Key Points

• US House committee probes World Liberty Financial’s foreign-linked deal and USD1 stablecoin usage.
• Lawmakers raise ethics, transparency, and national security concerns affecting crypto legislation.

World Liberty Financial, a crypto venture associated with the Trump family, is under investigation by a US House committee over a reported $500 million deal tied to Abu Dhabi.

The inquiry also examines the company’s dollar-pegged USD1 stablecoin and a reported foreign acquisition of nearly half of the venture.

House Inquiry into Foreign Dealings

Representative Ro Khanna of the House Select Committee sent a formal request seeking records related to World Liberty Financial’s reported agreement with a United Arab Emirates–linked entity.

The request asks for documentation on payments, communications, and ownership structures, citing potential conflicts of interest and national security considerations.

Lawmakers are also reviewing the alleged use of the USD1 stablecoin in a multibillion-dollar transaction involving Binance，following media reports of undisclosed agreements。

Additional questions focus on whether portions of the foreign investment were directed to businesses connected to members of the Trump family or company affiliates.

President Donald Trump publicly stated that he was not aware of the specific transaction, noting that his family members manage the crypto-related activities.

Impact on Crypto Ethics Legislation

The reported deal has intensified Democratic efforts to include stricter ethics provisions in pending crypto market structure legislation.

Some lawmakers argue that the situation underscores the need for clearer rules governing political affiliations, foreign investment, and digital asset ventures.

Bipartisan negotiations on the bill are continuing, even as scrutiny of high-profile crypto deals introduces additional political pressure.
