UAE ‘spy sheikh’ backs 49% stake in Trump family’s crypto bank venture, WSJ reports

World Liberty’s proposed trust bank has preliminary federal approval as the Trump-backed crypto venture deepens its ties to a senior UAE official.

  • A prominent UAE official, Sheikh Tahnoon bin Zayed Al Nahyan, is reportedly backing a significant stake in the Trump family's planned crypto bank venture, World Liberty Financial.
  • The venture has received preliminary federal approval for a national trust bank that would issue a dollar-backed stablecoin, USD1.
  • The arrangement has raised scrutiny due to the official's position and potential conflicts of interest, though the company maintains it is a private fintech firm.
