A $75 million loan backed by nearly half a billion dollars worth of a 
company&#8217;s own tokens is now at the center of a Senate push to get regulators 
involved in the Trump family&#8217;s crypto operations. The Loan That Raised 
Questions World Liberty Financial, the crypto project tied to US President 
Donald Trump and his family, reportedly used around $440 million worth of its 
WLFI governance tokens as collateral to borrow money through Dolomite, a 
decentralized lending platform. Related Reading: XRP Records Biggest Spike In 
Network Usage In 2 Months The transaction produced roughly $65 million in the 
company&#8217;s own USD1 stablecoin and another $10 million in USDC. What made the 
deal stand out was the timing. Regular investors who held WLFI tokens were 
still locked in — blocked from selling — while the transaction went through. 
Shortly after, the token&#8217;s price dropped nearly 10% to a record low. Senator 
Elizabeth Warren sent a letter to SEC Chair Paul Atkins on May 14 asking the 
agency to look into whether World Liberty Financial misled investors or broke 
securities laws tied to the WLFI token. Warren set a response deadline of May 
26. WARREN ASKS SEC TO INVESTIGATE WORLD LIBERTY FINANCIAL Senator Elizabeth

BSCN (@BSCNews) May 14, 2026 The Crypto Issue: A Lopsided Structure The 
senator&#8217;s concerns go beyond the loan. According to reports, Trump-affiliated 
entities stand to collect 75% of all WLFI token sale proceeds after expenses. 
The investors who bought those tokens, by contrast, faced strict restrictions 
on when they could sell. Warren&#8217;s letter cited reports that the company raised 
close to $715 million through token sales, while the Trump family&#8217;s total 
crypto-linked wealth connected to the project reportedly crossed $1 billion. 
The Trump family currently holds roughly 22.5 billion WLFI tokens through an 
entity called DT Marks DEFI LLC. Warren has been pushing for tighter investor 
protections as Congress reviews broader digital asset rules under the proposed 
CLARITY Act, one of the largest crypto-focused bills in US history. Warren&#8217;s 
Political Moves Fall Short During a recent CLARITY Act markup session, Warren 
introduced amendments specifically targeting the Trump family&#8217;s involvement in 
crypto markets. Related Reading: Is Zcash The Next Bitcoin? Investors Rush 
Into The Privacy Coin Narrative Those amendments were voted down along party 
lines. The broader debate over crypto regulation continues, with the Warren 
letter adding pressure on the SEC at a moment when the agency is navigating 
both political crosswinds and calls from the industry for clearer rules. 
Whether Atkins, who is widely viewed as friendly to the crypto sector, will 
take formal action remains to be seen. Featured image from Unsplash, chart
