Senators Sound the Alarm: Trump’s Secret Stablecoin Ties Could Shake U.S. Financial System
Is the White House Quietly Building Its Own Digital Dollar Empire?
In a shocking development that’s igniting controversy across Washington and Wall Street, a group of U.S. Senators led by Elizabeth Warren has issued a fiery warning about former President Donald Trump’s reported connections to a new stablecoin project, USD1.
The Senators claim that Trump’s involvement with USD1 — a stablecoin backed by World Liberty Financial (WLF) — could allow him to manipulate U.S. financial regulators to serve his own financial interests.
The allegation is simple but explosive: A former President profiting from a digital currency he could influence through federal regulators.
📰 A Political Power Play Masquerading as Financial Innovation?
On March 28, 2025, Senators Warren, Ron Wyden, Chris Van Hollen, Jack Reed, and Cory Booker sent an official letter to the Federal Reserve and the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) demanding answers.
Their concern? That Trump could pull the strings behind the scenes to tilt regulatory policies in favor of USD1, giving it unfair market advantages over competing stablecoins.
The timing is critical. Congress is currently debating the GENIUS Act, a bill designed to grant sweeping oversight powers to the Fed and OCC over the booming stablecoin sector.
But the Act includes no safeguards to prevent political conflicts of interest.
That’s the loophole Warren and her allies say Trump could exploit.
🔥 The Risks: A President with a Personal Digital Dollar
The Senators outlined multiple scenarios of what they call “unprecedented risks”:
- Trump could interfere with the OCC’s approval process for USD1.
- He might pressure regulators to relax enforcement actions against WLF.
- In the event of a market collapse, the former President could force the Fed to bail out USD1, leaving taxpayers on the hook.
- Worst of all, Trump could influence the Fed to grant special privileges to WLF, like access to a Federal Reserve master account, giving the stablecoin project an unfair monopoly.
In plain language: A sitting or former President could game the system to enrich himself — while the American public pays the price.
⚖️ Regulatory Independence Under Threat
The Senators’ letter is a stark warning about the dangerous intersection of political power and financial technology.
Without clear conflict-of-interest rules, they argue, this situation could erode public trust in regulators, distort market competition, and trigger economic manipulation.
They have formally demanded that the Fed and OCC clarify:
- How USD1’s approval process will be handled.
- Whether emergency financial support could be extended to WLF.
- What oversight mechanisms will be enforced to prevent political interference.
The agencies have until April 11, 2025 to respond.
