shortly after approving USD1’s listing. Trump’s “Crypto Strategy” A 180-degree shift: from skeptic to fully shaping the image of a “crypto president.” The core motivation is electoral politics. Tens of millions of American crypto holders are an emerging young voter group that cannot be ignored. By pardoning CZ and calling for the establishment of bitcoin reserves, Trump aims to win over this political support. Industry Turning Point Leading companies move from the “regulatory blacklist” to “institutional players,” marking the industry’s “coming of age.” The pardon symbolizes the crypto industry bidding farewell to its wild growth phase and entering a stage of compliance under the embrace of power. Future rules will be stricter, but at the same time, more traditional capital will be attracted. Act Three: Market Impact and Future Trends 1. Caixin’s “Old News” and Strategic Signals Authoritative media outlet Caixin published a feature on CZ shortly after the pardon, in which he suggested China should “seriously consider issuing a RMB stablecoin.” Although CZ later clarified that the interview took place before the pardon, the timing and content of the report were widely interpreted by the market as a strategic signal intentionally released by Binance. 2. Targeting Eastern Markets: Binance’s Strategic Ambition After receiving a U.S. “pardon,” Binance’s strategic intent is clear: accelerate its return to Eastern markets. In interviews, CZ emphasized that RWA (real world assets) is the core battleground of the future. Considering the vast potential user base in mainland China, Binance is expected to gradually penetrate the market through technical cooperation and the development of crypto products pegged to the RMB, all within a compliant framework. 3. Market Impact: Political Risk Comes to the Fore The implementation of the pardon catalyzed capital inflows, with BNB trading volume and price surging rapidly in the short term, creating a policy-driven “fast rise and fall” pattern. However, in the long run, while the pardon erased CZ’s historical stain, it introduced a new “political uncertainty” variable for crypto assets. Geopolitical events are replacing fundamentals as the core external factor driving the performance of specific assets. The industry game has now evolved into a three-dimensional chess match of “technology-regulation-politics,” with political risk becoming a core strategic variable that cannot be ignored. Conclusion: This Move Deserves Respect This pardon case is a living example of a “political-business drama.” With a single “I don’t know” statement, Trump managed to distance himself from suspicions of a quid pro quo while successfully reaping the electoral benefits of being the “crypto president.” Meanwhile, CZ and Binance used this political pardon to shed their biggest historical burden and, with the $2 billion “tailwind,” restart their global expansion—especially in strategic deployments in Eastern markets. This move deserves respect. What do you think of Trump’s “I don’t know” response?
Key Points The WLFI token distribution will occur across six exchanges, and the company has plans to expand its points program. World Liberty Financial, a well-known cryptocurrency initiative linked to the Trump family, has unveiled plans to distribute tokens valued at $1.2 billion. The first to benefit from the upcoming WLFI token giveaway will be the initial participants in the USD1 stablecoin project. WLFI Token Distribution Across Six Exchanges World Liberty Financial has indicated that the initial WLFI token distribution will be carried out on six exchanges. These include Gate.io, KuCoin, LBank, HTX Global, Flipster, and MEXC. The imminent airdrop will reward individuals who took part in the USD1 Points Program, which was launched two months ago. The goal of this program is to encourage the adoption of World Liberty’s USD1 stablecoin, which is pegged to the US dollar. The company has also made plans for debit cards that support USD1 stablecoin transactions. Points were earned by participants by trading USD1 pairs on partner exchanges and keeping token balances. World Liberty announced its intention to expand its points program during the latest announcement. New partner platforms, DeFi integrations, and additional ways for users to earn and redeem rewards will be introduced. Last month, the company also announced a WLFI buyback and burn plan. World Liberty Financial’s USD 1 stablecoin is currently the sixth-largest stablecoin worldwide, with a market capitalization of $2.94 billion. Will the WLFI Token Rally Come to a Halt? The WLFI token has already seen a significant increase, rising 20% over the past week and is currently on the verge of a breakout past $0.15. The daily trading volumes have also risen by 27% to $266 million, indicating strong bullish momentum. Crypto analyst Marzell noted that the WLFI token is showing signs of strong accumulation after a long correction phase. According to Marzell, $0.14-$0.15 serves as a key support zone and strong demand area, while $0.19 remains the critical resistance and breakout level. The analyst maintained a bullish bias as long as WLFI holds above $0.15, setting a target above $0.19 for the next potential move. Marzell added that sellers appear to be losing momentum, while buyers are reloading positions. According to him, a confirmed breakout above $0.19 could signal the start of the next upward leg.

According to CoinMarketCap data, USD1 now ranks fifth in the stablecoin segment by market value. Tether’s USDT leads the list, followed by Circle’s USDC, Ethena’s USDe, and Dai.
