The Trump family’s crypto venture has generated more wealth since the election—some $4.5 billion—than any other part of the president’s business empire.
A major reason for the success is a partnership with an under-the-radar trading platform quietly administered by Binance, the world’s largest crypto exchange, whose founder is seeking a pardon from President Trump, according to people familiar with the matter.
The online trading platform, PancakeSwap, serves as an incubator of sorts, drumming up interest among traders to use coins issued by the Trump family’s main crypto company, World Liberty Financial.
The more World Liberty’s flagship coin, USD1, is used, the greater demand to increase its circulation, and the greater the profit for World Liberty and its owners, including the Trump family.
PancakeSwap is an online marketplace for cryptocurrencies. It connects users who trade USD1 with newly created currencies such as Torch of Liberty and Eagles Landing. These patriotic-sounding coins, according to their websites, were launched this year with the main purpose of helping increase the use of USD1.
Traders, mostly writing in Chinese, gather in groups on the Telegram messaging app to talk about competing for rewards paid out to top users of USD1 and advertised by PancakeSwap.
World Liberty and PancakeSwap announced their partnership to boost USD1’s adoption in June. Crypto trading platforms often offer rewards or prizes to drum up interest in new coins, similar to the way brokerages offer free trades or casinos give first-time customers free chips.
What wasn’t disclosed at the time is that employees inside Binance created PancakeSwap, according to people familiar with the company.
His company has deepened its relationship with World Liberty at the same time Zhao has ramped up efforts to secure a pardon from Trump.

A lot of coin owners use pancake swap to convert coins.All kinds of coins. I’ve used them. They are trying to make pancake swap sound like its dark net stuff. It’s not.
One of the not-feel-good stories of the year.
There is nothing illegal about this.
But it feels “icky.”
I know that Presidential families have been making money off the office since Nixon’s brother—and probably long before that.
The launch of Trump coin was the textbook definition of a pump and dump. Sure Barron made tens of millions. But from whom did he get that money? It’s as if loyal followers of Trump wanted to “honor” him…and it simply became a donation. That’s creepy. And you just know they toasted themselves and laughed at “the poors” who gleefully handed over their cash.

It is extremely hard to get past the WSJ’s anti-Trump spin machine to get at any facts that matter.
Run it through your fave AI. I am going to do it myself.
Interesting idea.
How do you go about asking AI to clean out the spin from an article to get at hard facts?
I’d like to do that, and would appreciate knowing your technique.

I still can’t get my mind past the spin words like “scheme”.
Thanks, though.
It’s much safer for criminals, terrorists and sanction invaders to run their ill-gotten money thru HSBC and Bank of America. These are government protected and approved.
You probably bought Trump coin at $80 didn’t ya? It’s like buying a souvenir program at a Suerbowl.
No. I didn’t. I don’t gamble. Nice try tho. Finish up your Marx and Engels books.
Not even a smidge of a sense of humor.
