With Donald Trump now championing a decentralized finance platform while pledging to make America the “crypto capital” of the world, all eyes are focused on the growing digital-asset efforts of the former president’s family and associates.

In recent weeks, the Republican presidential nominee and two of his sons have been promoting World Liberty Financial, a DeFi project that aims to eliminate intermediaries such as banks through the use of software-driven applications.
