What are the “Epstein Files”?
Since 2019, following the arrest and mysterious death of financier Jeffrey Epstein, the term “Epstein Files” has come to represent the collection of documents, records, and evidence related to an alleged global scheme of sex trafficking, blackmail, and manipulation of elites.
In January 2024, over 170 names were revealed in documents declassified by the U.S. justice system. The revelations caused shockwaves behind the scenes of politics, media, and the financial sector — but according to critics, the most compromising parts remain sealed.

Elon Musk enters the game
On June 5, 2025, Elon Musk exploded social media with a direct accusation:
“@realDonaldTrump is in the Epstein Files. That’s why they have never been made public.”
The statement was seen as a personal escalation in the rivalry between Musk and Trump — but it also reignited the debate about who really is in the files that the public has never seen.
Many in the Web3 community point to the Epstein case as the ultimate example of the fragility of centralized institutions:
• Files that disappear.
• Witnesses that remain silent.
• Selective judicial systems.
The question that echoes is: what if the Epstein Files had been recorded on blockchain?
With transparency, immutability, and public access, perhaps the world would be seeing the truth clearly — and not through leaks, montages, and obscure theories.
The documents reveal the use of private jets, private islands, and networks of influence to manipulate decisions, reputations, and even governments. For many, it is proof that there exists a “real metaverse” of elites — where the rules are different and justice is optional.
While the crypto world seeks to decentralize finance, data, and identity… the Epstein case shows what happens when power remains in the hands of a few, for too long.
