										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span data-c>A new report in the crypto market has turned attention to <strong>Binance and the Trump-linked USD1</strong> stablecoin. <strong>Bloomberg’s</strong> latest article claims that Binance wrote the code for the Trump-connected USD1 stablecoin. According to the report, the exchange not only provided technical support but also managed the process, controlled the coin’s value, and generated income for the Trump family. These allegations mark a new era of political influence debates in the crypto world.</span><span data-ccp-props="{}"> </span></p>
<p><span data-c>Although the information in the report has not been directly confirmed by primary sources, it is based on three anonymous insiders. Binance’s founder <strong>Changpeng Zhao (CZ)</strong> strongly denied the accusations and announced he is considering a defamation lawsuit. However, his statement did not directly refute any of the technical details mentioned in the report.</span><span data-ccp-props="{}"> </span></p>
<h2><span data-c>How Deep is the Connection Between Binance and USD1?</span><span data-ccp-props="{}"> </span></h2>
<p><span data-c>There is no documented concrete partnership between Binance and Trump yet. However, the report emphasizes that their link is not superficial. For example, USD1 quickly reached a <strong>$2 billion market cap</strong>, while its circulating supply remained extremely limited. This suggests that the majority of the stablecoin is controlled by specific actors.</span><span data-ccp-props="{}"> </span></p>
<p><span data-c>Analysis in <strong>Bloomberg’s article</strong> claims that a significant portion of this supply is still held by Binance, and market manipulation occurs through buying and selling activities. Moreover, the process reportedly provides steady income to the <strong>Trump family</strong>, creating a financial interest. Binance founder Changpeng “CZ” Zhao reacted to the news here:</span><span data-ccp-props="{}"> </span></p>
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="550" data-dnt="true">
<p lang="en" dir="ltr">4. FUD. Bloomberg just wrote another hit piece (sponsored by a competitor) containing so many factual errors I don&#39;t even know where to begin.</p>
<p>Might have to sue them again for defamation. <a href="https://t.co/FevGMArHj8">https://t.co/FevGMArHj8</a></p>
<p>&mdash; CZ <img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/17.0.2/72x72/1f536.png" alt="🔶" class="wp-smiley"  /> BNB (@cz_binance) <a href="https://twitter.com/cz_binance/status/1943705285098365065?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">July 11, 2025</a></p></blockquote>
<p></p>
<p><span data-c>The listing of <strong>USD1 on Binance</strong> attracted more attention with other <a href="https://coinengineer.net/blog/binance-to-list-this-trump-linked-altcoin/"><strong>Trump-linked</strong></a> crypto assets also moving to the platform. Additionally, a $32.8 million transfer of Trump’s memecoins directly to Binance further strengthened this connection.</span><span data-ccp-props="{}"> </span></p>
<h2><span data-c>Allegations Continue, Parties Remain Silent</span><span data-ccp-props="{}"> </span></h2>
<p><span data-c><strong>Trump’s White House</strong> representatives declined to comment on the news. Officials from <a href="https://coinengineer.net/blog/world-liberty-financial-prepares-to-make-wlfi-token-tradeable/"><strong>World Liberty Financial</strong></a> described the report as an “attempt to create political agenda.” CZ’s statements mostly contained personal criticisms directed at the reporters. A Binance spokesperson reminded that CZ no longer holds an official role in the company but did not provide data that would directly disprove the allegations.</span><span data-ccp-props="{}"> </span></p>
<p><span data-c>It is worth recalling that CZ was previously convicted on money laundering charges and later applied for a presidential pardon. At that time, his denials were later confirmed to be false. Therefore, public trust remains low.</span><span data-ccp-props="{}"> </span></p>
