Former Prez Trump and his sons have been hyping a crypto project dubbed “World Liberty Financial.” Official details are light, but it’s reportedly a decentralized finance project that gives 70% of its tokens to insiders. The unveiling’s been bumpy: last week hackers were said to have used the X accounts of Lara and Tiffany Trump to post scam links touting WLF. And now the project may already be backfiring: crypto-industry insiders are calling WLF a cash grab and warning it could burn any goodwill Trump’s built with the #Crypto  constituency.

Crypto insiders and Democratic lawmakers gathered last week to boost the industry and the campaign of VP Kamala Harris. The “Crypto4Harris” town hall scrambled the narrative that the crypto constituency (think: HODLers, VCs, developers) is united in its support of former Prez Trump, who’s embraced bitcoin. Harris may be open to the overtures: her campaign brought on an ex-Binance adviser and a former Ripple board member. And at the town hall, Democratic Sen. Chuck Schumer said pro-crypto legislation could be signed into law this year.
