  1. reported

    Reuters reported that an entity calling itself Aqua 1 Foundation and saying it was UAE-based announced a $100 million WLFI purchase. Reporters could not verify its claimed principals, office, or regulatory registration; because World Liberty's terms send 75% of new token proceeds to the Trump family, Reuters said the purchase injected tens of millions of dollars into the family's personal coffers.

    Donald Trump signed the GENIUS Act on July 18, 2025. Section 4(i)(2) says the act does not limit existing ethics law and states that existing rules prohibit any member of Congress or senior executive-branch official from issuing a payment stablecoin while in public service; the enacted clause contains no express restriction on a president's relatives. AP reported that Trump's family held a significant stake in World Liberty Financial, issuer of a dollar-pegged stablecoin.