<p><span data-c>In the end, only a court process can clarify whether the allegations are true or not. If <strong>Binance</strong> indeed wrote the code for <strong>USD1</strong> and financially benefited the Trump family during this process, it will raise both ethical and legal controversies.</span><span data-ccp-props="{}"> </span></p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span data-c>Donald Trump’s memecoin, <strong>TRUMP</strong>, is shifting its journey from the Solana network to <strong>Tron</strong>. The project team announced that the token will now be integrated into the Tron (TRX) blockchain as well. This development stands out as a major step in the crypto world. The <strong>Trump Team</strong> shared an official statement on X, saying: “<strong>TRUMP <a href="https://coinengineer.net/blog/trump-token-whales-invest-7-5m-before-exclusive-dinner/">Token</a> is coming to the TRON network</strong>. Stay tuned!”</span><span data-ccp-props="{}"> </span></p>
<h2><span data-c>TRUMP Token’s Expansion to Tron and Its Importance</span><span data-ccp-props="{}"> </span></h2>
<p><span data-c><strong>TRUMP token</strong> launched in January on the <strong>Solana network</strong> with a <strong>1 billion supply</strong>. Now, by migrating to Tron, the project aims to boost both trading volume and accessibility. <strong><a href="https://coinengineer.net/blog/tether-mints-2b-usdt-on-tron-supply-tops-80b/">Tron</a> founder Justin Sun</strong> supported the announcement and reiterated his public endorsement of Trump. As one of the token’s most notable backers, Sun’s involvement is seen as crucial for wider adoption and reduced transaction costs.</span><span data-ccp-props="{}"> </span></p>
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="550" data-dnt="true">
<p lang="en" dir="ltr"><a href="https://twitter.com/search?q=%24TRUMP&amp;src=ctag&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">$TRUMP</a> on <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/TRON?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#TRON</a> is coming. Stay tuned! <a href="https://t.co/S5WfV8APvU">pic.twitter.com/S5WfV8APvU</a></p>
<p>&mdash; TrumpMeme (@GetTrumpMemes) <a href="https://twitter.com/GetTrumpMemes/status/1942196698119369063?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">July 7, 2025</a></p></blockquote>
<p></p>
<p><span data-c>Tron offers low transaction fees and fast transfers, which could significantly improve user experience. Moreover, with <strong>LayerZero’s cross-chain</strong> infrastructure, the token can easily be transferred across different <strong>blockchains</strong>. This increases its potential to spark renewed interest within the crypto community.</span><span data-ccp-props="{}"> </span></p>
<h2><span data-c>Trump &amp; Justin Sun Alliance: Political and Technological Impacts</span><span data-ccp-props="{}"> </span></h2>
<p><span data-c><strong>Justin Sun</strong> describes Trump’s engagement with the crypto industry as a “turning point.” The partnership between Trump and Sun became clear during a private dinner in May for <strong>TRUMP holders</strong> at Mar-a-Lago. Key figures like <strong>Magic Eden CEO Jack Lu and BitMart CEO Sheldon Xia</strong> were also present at the event. It was also revealed afterward that Sun is the largest individual holder of the TRUMP token.</span><span data-ccp-props="{}"> </span></p>
<p><span data-c>This move demonstrates that <strong>TRUMP token</strong> is evolving beyond its memecoin roots to become a political and technological instrument. Justin Sun continues his efforts to enhance Trump’s influence in the crypto sector.</span><span data-ccp-props="{}"> </span></p>
<p><span data-c>Now transitioning from Solana to Tron, the TRUMP token enters a new growth phase. This move underlines the importance of <strong>cross-chain</strong> integrations in today’s crypto landscape.</span><span data-ccp-props="{}"> </span></p>

Initial rumors of a $3 billion raise were denied, but later the company confirmed a <strong data-start="3546" data-end="3576">$2.5 billion funding round</strong>, including a <strong data-start="3590" data-end="3624">$2.3 billion private placement</strong> dedicated to acquiring <strong data-start="3648" data-end="3659">Bitcoin</strong>.</p>
<h2 data-start="3662" data-end="3702">SEC Greenlight and ETF Ambitions</h2>
