Trump Crypto Venture World Liberty Financial Preps Stablecoin Audit and Product Push

2025/06/26 13:30

World Liberty Financial, the cryptocurrency venture affiliated with US president Donald Trump, is preparing to release a third-party audit of its stablecoin and roll out a new mobile app in the coming days, co-founder Zak Folkman said on Wednesday.

Speaking at the Permissionless conference hosted by Blockworks in Brooklyn, Folkman reportedly said the audit, completed by an independent accounting firm, will be published soon.

The move comes as the firm tries to bolster trust in its financial infrastructure while facing intense political scrutiny.

Folkman also teased the possibility of future changes to the platform’s governance token, WLFI, which currently cannot be traded. “I don’t want to give away too much, but if you pay attention over the next couple of weeks, I think everyone is going to be very, very happy,” he told the audience when asked about potential token liquidity.

As Trump Earns Millions From Tokens, Ethics Groups Sound Alarm on Industry Influence

Launched earlier this year, WLFI has already generated hundreds of millions of dollars in revenue for Trump’s family business. The token grants holders voting rights on network proposals and roadmap decisions, but not ownership stakes.

Earlier this month, public disclosures revealed that Trump personally received $57.35m from WLFI token sales and still holds 15.75b tokens in the venture.

The project has drawn sharp criticism from Democratic lawmakers and ethics watchdogs, who argue it raises serious concerns over conflicts of interest.

They point to the timing, as Trump has supported deregulatory measures in crypto while benefiting financially from the sector. In January, the Trump Organization said the former president’s business interests are managed through a trust overseen by his children.

Folkman said the company’s upcoming app is aimed at making digital assets more accessible to mainstream users. The platform will integrate stablecoin payments and wallet functionality. It is designed with a simple interface to encourage wider adoption.

Meanwhile, World Liberty’s rapid fundraising, fueled by token sales and strong brand visibility, has made it a significant player. This rise comes during a politically sensitive year for the crypto sector.

X402 Track Panoramic View: Launchpad Innovation, Facilitator Battles, and Provider Infrastructure

Author: Haotian I can already vaguely smell the gunpowder of the X402 racetrack: 1) The Launchpad battle is about to begin. @pingobserver is personally in charge of the c402 Market, which is full of suspense. The goal is to give the $PING token a positive flywheel effect, but this is just the prelude to the battle. The x420 Dev abandoned its somewhat cumbersome launch method and proactively embraced xEcho, which proposed the "Pay to X" innovative empowerment concept. (@agileadtodark; @memeputer) It seems that a developer has standardized multiple scenarios such as shopping, NFTs, and transactions through Agent + Pay. There are similar developers like @awenetwork_ai... In short, many differentiated launchapd will emerge, challenging the Bounding Curve again and exploring fair, fun, and practical token issuance methods. 2) The competition in the Facilitator track should not be underestimated. The $PAYAI token migration is underway, the Solana x402 hackathon is in full swing, @star_okx has also entered the x402 track with the xlayer ecosystem, and the Base ecosystem is also expanding globally with Coinbase CDP; @MetisL2 has also introduced GMPayer and integrated ZKP, TEE and other technologies to support agents to make cross-chain self-service payments, and there are many more. To reiterate, while the barrier to entry for Facilitator is not high, the battle for payment channels in Facilitator is no less intense than the early DeFi aggregator and yield farming battles, which will bring about a booming scene of multiple chains vying to enter the Facilitator market. 3) Providers, acting as the infrastructure builders of the x402 sector, are not usually very visible, but they may well become a key force driving the x402 sector forward thanks to their experience and well-developed resources. @questflow is actively promoting multi-chain x402 Facilitators and has collaborated with Mantle, Xlayer, and others for integration; $dreams once achieved a FDV exceeding 40M and was hailed by the community as the new leader. There are still many variables, and I don't think the Provider role will be the focus of hype in the near future, but confidence in the x402 track needs to be built by observing what they are doing. above. In other aspects, competition in the Scanner field is also fierce. @x402scan is iterating rapidly, and 8004scan has also become compatible with ERC8004. @yq_acc's boss has been consistently advocating for it. While the competition surrounding indexers isn't as intense, it's crucial. As I've said before, in an open x402 track without standards, a new "L2Beat" will emerge in the Scanner field. I won't go into detail about the Agent application market, but a large number of established Agents, especially those from the @virtuals_io family, are seeking a new lease on life through new payment features. However, a new batch of Utility Agents, particularly those in the GameFi and SocialFi sectors, seems to be brewing something, and we look forward to their rapid emergence, which will open up some space for Agent applications.
