World Liberty Financial refutes recent media reports, considering them politically motivated and harmful to the crypto industry.
Denial of Accusations
In a statement posted on X, WLFI pushed back against coverage from The Wall Street Journal, Bloomberg, and other outlets, urging the public to disregard 'sensational headlines.' The project reaffirmed its mission to democratize finance and emphasized that the articles represent agenda-driven journalism aimed at discrediting the crypto industry.
Partnerships and Industry Position
WLFI also highlighted its partnerships with leading blockchain organizations, positioning itself as a key player in the industry’s future.
Reports on Trump's Binance Stake and CZ's Pardon
The media reports suggested that the Trump family was considering acquiring a stake in Binance.US, potentially through WLFI. These allegations coincided with Binance founder Changpeng Zhao's reported attempts to seek a presidential pardon following his 2023 guilty plea for violating anti-money-laundering laws. WLFI did not directly address these allegations, framing the coverage as part of a broader 'war on crypto' narrative. Changpeng Zhao also denied any discussions of a clemency deal, calling the reports inaccurate and politically driven.
World Liberty Financial continues to insist on its positive role in the industry and rejects accusations, urging the public to ignore sensational publications.
