Just a couple of months before this episode aired, World Liberty Financial threw its own crypto conference in the gilded ballroom of Mar-a-Lago, Trump's Florida resort and 'winter White House.' Attendees included government regulators, business leaders, and Trump administration officials. A golden eagle hung over the stage; another golden eagle sat in the resort pool. Also in attendance was CZ, the founder of Binance who had been pardoned by Trump, making his first public appearance on US soil since his release from prison. Rebecca Ballhaus sees the event as emblematic: the Trump and Witkoff sons openly leveraging their fathers' government roles, the crypto world and the White House orbits fully merged. World Liberty has no intention of slowing down.

The event made plain that the Trump-crypto nexus is only getting bigger.
