Cryptocurrency projects have become geopolitical bargaining chips; the Trump family is playing a big game.

According to FinanceFeeds, five Democratic U.S. Senators have called for a hearing on an alleged $500 million cryptocurrency project by the Trump family, World Liberty Financial, originating from the UAE, claiming the deal could impact national security decisions of the Trump administration. The senators cited reports that a person related to the Abu Dhabi royal family signed an agreement four days before Trump’s inauguration to acquire a 49% stake in World Liberty Financial for $500 million and prepaid $218 million to entities associated with the Trump family and the Steve Witkoff family. The senators requested government officials to clarify when they became aware of the related payments after taking an oath.
