Trump-Branded Crypto Wallet Halted Amid Legal and Political Tensions
  • World Liberty Financial (WLFI) has issued a cease-and-desist letter to Fight Fight Fight LLC, the creator of a Bitcoin wallet associated with Donald Trump's branding, in response to the launch of the $TRUMP Wallet.

  • The letter was sent to Fight Fight Fight LLC, which had recently announced plans for a Trump-branded crypto wallet in collaboration with Magic Eden.

  • As of today, the promotional website for the wallet has been taken offline, although social media promotions for the project remain active.

  • The website TrumpWallet.com, which previously hosted a waitlist for the wallet, also went offline following the cease-and-desist notice.

  • The cease-and-desist letter was reported by Bloomberg today, but it has not been publicly released, and WLFI has not provided a formal statement regarding potential legal actions.

  • Donald Trump Jr. and Eric Trump publicly disavowed the wallet project, clarifying that WLFI and the Trump Organization were not involved, and any official announcements would come directly from WLFI.

  • In a statement on June 3, 2025, Donald Trump Jr. acted as a 'Web3 ambassador' for WLFI, indicating that the Trump Organization plans to launch their own crypto initiatives.

  • This situation highlights the tensions within the Trump brand as multiple Web3 initiatives emerge, some officially sanctioned and others not.

  • Concerns have been raised by lawmakers about the intersection of Trump’s political role and his activities in the crypto sector, fearing it could politicize legislative efforts on digital assets.

  • Critics in Congress have cited potential conflicts of interest and insider trading issues related to Trump's cryptocurrency ventures.

  • WLFI, which has backing from the Trump family, raised approximately $550 million through token sales by March 2025 and is currently under scrutiny for its USD1 stablecoin.

  • The ongoing scrutiny surrounding these developments may impede the progress of digital asset-related legislation currently being considered in Congress.
