正在竞选 11 月美国大选共和党候选人的前总统唐纳德·特朗普透露，他计划于周一正式宣布成立一家新的加密货币公司。该项目的某些细节已在提案草案中泄露。9月17日早上8点特朗普加密项目WLFI的直播已开始，特朗普开始发表讲话。

距离美国总统大选仅剩一个半月，唐纳德·特朗普的日程安排得满满的——集会、辩论、竞选演讲，在全国各地奔走竞选。上周末，他在佛罗里达州西棕榈滩的高尔夫俱乐部成为了目标，联邦调查局称这是一起暗杀未遂事件。尽管如此，这位前总统和共和党候选人还是在周一晚些时候抽出时间推出了一家新的加密货币公司：World Liberty Financial。

晚上 8 点，特朗普将在 X（以前的 Twitter）上直播区块链应用程序的具体细节，他和他的儿子在 11 月总统大选前几个月一直在宣传这个应用程序。

项目

该项目已经引发争议。黑客最近入侵了特朗普家族成员的 X 账户，宣传与加密货币公司的虚假链接。虽然真正的应用程序尚未正式推出，但该项目领导团队的泄露细节——以及它与另一个最近被黑客入侵的加密货币应用程序的关系——已经引发了前总统在加密货币世界中的一些支持者的担忧。

本月初，CoinDesk 获得了该项目的一份机密草案，概述了旨在让大众享受去中心化金融 (DeFi) 的应用程序计划。去中心化金融是指基于区块链的工具，允许用户直接交易、借入、借出和投资资产，而无需传统中间人。在 2019 年嘲笑比特币“凭空而来”之后，特朗普明确表示接受这项技术，并在最近几个月加大了对加密货币的支持力度，尤其是随着区块链行业成为选举周期最大的企业筹款活动之一。今年 7 月，他在纳什维尔比特币会议上发表演讲，概述了有利的加密货币政策，数千名与会者多次起立鼓掌和欢呼。CoinDesk 获得的白皮书将 World Liberty Financial 宣传为“将金融权力重新交到人民手中”的一种方式，以应对“被操纵的”金融体系。

参与者

World Liberty Financial 的团队由特朗普家族成员（18 岁的 Barron 被列为首席“DeFi 远见者”）、传统金融人士和区块链行业领袖组成。白皮书称，老特朗普在该项目中的头衔将是“首席加密货币倡导者”。

负责该项目的两人——扎克·福克曼 (Zak Folkman) 和蔡斯·赫罗 (Chase Herro)——在加密货币世界并不出名。CoinDesk此前报道称，这两人负责开发 Dough Finance，这是一款 DeFi 产品，但未能获得关注，并于今年夏天遭到黑客攻击，损失了 200 万美元。World Liberty Financial 白皮书中概述的宣传与 Dough 非常相似。这两个平台都设计为用户友好的界面，用于访问流行的基于以太坊的借贷市场 Aave，而特朗普支持的加密应用程序的一些早期代码似乎直接取自 Herro 和 Folkman 的旧项目。除了加密货币之外，Folkman 和 Herro 还是 Subify 的创始人，Subify 是一个类似于 OnlyFans 的免审查订阅平台，因与网红 Logan Paul 的合作而闻名。福克曼为 World Liberty Financial 注册了有限责任公司，他过去常常举办研讨会，指导男性如何泡妞。根据彭博社上周发布的一份报告，赫罗自诩为“互联网上的混蛋”，并宣传失败的加密货币、结肠清洁和快速致富课程。

特朗普加密代币

加密项目经常发行治理代币，以“去中心化”其产品并规避严格的证券监管。World Liberty 尚未正式公布其加密货币计划，但 CoinDesk 审查的白皮书表明，该项目最终将出售一种名为 WLFI 的治理代币。根据该文件，基于以太坊的 WLFI 代币将不可转让，这意味着它无法在区块链上交易，但持有者可以使用它来对 World Liberty 发展路线图的变更进行投票。异常多的 70% 的 WLFI 代币显然已被预留给 World Liberty 团队和开发人员。其余的将向公众出售，此次出售的收益也将留给 World Liberty 内部人员。虽然加密项目通常会保留一部分代币来补偿创始人、投资者和开发者，但这些群体很少能获得超过总供应量的 20% 或 30%。WLFI 分配给内部人员的代币比同行项目多得多，而且在当今的加密行业中，代币预售相对少见，因为它们往往会面临法律和实际障碍。

