Trump-Linked WLFI Token Jumps 10% Amid Controversial Binance Founder Pardon
Posted On October 24, 2025
World Liberty Financial (CRYPTO: WLFI) extended gains with a 10% rally after U.S. President Donald Trump pardoned Binance founder Changpeng Zhao, a move that reignited debate over the administration’s deepening links with the cryptocurrency industry.
Trump pardon casts spotlight on CZ
Zhao, widely known as “CZ,” had served a four-month prison sentence after pleading guilty to money laundering violations under U.S. law.
Binance itself agreed to a $4.3 billion settlement with regulators.
The White House defended the pardon as correcting what it called an “overreach” by the Biden administration, while Trump’s team characterized the case as part of a broader “war on cryptocurrency.”
