An investment company supported by the State in Abu Dhabi is expected to make an investment of $ 2 billion in crypto exchange of USD1, a stablecoin developed by World Liberty Financial – a cryptographic company closely linked to the Trump family.
The announcement was made by Zach Witkoff, co-founder of World Liberty Financial, during a cryptographic convention in Dubai, where he appeared alongside Eric Trump, according to an ABC News report.
“We are delighted to announce today that USD1 has been selected as an official Stablecoin to close the investment of MGX dollars in Binance,” said Witkoff in a shared video on X (formerly Twitter).
“We thank MGX and Binance for their confidence in us, and I think that is only the beginning.”
The $ 2 billion agreement could be a central moment for the crypto-venture sustained by Trump
This agreement could mark a major turning point for the company supported by Trump.
World Liberty Financial, who includes Donald Trump and his sons Eric and Don Jr. among his supporters, has made a meticulous exam since his launch because of the previous criticism of the former president of cryptocurrencies as “scam”.
The business model of the project remained vague, but the MGX agreement placed it at the center of one of the largest cryptographic transactions of the year.
Ethics experts have raised concerns about conflicts of potential interests posed by Trump’s financial ties with cryptocurrency while maintaining a political presence.
“The President operates the gaps in the ethical laws that allow seated presidents to preserve financial interests,” said Danielle Brian, executive director of the government’s surveillance project.
The White House has not revealed how Trump’s cryptography interests are managed.
The announcement of the USD1 occurred during a “cat by the fireside” moderated by the crypto magnate Justin Sun.
Sun, who has a history of regulatory control, has become one of the largest donors of World Liberty Financial A day before the inauguration of Trump in 2024, would have bought $ 75 million in WLFI, another token issued by the company.
A month later, a case of fraud against Sun was abandoned by the lawyers of the SEC under the Trump administration.
World Liberty Financial to integrate USD1
Witkoff also revealed that World Liberty Financial will natively integrate USD into the Blockchain Tron, founded by Sun.
He said the company expects to enter “hundreds of millions to billions of dollars” of USD1 value, which he described as “the most transparent and regulated stable in the world”, supported one by short -term treasury bills and cash equivalents.
