Following President Donald Trump\u2019s pardon of Changpeng Zhao (CZ)<\/a>, the co-founder and former CEO of Binance, criticism has surged among Democratic lawmakers.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Allegations of political paybacks have emerged, particularly in light of Binance.US\u2019s recent listing of USD1, a stablecoin linked to Trump\u2019s family and part of the DeFi platform World Liberty Financial (WLFI).<\/p>\n

Binance\u2019s Alleged Role In Trump Family\u2019s Crypto Profit<\/h2>\n

Senator Chris Murphy recently took to social media to express his concerns, stating<\/a>, \u201cOne week after Trump pardoned Binance\u2019s owner for a stunning array of crimes related to terrorist and sex predator financing, Binance starts promoting Trump crypto. The White House is a full-time, 24\/7 corruption machine.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

In response to these allegations, Binance.US issued a statement <\/a>addressing Murphy\u2019s comments. The exchange emphasized that it conducts thorough due diligence and legal reviews before listing any asset, whether it be a stablecoin or a new project.\u00a0<\/p>\n

They clarified that both USD1 and WLFI are already listed on over 20 major exchanges, including US platforms like Coinbase (COIN), Robinhood (HOOD), and Kraken.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Binance.US reiterated that the decision to list these assets was purely a business one, devoid of any political motivations<\/a>. \u201cIt\u2019s unfortunate that even routine business decisions are now unfairly politicized by our elected officials,\u201d the statement noted.<\/p>\n

Amid these developments, reports have surfaced suggesting that Binance may have had political ties with Trump, allegedly assisting the Trump family\u2019s cryptocurrency venture in generating significant profits shortly before the pardon was granted.\u00a0<\/p>\n

World Liberty Denies Involvement In Pardon Discussions<\/h2>\n

According <\/a>to the Independent, Binance purportedly helped World Liberty Financial make billions and even created a \u201chigh-level task force\u201d to negotiate a deal with the Trump-affiliated venture.<\/p>\n

World Liberty has denied any discussions regarding a pardon, with its lawyer, Tom Clare, stating that the company \u201chas never assisted in, facilitated, or influenced a decision on Mr. Zhao\u2019s presidential pardon.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

The company did express support for Zhao\u2019s pardon, with spokeswoman Gail Gitcho mentioning, \u201cEveryone who has been a victim of Joe Biden\u2019s lawfare has rightfully been pardoned.\u201d<\/p>\n

Wayne F. Dennison, a lawyer for Binance, asserted that there was \u201cno impropriety\u201d involved and clarified that the company \u201cdid not control the stablecoin <\/a>chosen by MGX.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

Last week, Trump remarked that the pardon was granted \u201cat the request of a lot of very good people,\u201d although the optics of the decision raised concerns among some within his administration.<\/p>\n

White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt also addressed the situation, stating that neither Trump nor his family has ever engaged in, or will ever engage in, conflicts of interest.<\/p>\n
