A fund backed by Abu Dhabi, he said, would be making a $2 billion business deal using the Trump firm\u2019s digital coins.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">That transaction would be a major contribution by a foreign government to President Trump\u2019s private venture \u2014 one that stands to generate hundreds of millions of dollars for the Trump family. And it is a public and vivid illustration of <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2025\/04\/29\/us\/politics\/trump-crypto-world-liberty-financial.html\" title=\"\">the ethical conflicts swirling around Mr. Trump\u2019s crypto<\/a> firm, which has blurred the boundary between business and government.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Zach Witkoff, a founder of the Trump family crypto firm, World Liberty Financial, revealed that a so-called <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2025\/03\/25\/technology\/trump-crypto-stablecoin.html\" title=\"\">stablecoin<\/a> developed by the firm, would be used to complete the transaction between the state-backed Emirati investment firm MGX and Binance, the largest crypto exchange in the world.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Virtually every detail of Mr. Witkoff\u2019s announcement, made during a conference panel with Mr. Trump\u2019s second-eldest son, contained a conflict of interest.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-1\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">MGX\u2019s use of the World Liberty stablecoin, USD1, brings a Trump family company into business with a venture firm backed by a foreign government. The deal creates a formal link between World Liberty and Binance \u2014 a company that has been under U.S. government oversight since 2023, when it admitted to violating federal money-laundering laws.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">And the splashy announcement served as an advertisement to crypto investors worldwide about the potential for forming a partnership with a company tied to President Trump, who is listed as World Liberty\u2019s chief crypto advocate.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cWe thank MGX and Binance for their trust in us,\u201d said Mr. Witkoff, who is the son of the White House envoy to the Middle East, Steve Witkoff. \u201cIt\u2019s only the beginning.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Mr. Witkoff and Eric Trump were speaking on a panel at Token2049, a major crypto conference in the United Arab Emirates, where more than 10,000 digital currency enthusiasts have gathered for a week of networking. It was the latest stop in an international tour by Mr. Witkoff, who visited Pakistan last month with his business partners to meet the prime minister and other government officials. Eric Trump, who runs the family business, has spent the week in Dubai, where he <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2025\/04\/30\/world\/middleeast\/trump-family-qatar-dubai.html\" title=\"\">announced<\/a> plans to back a Trump-branded hotel and tower.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The president himself is set to travel to Saudi Arabia, Qatar and the U.A.E. on a state visit in two weeks.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-2\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">His son\u2019s panel with Mr. Witkoff was the most anticipated event of the Dubai conference. The auditorium, inside a luxury resort on the shore of the Persian Gulf, was packed with crypto investors from around the world, many of whom had to stand in the aisles or lean on pillows propped against the walls to watch the conversation.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cThis is just one incredible country,\u201d Mr. Witkoff said from the stage. \u201cOne of the most innovative, if not the most innovative, country on planet Earth today.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Representatives for Binance, MGX and World Liberty did not respond to requests for comment.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-3\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Once a crypto skeptic, President Trump embraced digital currencies on the campaign trail last year as the industry poured tens of millions of dollars into the 2024 election. In September, he and his sons unveiled World Liberty, which they pitched as a new kind of internet bank that would allow people to borrow and lend money using cryptocurrencies.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Since then, World Liberty has sold $550 million worth of a new cryptocurrency called $WLFI, with a large cut of the revenue earmarked for a business entity tied to the Trump family. In March, the company also <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2025\/03\/25\/technology\/trump-crypto-stablecoin.html\" title=\"\">created<\/a> a stablecoin \u2014 a type of digital currency designed to maintain a price of $1, making it convenient to use for large transactions because its value doesn\u2019t swing like a stock\u2019s.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-4\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The company\u2019s dealings have created conflicts of interest with no precedent in modern U.S. history. Some of the investors who bought $WLFI coins are foreign nationals who have been barred from supporting a president via campaign contributions or donations to the inaugural fund. And many of the firm\u2019s corporate partners have clear incentives to curry favor with the federal government as they seek to expand in the American market.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Even the roster of panelists onstage in Dubai highlighted how much the Trump family\u2019s business interests now blur with United States policy and regulation.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Sitting alongside Mr. Witkoff and Eric Trump was one of World Liberty\u2019s top investors, Justin Sun, a Chinese-born billionaire who runs the crypto platform TRON. Mr. Sun bought $75 million in $WLFI coins after the election.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">About a year earlier, the Securities and Exchange Commission sued Mr. Sun, accusing him of manipulating the price of a TRON cryptocurrency. When Mr. Trump took office, the S.E.C. asked a federal judge to pause the case while the agency negotiated a settlement, which the judge did.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cI just got to thank you for the support, Justin,\u201d Mr. Witkoff said. \u201cTRON is just an incredible technology, and we\u2019re lucky to be partners with you.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-5\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Soon Mr. Witkoff delivered the panel\u2019s big reveal.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">In March, Binance announced that MGX, an investment fund backed by the government of Abu Dhabi, would invest $2 billion in the exchange using stablecoins. But which particular stablecoin it would use to do that had not been disclosed.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The coin chosen for the transaction was World Liberty\u2019s USD1, Mr. Witkoff said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cWow,\u201d Mr. Sun responded.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Leaders of MGX and Binance have had high-stakes dealings with U.S. officials.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">MGX is led by Sheikh Tahnoon bin Zayed Al Nahyan, an Emirati royal who serves as the nation\u2019s national security adviser. In March, Sheikh Tahnoon <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.uae-embassy.org\/news\/tahnoon-bin-zayed-concludes-official-visit-washington\" title=\"\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">visited<\/a> the United States for meetings with President Trump and some of his cabinet members and advisers.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">In 2023, Binance pleaded guilty to charges that it had violated U.S. anti-money-laundering laws and allowed criminals to transact on its platform. As part of a settlement with the Justice Department and other federal agencies, the company was placed under a Treasury Department monitorship to ensure that it would comply with the law.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">In recent months, Binance\u2019s founder, Changpeng Zhao, has been seeking a pardon from the Trump administration, after he pleaded guilty to a money laundering violation and spent four months in federal prison.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-6\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The role of USD1 in Binance\u2019s deal with MGX provides major financial support to World Liberty.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Stablecoin issuers like World Liberty make money by accepting deposits from investors, giving them stablecoins in return and then investing those deposits to generate a yield that the issuer keeps.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The precise details of World Liberty\u2019s arrangement with MGX and Binance are unclear. But it appears that, with one deal, World Liberty now has $2 billion in deposits to invest. Those funds alone could generate tens of millions of dollars a year in revenue for the Trump family and its partners at World Liberty.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Ultimately, Mr. Witkoff said from the stage in Dubai, he expects the World Liberty stablecoin to grow even bigger, reaching \u201cmany billions of market cap.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Someday, he continued, visitors to the United Arab Emirates might even use the USD1 coin to pay at the Four Seasons in Abu Dhabi.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">At that, Eric Trump broke in with a correction.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cYou\u2019re not going to be walking into the Four Seasons using USD1,\u201d he said. \u201cYou\u2019re going to be walking into the Trump International Hotel and Tower.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<p><script async
