Episode notes
Trump's Crypto Power Play
- Trump and his family are expanding business interests deeply into cryptocurrency, profiting significantly while influencing deregulation.
- Regulatory enforcement actions against crypto companies are being dropped, creating vast opportunities for corruption and profit.
Regulatory Favor Benefits Crypto Giants
- Several major crypto companies like Ripple, Coinbase, Binance, and Crypto.com benefit from regulatory leniency with enforcement cases dismissed or stayed.
- This leniency increases the value of Trump's crypto ventures by fostering a lax environment for these companies.
Direct Business Deals with Crypto Firms
- The Trump-associated World Liberty Financial Project owns a stable coin and negotiates with Binance to list it while Binance sheds compliance monitors.
- Crypto.com also partnered with Trump Media Group, shortly before the SEC dropped investigations against them.
