The post The Context 160: 🔎 Trump and Justin Sun’s governance betrayals appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com.

Over 14 months ago the Trump-founded World Liberty Financial passed a governance vote that would involve it launching an Aave instance to support its borrowing and lending features. This vote was important because it helped validate World Liberty Financial’s claim that governance “is the cornerstone of the WLFI platform.” This instance has yet to be launched. Is World Liberty Financial a dead project? However, don’t worry yourself that World Liberty Financial has been sitting stagnant. After all, it’s been able to launch: the USD1 stablecoin, launched without a governance vote a bridge that enables you to move your USD1 or WLFI tokens to other chains, launched in collaboration with Chainlink and without a governance vote WLFI Markets, a borrowing and lending market, launched in collaboration with Dolomite without a governance vote a partnership with a WLFI digital asset treasury firm, again without a governance vote Additionally, it’s had time to announce: a cryptocurrency wallet without a governance vote. foreign exchange features without a governance vote. that it is seeking a bank charter without a governance vote. I’m starting to question whether or not this firm is truly committed to making governance “the cornerstone of the WLFI platform.” They swapped out the borrow and lending platform from Aave to Dolomite without even bothering to ask their tokenholders if it is okay. Would you believe me if I said that Corey Caplan, World Liberty Financial’s chief technical officer was also the founder and CEO of Dolomite? I sure hope he had no conflict of interest when he decided to discard the input of governance tokenholders in favor of a platform he profits from! This type of behavior isn’t uncommon in the crypto ecosystem; consider World Liberty Financial advisor Justin Sun. Sun frequently advertises and discusses the “TRON DAO,” but I challenge you…
