  • A trademark filed for World Liberty Financial in mid-July also points to an association with DeFi. The lawyer who filed the trademark papers, Alex Golubitsky, confirmed to CoinDesk on Thursday that the trademark relates to Trump's crypto ventures and directed further inquiries to a press office associated with worldlibertyfinancial.com.

    Trump and his son Eric have been teasing World Liberty Financial as the Republican presidential candidate's latest foray into crypto. Earlier this week, Trump launched a fourth NFT collection in a bid to repeat his previous million-dollar successes selling crypto collectibles. He is also separately promising to make the U.S. the "crypto capital of the planet" if elected.

    The press office for worldlibertyfinancial.com did not respond to a request for comment.
