The controversy surrounding the Trump family and a newly launched crypto wallet continues to escalate, with legal action now in motion. World Liberty Financial (WLFI), a decentralized finance (DeFi) venture associated with Donald Trump and his family, has issued a cease-and-desist letter to the creators of a contentious wallet linked to the former president’s crypto brand.

Dispute Over Trump-Themed Crypto Wallet

The legal notice was sent to Fight Fight Fight LLC, the company behind the Trump-themed memecoin project, ‘GetTrumpMemes.’ Earlier this week, the firm announced the launch of the wallet in collaboration with a crypto service provider. The wallet was marketed as an easy entry point for Trump supporters into the cryptocurrency space.

According to promotional materials shared by the memecoin team, their mission was to make cryptocurrency more accessible for Trump supporters worldwide. The wallet was touted as a significant step toward building a dedicated community around the $TRUMP token.

Trump Family’s Public Denunciation

On June 3, Eric Trump and Donald Trump Jr. publicly disavowed the wallet project via social media. Both emphasized that the wallet was not authorized by the family and criticized the use of the Trump name without proper consent. They clarified that the Trump Organization had no involvement in the project.

“This project is not authorized by @Trump. The Trump Organization has zero involvement with this wallet product,” they stated.

Website Goes Offline Following Legal Action

Shortly after the cease-and-desist letter, the wallet’s official website, which was accepting sign-ups for a waitlist, went offline. However, promotional posts from both the memecoin project and its crypto service partner remain active on social media platforms.

Background on the Dispute

The wallet controversy comes amid claims that Fight Fight Fight LLC had previously enjoyed a positive relationship with the Trump family. The project’s team reportedly attended an exclusive dinner hosted by Donald Trump for top token holders. Additionally, the official memecoin website suggested a direct affiliation with the Trump Organization, claiming shared ownership of 80% of the Trump cards supply.

Broader Implications for Trump-Linked Crypto Ventures

This dispute adds to the growing uncertainty surrounding the Trump family’s involvement in cryptocurrency ventures. While Donald Trump has cultivated an image as a “crypto president,” questions remain about the authenticity and purpose of projects linked to his name. Critics argue that many of these initiatives may prioritize profit over delivering real value to the crypto community.

As the legal battle unfolds, it highlights the challenges of navigating intellectual property and brand authorization in the rapidly evolving cryptocurrency sector. Investors and enthusiasts should approach such projects with caution, ensuring they conduct thorough research before participating in any crypto-related ventures.
