WASHINGTON, D.C. — In March 2025, the Trump family’s cryptocurrency venture World Liberty Financial Inc. (WLFI) announced that it had sold a total of $550 million in crypto tokens through two rounds of sales, with as much as 75% of net revenue going to the Trump family. WLFl is just one of many of the Trump family’s sprawling, unprecedented crypto ventures that have raised red flags with ethics experts over their potential for facilitating corruption, foreign influence, and special favors for corporate and bad actors. New findings from government watchdog Accountable.US detail how WLFl likely may have become a go-to vehicle for foreign nationals to funnel money to Donald Trump and his family.

Accountable.US’ analysis of WLFI’s top 50 holders, first reported by Bloomberg, shows that at least 14 of them, who together hold over 6.7 billion tokens valued at about $335 million, have used crypto platforms that are restricted against U.S. users—strongly suggesting these entities are either not U.S.-based or they are trying to circumvent U.S. crypto restrictions. Restricted platforms being used by some WLFI holders include Binance, OKX, Bybit, Gate.io, BingX, and Ox.Fun. Using this opaque crypto market means the American public is in the dark on who these likely foreign buyers are or what they may be getting in exchange for those payments. The President could be offering buyers tailormade government policy or get-of-out-jail free cards in exchange for WLFI token bulk purchases, like he allegedly gave Chinese crypto magnate Justin Sun who suddenly saw an SEC prosecution for fraud paused after he announced that he had become WLF’s largest investor. 

Accountable.US Executive Director Tony Carrk: “With strong evidence suggesting that many top investors in this Trump family crypto venture are foreign nationals, Congress should demand the President disclose who’s paying him tribute in the shadows to assess whether the public interest is being compromised. If the President is taking money from foreign sources, including those soliciting special favors, American working people could easily get the short end of the stick. Donald Trump has spent his first 100 days in office gutting oversight and profiting from the president’s office, all while inviting corruption from anywhere in the world. American families continue watching prices go up and their job and health security slip away while waiting for the President to focus on something other than his own interests.”