<p data-start="3704" data-end="3981">The <strong data-start="3708" data-end="3757">U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC)</strong>, under the leadership of <strong data-start="3783" data-end="3814">Trump-appointed Paul Atkins</strong>, approved the registration for the <strong data-start="3850" data-end="3861">Bitcoin</strong> investment. The funds came from the resale of <strong data-start="3908" data-end="3951">56 million shares and 29 million shares</strong> related to convertible notes.</p>

<p data-start="4574" data-end="4814">On the same day, <strong data-start="4591" data-end="4614">Senator Adam Schiff</strong> introduced legislation that would ban the President and his family from <strong data-start="4687" data-end="4729">promoting or sponsoring digital assets</strong> — a move that could legally challenge <strong data-start="4768" data-end="4783">Trump Media</strong>&#8216;s Bitcoin-focused initiatives.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p data-start="3232" data-end="3535">In a world where digital innovation defines value, Australian Senator <strong data-start="3302" data-end="3320">Gerard Rennick</strong> stirred controversy by saying, “You can’t eat Bitcoin.” His comment, posted on May 23, came shortly after <strong data-start="3427" data-end="3438">Bitcoin</strong> hit an all-time high of <strong data-start="3463" data-end="3475">$111,970</strong>, prompting swift backlash from the global crypto community.</p>
<p data-start="3537" data-end="3846">Rennick didn’t stop there—he also labeled <strong data-start="3579" data-end="3590">Bitcoin</strong> as a <strong data-start="3596" data-end="3612">Ponzi scheme</strong>, claiming its price will reach <strong data-start="3644" data-end="3658">$1 million</strong> solely because institutions like BlackRock will continue pumping money into a supply-limited asset. “What exactly does it produce?” Rennick asked, answering himself: <em>“Absolutely nothing.”</em></p>
<h2 data-start="3848" data-end="3913">Bitcoiners Fire Back: ‘You Can’t Eat the Internet Either’</h2>
<p data-start="3915" data-end="4194">Bitcoin advocates didn’t remain silent. Journalist <strong data-start="3966" data-end="3980">Laura Shin</strong> responded, <em>“You also can’t eat the internet, so do you oppose that too?”</em> while <strong data-start="4060" data-end="4080">Bitcoin Marathon</strong>’s Jimmy Kostro added, <em>“This will age well,”</em> highlighting how outdated and shortsighted Rennick’s comments seemed.</p>

<p data-start="4196" data-end="4458"><strong><em>You Might Be Interested In: <a href="https://coinengineer.net/blog/elon-musk-talks-about-the-name-of-a-new-memecoin/">Elon Musk Talks About the Name of a New Memecoin!</a></em></strong></p>
<hr />
<p data-start="4196" data-end="4458">The <strong data-start="4200" data-end="4243">Australian Bitcoin Industry Body (ABIB)</strong> also issued a formal statement, calling the Senator’s remarks a “deep misunderstanding” of digital assets. <em>“Misunderstanding leads to misrepresentation. And misrepresentation leads to bad policy,”</em> the group warned.</p>
<p data-start="4460" data-end="4643">Rennick, however, dismissed the criticism, stating, “It’s pathetic how the Bitcoin community needs reassurance from a politician—the very people they claim they want to be free from.”</p>
<h2 data-start="4645" data-end="4698">Political Attacks on Bitcoin Becoming a Trend</h2>
<p data-start="4700" data-end="5060">This isn’t an isolated incident. Just weeks ago, Arizona Governor <strong data-start="4766" data-end="4781">Katie Hobbs</strong> vetoed a bill that would have allowed the state to hold <strong data-start="4838" data-end="4849">Bitcoin</strong> in its official reserves, triggering similar outcry. Prominent figures like <strong data-start="4926" data-end="4947">Anthony Pompliano</strong> criticized the decision, asking, <em>“Imagine the ignorance of a politician who thinks they can manage investments.”</em></p>
<p data-start="5062" data-end="5272">As crypto adoption grows globally, so too does the friction between decentralized innovation and traditional political frameworks. And the <strong data-start="5201" data-end="5212">Bitcoin</strong> community appears ready to push back every step of the way.</p>
