Trump also unveiled a new cryptocurrency business, World Liberty Financial, in September.

The cryptocurrency organisations have denied the SEC's allegations.
New products incoming The cryptocurrency industry has spent years clashing with Democratic President Joe Biden's administration over regulatory issues. Cryptocurrency asset managers including Bitwise and Canary Capital are planning new products ahead of what many executives expect to be a more cryptocurrency-friendly administration, while others including Ripple are planning a fresh push for cryptocurrency legislation in the new Congress, executives and lawyers told Reuters..
