The token\u2019s prospectus indicates the Trump family could receive around $30 million annually from interest earned on reserves backing the stablecoin.<\/p>\n<p>A Binance spokesperson told Bloomberg the <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/binance-lists-usd1-stablecoin-with-trading-restrictions-in-eu-and-us\/\">USD1 listing<\/a> followed its \u201cstandard process,\u201d emphasizing that Zhao\u2019s pardon application is \u201ca personal one\u201d and unrelated to company activities.<\/p>\n<p>Zhao, who pleaded guilty in 2023 to anti-money-laundering violations and spent time in a California halfway house, confirmed his pardon request during a Farokh Radio podcast interview.<\/p>\n<p>World Liberty denied the allegations, calling them &#8220;factually deficient and designed to further a political agenda.&#8221; Zhao has also denied the <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/binances-changpeng-zhao-rebuffs-wsj-fixer-role-assertion-for-trump-affiliated-world-liberty-financial\/\">allegations levied<\/a> by previous reporting by the Wall Street Journal.<\/p>\n<p>Ethics experts raised concerns about potential conflicts of interest. Richard Painter, former chief ethics counsel under President George W. Bush, said, \u201cWe have never had this since the Civil War: a president whose personal financial interests conflicted with his official duties.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Trump administration maintains that the President has no conflicts, citing a trust structure overseen by Donald Trump Jr. An ethics agreement released before Trump\u2019s presidency stated he receives only general business updates.<\/p>\n<p>Bloomberg reported that crypto initiatives tied to Trump have added at least $620 million to his fortune in recent months. Two sources said Zhao met World Liberty co-founder and Trump ally Steve Witkoff at a Bitcoin conference in Abu Dhabi in December 2024, although a person close to Witkoff denied the meeting took place.<\/p>\n<p>Witkoff, now Trump\u2019s special envoy to the Middle East, plans to transfer his World Liberty Financial interests to his adult sons, according to White House counsel David Warrington.<\/p>\n<p>By mid-March, Binance and World Liberty were reportedly discussing a new stablecoin, and weeks later, World Liberty announced plans to issue a token on <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/coins\/bnb\/\">BNB Smart Chain<\/a>. Around the same time, the Wall Street Journal reported that Zhao was requesting a pardon from Trump.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Former Binance CEO Changpeng Zhao allegedly supported crypto projects tied to the Trump family while privately seeking a presidential pardon, according to a July 11 Bloomberg News report.
