📰 Ecosystem News
Trump-Backed World Liberty Financial Confirms Dollar Stablecoin Plans With BitGo
World Liberty Financial (WLFI), a DeFi protocol endorsed by former President Donald Trump, has officially unveiled plans to launch USD1, a fully reserved stablecoin backed by short-term U.S. government securities and cash equivalents. Custodied by BitGo and supported by market maker Wintermute, the token will debut on Ethereum and BNB Chain, offering institutions and sovereign investors a regulated digital dollar for cross-border transactions.
WLFI co-founder Zach Witkoff emphasized USD1’s role in merging DeFi accessibility with traditional finance credibility, distinguishing it from algorithmic or anonymous stablecoins. The project, backed by Trump allies, aims to expand its blockchain-based lending and liquidity marketplace, signaling growing political embrace of crypto innovation.
Sei Foundation Explores Buying 23andMe to Put Genetic Data on Blockchain
The Sei Foundation, backer of the Sei blockchain, is exploring a bid for bankrupt genetics firm 23andMe, aiming to migrate 15 million users’ DNA data onto its blockchain. The move—part of Sei’s push into decentralized science (DeSci)—would grant users ownership of their genomic information, enabling encrypted, user-controlled monetization.
The proposal comes as 23andMe faces bankruptcy and regulatory scrutiny, with Sei framing genomic data security as a national priority. Sei’s token (SEI) briefly rose 3% on the news, reflecting investor interest in the audacious plan to merge biotech with blockchain.
Pi Network Responds to ‘Scam’ and ‘Multi-Level Marketing’ Allegations
Pi Network has pushed back against accusations of being a scam or multi-level marketing (MLM) scheme after Bybit CEO Ben Zhou and Cyber Capital’s Justin Bons criticized the project. The mobile mining platform, which boasts over 100 million app downloads, clarified that its referral program is single-tier, rewarding only direct referrals—unlike MLM structures that profit from downstream recruitment.
Despite its February mainnet launch, Pi’s token (PI) has slumped 72% from its $2.99 peak amid skepticism. A spokesperson emphasized that mining and referrals require no financial investment, comparing the program to standard referral incentives in retail and crypto. The team also denied soliciting exchange listings, citing impersonators as the source of confusion.
WAGMI!
