WLFI

The narrative

Crypto is trying to make an impact this election cycle. Now, one of the leading contenders for President of the U.S. is tied to a forthcoming crypto venture.

Why it matters

There's one pretty interesting question: how should the former president and current Republican nominee think about securities and anti-money laundering laws as he prepares to lend his name to a crypto project?

Breaking it down

Former President Donald Trump will be the "chief crypto advocate" for World Liberty Financial, a project seemingly based on Dough Finance and featuring his three sons and a host of other individuals in key roles, according to scoops by my colleagues Danny Nelson, Cheyenne Ligon and Sam Kessler this week.

A draft white paper seen by CoinDesk suggests that World Liberty Financial will sell 30% of the WLFI tokens generated, with the remaining 70% held by founders, service providers and $BTC $ETH $BNB
