Trump picks the first ever bitcoiner on a presidential ticket who holds bitcoin!

[Abiky]

Quite a slow week for anything related to bitcoin. It has stayed below the highs of $119k were it was before the massive dump of over a billion worth by a single whale selling off causing it to sink to where we are now. Around the $112k to $113k range without any change in the past 48 hours.

Only thing worth mentioning is Trump's Wealth Liberty Financial has announced a partnership with Crypto.com on Tuesday.

I guess big investors are manipulating prices to buy more Bitcoin at a discount. I mean, who doesn't? Good news not only for Trump himself, but the rest of the crypto community. And now that the FED is considering lowering rates, things will be even better. A weaker USD = higher market prices for risky assets in the long run.

Now that you've mentioned Trump's "World Liberty Financial" project, I've read online that one of Trump's companies wants to file an application with the SEC to launch spot ETFs. Totally bullish, imo. This partnership with Crypto.com should be "music to our ears". What's next? A partnership with Binance? One can only hope. We'll see what's next in store for crypto during the remainder of Trump's second term. I don't think there will be another President of the US as bullish as Donald Trump in the history of crypto.

WLFI trading opened on Tuesday hovering around 23 cents
According to public disclosures report "certain family members of Donald J. Trump [hold] 22.5 billion $WLFI tokens."
Thats about 5 BILLION $ in WLFI if the 23 cent value holds

World Liberty Financial said that these tokens were locked and can't be sold pending a vesting schedule TBD

Yesterday the value peaked at about 40 cents

Looks like it will be stable around 20-25 cents

The post above yours actually explains a little about how their family's back token had Binance being the first to list it on their exchange.
So you just know there are some secret connections going on there.

Found this post on X all about the project and how Justin Sun was a major investor of the WLFI token back in November 2024 and has already 10x his millions of buying it up during the presale:

Yesterday World Liberty Financial blacklisted Justin Sun's blockchain address with 595 million unlocked WLFI tokens on it

https://www.coindesk.com/tech/2025/09/04/world-liberty-financial-blacklists-justin-sun-s-address-with-usd107m-wlfi

Its not said why they were blocked, but sun has publicly claimed his outgoing transactions were not for selling or trading so they could not have any impact on market prices

This Sun is always around whenever there are major controversy in the cryptocurrency space.

https://www.theblock.co/post/369534/world-liberty-blacklists-justin-sun-wallet-after-tron-founder-moves-9-million-in-wlfi-tokens

Of course he claims his innocence immediately but there was some damning evidence later revealed he was using those customers investments to make a profit by the exchanges APR interest for holding them then treating them as his own.

He was involved in China based exchange Huobi several years ago before the rebrand into HTX.

With Satoshi Nakamoto's statue getting stolen a couple of months ago, Trump put up his own rendition of himself holding a physical bitcoin in front of the US Capitol building:

With all the issues with World Liberty Finance in the past month since it's public release, the news came out today they will be buying back tokens from the backlash came with Justin Sun holding so much of the liquidity and burning them.

The value has plunged 58% since the beginning of the month about two weeks after the launch to the public:

Heard that the U.S government will be shutting down for the next few days and saw something on X from whale news account so it must already be verified from several sources.
It must of been announced in a late night congressional meeting.
As soon this news hit BTC price surged towards the $16,200 mark from $14,500 when this was not announced yet yesterday evening.

BTC reached another ATH of $124,000 this week as stock market has also surged

JPMorgan’s CEO Jamie Dimon has said that there is a chance of Trump doing the 2000$ covid style stimulus check tariff dividend and this could trigger a bitcoin price, crypto and stock market surge; while also having some fears of a US dollar collapse

Think the ATH was set to over $126k, briefly earlier this week but suddenly crashed down to mid-$121k again.
If Trump does decide to issue every eligible citizen a stimulus check, I can see the top coming since the last time his administration gave them out alot of bitcoin was bought with those checks. Causing an increase in it's price around that same period.

Gold has also had it's price hit an ATH over $4000 this week. And even for countries that have been strict with bitcoin, have put up ads with comparing how much bitcoin one can purchase with gold in their newspapers.

The markets are very volatile since the end of last week. It seems be stabilizing now and hovering around 110k-112k today, the start of the work week in North America and the stock markets opening again after all that turmoil on Friday happening causing such a plunge in all of the cryptocurrencies markets.

But just now found out that AWS (amazon web services) had an outage causing exchanges such as Coinbase who use their services to go offline for many of their customers in different regions.
This can also add to the panic and the sell-offs of cryptocurrencies including bitcoin due to this uncertainty.

Couple days ago TRUMP confirmed a crypto summit on october 31 with Xi Jinping

“[Xi Jinping] is a very strong leader, a very amazing man. You can look at what he's done, where he is in his life. It is an amazing story. It's a story for a great movie. I think we're gonna be fine with China, but we have to have a fair deal. It's going to be fair.”

Today was the day that could of caused bitcoin's price to surge abit after the news was released officially:

Wasn't his sentence for four years because I remember the memes when Zhao flashed those gang signs on his twitter before his conviction in 2023.

There was an interview with Trump featured on 60 minutes that aired yesterday evening.
The president said he doesn't know who CZ (Changpeng Zhao) and the interviewer asked him several times.
She told him he was the former cryptocurrency exchange ceo that he had pardoned just a few weeks ago.
This was kind of a shock to hear since CZ had help his Liberty Financial group to gain profits in the millions these past few months.
