【WSJ: Binance Executives Meet with U.S. Treasury Officials to Discuss Easing Government Regulation】 Golden Finance reports that, according to the Wall Street Journal, the enthusiasm of U.S. President Trump and his family for cryptocurrencies has made the industry one of the biggest winners in his second term. Given Trump's vast business interests, critics have raised ethical concerns. Representatives of the Trump family have discussed investing in Binance.US. This would bring the U.S. president into business with a company that has acknowledged violating anti-money laundering laws. Binance executives also met with U.S. Treasury officials to discuss easing government regulation on the company. Binance founder and major shareholder CZ recently stated that his lawyers have formally applied for a pardon. Last year, he was imprisoned for four months due to related charges. The Trump family also owns a company called World Liberty Financial, which was established in September last year. Trump's sons Donald Jr., Eric, and Barron are all involved in this venture, with the Trump family controlling about 60% of the company. Justin Sun invested $75 million in the project, further driving this momentum. In February of this year, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) requested the court to suspend a lawsuit accusing Justin Sun and his company of fraud. Trump's team is attempting to push Congress to pass two cryptocurrency bills in the coming months: one to establish initial regulations for stablecoins and another to specify which cryptocurrency products are regulated as securities by the SEC and which are regulated as commodities by the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC). The Senate is expected to vote on its version of the stablecoin bill soon. Some Democrats oppose the bill, citing Trump's potential conflicts of interest and stablecoin activities.