社区反应

特朗普将自己塑造为今年总统竞选中加密货币的唯一支持者，他的加密货币冒险使用反建制言论，可能会引起单一问题加密货币选民和 MAGA 民粹主义者的共鸣。（共和党总统候选人特朗普和他的民主党对手副总统卡马拉·哈里斯在上周的电视辩论中都没有提到加密货币。）虽然目前还不清楚世界自由金融最终将与其白皮书有多相似，但特朗普在加密行业的一些支持者担心整个计划可能会适得其反。

在 CoinDesk 发布有关世界自由金融白皮书的初步报告后，著名加密行业人士、特朗普支持者尼克·卡特 (Nic Carter)在 X (前身为推特) 上问道：“作为加密推特，我们能做些什么来阻止世界自由币的发行？”

项目

尽管特朗普家族似乎深度涉足世界自由金融，唐纳德·特朗普也将于周一晚间正式公布该项目，但该项目的白皮书声称，该平台与政治没有任何关联，并指出：“世界自由金融不由唐纳德·J·特朗普、特朗普集团或他们各自的任何家庭成员、附属公司或负责人拥有、管理、运营或出售。”它补充道：“然而，他们可能拥有 $WLFI 并从 World Liberty Financial 及其开发商那里获得报酬。World Liberty Financial 和 $WLFI 不涉及政治，与任何政治运动都没有任何关联。”

Eric Trump Sets A “Beyond Catastrophic” Bar To Sell Bitcoin — How Far Are We From That?

Eric Trump, Chief Strategy Officer of American Bitcoin Corp., has declared that the company would only sell its Bitcoin holdings under circumstances he describes as "beyond catastrophic." In an interview, he framed this as a strategic commitment to permanent accumulation, driven by the goal of increasing "satoshis per share" and competing in both the race for the largest Bitcoin holdings and the lowest acquisition cost. The company mines its Bitcoin at a claimed 53% below spot price and retains all coins, drawing a distinction from Michael Saylor's MicroStrategy, which has signaled some flexibility. Trump's stance sets a new benchmark for long-term commitment in the Bitcoin treasury sector. As of the report, Bitcoin trades near $82,000, with American Bitcoin's treasury holding over 7,000 BTC.

DeFi Has Reached Its Most Dangerous Moment: The Real Vulnerabilities Are Not in the Code

DeFi in Peril: The Real Vulnerability Isn't in the Code April 2026 marked a paradigm shift in DeFi security, with over $625 million lost across 30 incidents—the worst month in crypto history by event count. Crucially, none of the major exploits (Drift Protocol: $285M, KelpDAO: $292M, Wasabi Protocol: $4.5M) resulted from smart contract vulnerabilities. Instead, failures occurred in the operational "plumbing": social engineering to compromise multi-signature councils, a single-point-of-failure 1-of-1 bridge validator, and stolen admin private keys. These events expose a fundamental misalignment: the industry's security model has long focused on code audits, while the actual attack surface has shifted to privileged access points and off-chain infrastructure. The article introduces the term "OpenFi" to describe this reality: permissionless, on-chain, yet operationally dependent on trusted third parties (admins, validators, oracles) at key junctures. The KelpDAO exploit vividly demonstrated asymmetric "contagion risk." A configuration error in a smaller protocol triggered a panic, causing approximately $13.2 billion in outflows from larger, unaffected protocols like Aave within 48 hours, as users fled uncertain collateral. The core dilemma is the double-edged sword of centralization. Operational levers like emergency councils (e.g., Arbitrum freezing stolen funds post-KelpDAO) enable crisis response but also create catastrophic attack surfaces if compromised (e.g., Drift). The path forward demands radical honesty: protocols must clearly disclose their trust assumptions, operational levers, and failure modes. The industry must treat operational security (key management, configurations, incident response) with the same rigor as code security. Survival depends on building systems whose risks can be understood, priced, and insured, moving beyond the outdated "code is law" mantra to a mature model of disclosed and managed trust.

