Özet

World Liberty Financial (WLFI), a DeFi venture linked to the Trump family, has introduced a new "Super Node" program requiring investors to lock $5 million worth of tokens for six months. In return, participants receive "guaranteed direct access" to certain WLFI team members and gain voting rights in governance matters. Although Eric Trump, Donald Trump Jr., and Barron Trump are listed as part of the supporting team, they will not be included in the direct access offering. The proposal passed with 99% approval from 1,786 votes. Super Nodes must stake 50 million WLFI tokens and will earn a 2% yield in tokens for participating in at least two votes. This move shifts from earlier promises of democratized access by restricting voting rights to large stakeholders. Separately, Trump will host another exclusive dinner for TRUMP memecoin holders. WLFI’s token price rose nearly 6% to $0.1079 amid a broader crypto market recovery.

The Trump family’s decentralized finance (DeFi) venture, World Liberty Financial (WLFI), unveiled on Friday a new investment opportunity for participants and supporters of the platform.

As earlier reported by Reuters, investors who commit to locking $5 million worth of their tokens for six months will gain “guaranteed direct access” to certain members of the WLFI team in exchange for voting rights.

World Liberty Financial Introduces ‘Super Nodes’

This new initiative includes family members of President Trump among the “Supporting Team” listed in World Liberty’s documentation. Eric Trump, Donald Trump Jr., and Barron Trump are all mentioned, though the company has clarified that they will not be part of the direct access arrangement.

Voting on this proposal closed on Thursday, with the company claiming that 99% of the 1,786 votes cast were in favor of the new arrangement.

The introduction of a tiered structure for token holders, referred to as “Super Nodes,” represents a shift from the company’s earlier commitment to democratizing access to financial resources.

David Wachsman, the company’s spokesman, clarified that while Super Nodes will have access to the WLFI team, it does not guarantee a partnership. Instead, it suggests that significant participation in governance will be encouraged.

According to World Liberty’s website, this initiative aims to incentivize token holders to engage more actively in the governance of the crypto firm, which generated over $460 million for the Trump family in the first half of 2025.

Exclusive Dinner For TRUMP Memecoin Holders

To become a Super Node, investors must stake 50 million WLFI tokens. By staking their tokens for six months, holders will not only gain voting rights on governance matters but also earn a yield of 2% in WLFI tokens for participating in at least two votes.

Previously, all WLFI token holders enjoyed the ability to vote on alterations to the company’s underlying code, with each token representing one vote. They could also express their opinions on the venture’s strategic directions, as outlined in World Liberty’s Gold Paper.

However, with the passage of this new proposal, voting rights will now be restricted to those who have staked their tokens for the designated period, further limiting access to crucial governance processes.

In a related development, Bitcoinist reported that President Trump is preparing to host the second exclusive dinner for holders of his official memecoin, TRUMP, scheduled for April 25 at Mar-a-Lago.

Arthur Hayes Conducts Major Sales of Ethereum and Two Altcoins!

Reports indicate that BitMEX co-founder Arthur Hayes has sold a significant portion of his Ethereum ($ETH) holdings following a nearly 3% price decline. Blockchain data reveals that over the past two weeks, Hayes acquired a total of 3,298 ETH via over-the-counter deals at an average price of $1,916. However, approximately two hours ago, an address believed to belong to him transferred 2,364 ETH to addresses associated with Cumberland and Galaxy Digital. Following these transfers, 4.30 million USDC was sent to Hayes's wallet, with transaction analysis suggesting the ETH was likely sold. If Hayes sold the 2,364 ETH, the transaction is estimated to have resulted in a loss of approximately $220,000. Furthermore, blockchain data showed Hayes recently sold $658,000 worth of SYN and $248,000 worth of ENA. This news comes after BitMEX, the cryptocurrency exchange he founded, recently announced its decision to permanently shut down.

