Elizabeth Warren Demands Investigation Into 'Improper Political Influence' By Trump Ties To World Liberty Financial

Sen. Warren calls for a national-security probe into PancakeSwap's ties to Trump-linked tokens amid ongoing Senate crypto legislation talks, citing risks of improper political influence.

  • On Monday, U.S. Senator Elizabeth Warren asked Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent and Attorney General Pam Bondi to review PancakeSwap for `any improper political influence` tied to World Liberty Financial Inc., linked to President Donald Trump.
  • Amid congressional debate, regulators are weighing national-security and illicit-finance risks as Warren framed decentralized finance platforms in Senate Banking Committee talks, with regulation seen as a potential deal-breaker in Senate market-structure negotiations.
  • PancakeSwap operates across multiple blockchains and serves as a major protocol on Binance's BNB Chain, where BNB topped $870, while Warren warned DeFi platforms process hundreds of millions daily without user ID.
  • Warren's move comes as Senate negotiations on the Senate market-structure bill drag, risking delays if talks extend past January and clash with Congress' Jan. 30 budget deadline.
  • Pressure over officials' industry ties intensifies as Warren has been sidelined while Democrats negotiating with Republicans on the bill could shape enforcement and DeFi rules.
