Eric Trump and Donald Trump Jr. grinned as confetti rained down at Nasdaq Inc. in Times Square on Wednesday. The president’s sons arrived to celebrate the newest deal for the crypto company they co-founded, World Liberty Financial.

Nasdaq Chief Executive Officer Adena Friedman called the moment a “significant milestone” that puts a public company, pairing up with the roughly one-year-old World Liberty, at the “forefront of decentralized finance.”