Goldman Sachs: July Smashes Through Crowded Trades, U.S. Stock Bull Market Not Broken but Harder to Navigate

Goldman Sachs: July Sees Crowded Trades Unwound, U.S. Bull Market Intact but Getting Tougher. The U.S. stock market in July did not see an index-level crash, but rather a significant unwinding of speculative positions. While the S&P 500 remained stable—trading within a narrow 3.5% range and staying within 2% of its high—underlying market dynamics were volatile. Heavily crowded trades, particularly in high-momentum tech, AI-linked stocks, and Asian strategies, faced severe pressure and forced deleveraging. Data indicates this was a meaningful cleanse, not a minor adjustment. Global tech exposure saw its largest sell-off in over five years, leverage in Korean equity ETFs plummeted, and Goldman's prime brokerage recorded the largest gross exposure reduction since late 2022. Leverage on momentum factors among fundamental long/short clients fell to the 28th percentile of its one-year range. The AI trade narrative shifted from pure potential to a focus on tangible returns. While Meta failed to show clear AI monetization, Microsoft and Amazon provided evidence that massive capital expenditure is translating into scalable revenue and product growth, preventing a blanket sell-off of the AI sector. The Federal Reserve's more opaque communication style and volatility in long-end Treasury yields have introduced new friction, particularly for rate-sensitive growth and tech stocks. The broader outlook for U.S. equities remains favorable, supported by a strong economy, robust earnings, and substantial AI capital expenditure. However, risk/reward is no longer cheap, and the market's upward elasticity has weakened. The Nasdaq 100's trajectory—up 12% year-to-date despite significant pullbacks—illustrates that the bull trend persists but the path is becoming more difficult. The key lesson from July is that the market no longer rewards crowded, highly leveraged trades, requiring more disciplined and liquid portfolio approaches.

The Long-Awaited Cryptocurrency Bill Known as the 'Clarity Act' Reaches a Critical Juncture: White House to Review It This Weekend

The future of the U.S. cryptocurrency market regulation, the CLARITY Act, is at a critical stage, with its advancement potentially hinging on a White House decision this weekend. The Trump administration is reviewing a new bipartisan ethics proposal from Senators Tom Tillis (R) and Ruben Gallego (D). This counter-proposal aims to empower state attorneys general to prosecute federal officials if the Justice Department fails to enforce ethics and conflict-of-interest rules, addressing Democratic concerns about DOJ enforcement under the current administration. If an agreement on these ethics provisions is reached, a Senate vote on the CLARITY Act could proceed, though it still requires 60 votes for passage. The bill, which passed the Senate Banking Committee, seeks to clarify the regulatory roles of the SEC and CFTC over crypto assets and establish a comprehensive market structure. Key compromises include regulations for stablecoin yield programs, allowing rewards tied to transactions or platform use while limiting interest-like payments based solely on token holding. Failure to reach an ethics deal could stall the bill's progress, prolonging uncertainty for stablecoin rewards and related regulations.

Interview with Robinhood Executive: Meme + Tokenized US Stocks as "Barbell" Customer Acquisition Strategy, All Business Lines Achieve Hundreds of Millions in Revenue

Interview with Robinhood executive Johann Kerbrat reveals the company's "barbell" customer acquisition strategy for its new Robinhood Chain, combining meme tokens with tokenized stocks. Three weeks after mainnet launch, the chain has seen over $3B in weekly DEX volume and 105M transactions. Kerbrat explains the logic behind the permissionless chain: meme tokens attract DeFi users, while tokenized real-world assets (RWA), currently over 90 US stocks and ETFs accessible in 120+ countries, serve global users. The goal is to bring Robinhood's 27 million funded accounts on-chain by simplifying DeFi with a user-friendly interface, exemplified by features like Robinhood Earn which offers yield without requiring wallet management. Built on Arbitrum's technology stack for its speed, low cost, and Ethereum's security, the chain focuses on financial products like Earn, spot trading, and perpetuals. Kerbrat downplays direct competition with platforms like Base, emphasizing the goal of expanding the overall market for on-chain assets. He details selective partnerships (e.g., Morpho, Lighter) based on compliance, unique UX, and differentiation. While regulatory clarity is pending for US perpetuals, the expansion continues via Bitstamp in Europe. Finally, Kerbrat positions Robinhood as a "super app" integrating stocks, options, crypto, banking, and AI trading, with all major business lines generating hundreds of millions in revenue. For the chain, current priority is driving adoption over maximizing gas fee revenue.
