“Not Political!” World Liberty Financial Defends USD1 Stablecoin from Senate Scrutiny
World Liberty Financial says the Senate’s probe into its USD1 stablecoin is politically driven. Here’s what’s really going on behind the scenes.

World Liberty Financial has rejected a U.S. Senate investigation into its USD1 stablecoin, calling the probe “politically motivated” and firmly denying any connection to Donald Trump or partisan interests.
The Senate’s interest in USD1 stems from concerns over transparency, reserve backing, and potential political influence. Rumors have circulated that USD1 could be linked to political fundraising or election-related crypto activity, especially after high-profile token promotions aligned with right-wing figures.
In response, the company claims the investigation is “a distraction from real financial issues” and insists that USD1 is fully backed and regularly audited. However, the lack of publicly available audits continues to raise eyebrows.
While stablecoins have long been in regulators' crosshairs, USD1’s case shows how crypto and politics are becoming increasingly intertwined — especially in an election year.