Vitalik's Article Emphasizes Ethereum Must Be 'Amazing', But Foundation Is Not the Center

Vitalik Buterin has published a lengthy response to recent community criticism directed at the Ethereum Foundation (EF). Acknowledging a sense of "unease," he addresses concerns about the EF's strategic direction, its perceived disconnect from ETH's price performance, and calls for its reduced central role. Vitalik rejects the notion that the EF should be the central governing body of Ethereum, framing it instead as one "node with a clear mandate" among many within the ecosystem. He highlights the EF's limited ETH holdings (≈0.16% of supply) compared to other blockchain foundations and states it will no longer sell significant amounts of ETH. Its future focus will be on long-term, critical projects that align with Ethereum's core values of censorship-resistance and decentralization, which might not otherwise happen. A core argument is that Ethereum must be "amazing," but not by merely chasing higher transaction speeds at the cost of decentralization. He proposes focusing on the "CROPS" dimensions: creating a Cryptographically provable, Reliable, Open, Private, and Secure network. This includes pursuing goals like a formally verifiable, bug-free Ethereum client and minimizing protocol-level reliance on intermediaries. The article concludes by noting that while Vitalik clarifies the EF's refocused role, he does not directly address community suggestions for creating a new organization explicitly aligned with ETH's economic interests. This "alignment gap" is presented as a key challenge for Ethereum's future.

Galxe: How a Quest Platform Evolved into Web3's Growth Infrastructure

Galxe, once perceived as a simple Web3 quest platform, has evolved into a core growth infrastructure within the Web3 ecosystem. It addresses a fundamental Web3 growth dilemma: the lack of a mature, systematic user acquisition and retention system akin to Web2's advertising and analytics platforms. While users complete quests (social tasks, on-chain interactions) for rewards, Galxe's true innovation lies in transforming these fragmented, one-off actions into lasting, verifiable identity credentials. This process of *behavioral assetization* creates a persistent record of a user's activities across projects and chains. For users, their wallet accumulates a valuable history that can unlock future access and rewards, fostering a "profile-building" mentality. For projects, Galxe provides a pre-screened user pool with rich behavioral data, enabling targeted outreach to users based on their specific on-chain history and community engagement. Galxe employs a gamefied growth path, guiding users from low-friction social tasks into deeper, valuable on-chain interactions through a structured progression of quests. This solves the incentive-behavior mismatch common in Web3, filtering users by their willingness to engage. Beyond quests, products like Passport (identity verification) and Starboard (community analytics) position Galxe as a comprehensive growth operating system. The platform's defensible advantage is its self-reinforcing data and network flywheel: more projects attract more users, enriching behavioral data; richer data enables better user targeting, attracting more projects. Ultimately, Galxe is shifting Web3's growth logic from short-term "reward-driven" traffic towards a long-term "identity-driven" relationship model, where a user's accumulated on-chain履历 becomes a core asset.

BTC Market Pulse: Week 22

Bitcoin's price weakened in Week 22, falling from $79K to around $74K before a partial recovery, with momentum down 21.7%. While selling pressure appeared to ease based on CVD metrics, overall market activity cooled as spot volume and futures open interest declined, signaling reduced speculation and a more cautious backdrop. Contrasting signals emerged. A 135.4% surge in long-side funding payments pointed to strong demand for bullish bets. Meanwhile, options skew shifted slightly, indicating greater demand for downside protection. In TradFi, US Spot ETF netflows improved 28.9%, though trade volume fell sharply. On-chain data showed minor dips in active addresses and transfer volume, hinting at a consolidation phase. Liquidity metrics suggested a more stable market with higher conviction. However, profitability ratios flagged increased market stress, with a notable rise in loss realization versus profit-taking. In summary, the market displayed signs of moderation and consolidation, characterized by reduced activity, cautious sentiment, and a mixed picture of risk appetite.
