How Zach Witkoff built a global crypto empire in months
While Steve Witkoff has been jetting around the world as President Trump's envoy, his son Zach has been on a similar international mission of his own: promote the cryptocurrency venture he shares with the Trump family.
Zach Witkoff, 32, and associates from World Liberty Financial (WLF), a company he co-founded last year in which the Trump family hold a 60 per cent stake, have been in talks with officials from the United Arab Emirates, Pakistan, Malaysia and Kyrgyzstan over deals involving its stablecoin, USD1.
In a few months this has become the world's fifth-largest stablecoin — a virtual currency pegged to a stable asset, in this case the US dollar — with a market capitalisation of $2.2 billion, paying commission to Witkoff and the Trumps every time it changes hands.

Pakistan blames ‘Indian proxy' after car bombing kills 13 soldiers near Afghan border
An explosive-laden car ploughed into a Pakistani military convoy near the Afghanistan border on Saturday, killing at least 13 soldiers. The convoy was attacked in the Mir Ali area of North Waziristan district, the army said in a statement. 'In this tragic and barbaric incident, three innocent civilians, including two children and a woman, also got severely injured,' it added. The military said they launched a counterinsurgency operation in the area after the attack and killed at least 14 gunmen. Prime minister Shehbaz Sharif denounced the attack as a "cowardly act". Army chief Asim Munir said any attempt to undermine Pakistan 's internal stability would be met with swift and decisive retribution. 'It was huge, a big bang,' a local administrator in North Waziristan told Reuters, adding that residents could see big plumes of smoke billowing from far away. One resident said the explosion rattled windowpanes of nearby houses and caused some roofs to collapse. No one had claimed responsibility for the attack by Sunday morning. The military claimed that the attack was carried out by insurgents backed by India, an allegation the neighbouring country promptly rejected. The attack was executed by an Indian proxy, the Pakistani army said. 'We have seen an official statement by the Pakistan Army seeking to blame India for the attack on Waziristan on 28 June,' Indian foreign ministry spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal said on X. 'We reject this statement with the contempt it deserves.' North Waziristan, a lawless district next to Afghanistan, has long served as a safe haven for Islamist militant groups who operate on both sides of the border. Islamabad says the militants run training camps in Afghanistan to launch attacks inside Pakistan, a charge Kabul denies, saying the militancy is Pakistan's domestic issue. The Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan, an umbrella group of militant outfits also known as the Pakistani Taliban, has long been waging a war to overthrow the government in Islamabad and replace it with its own Islamic system of governance.

Eric Trump drops big time hint about possible successor to father's presidency in 2028
Donald Trump 's second son has fueled speculation that his family is seeking to establish a multi-generational political dynasty, saying he and other relatives may run for public office. Eric Trump told the Financial Times that a political career would be 'would be an easy one' for family members, as they look beyond President Trump's second term that ends in 2029. Eric, 41, is a fierce defender of his father on television networks, while older brother Don Jr. is a key player in the Trump inner circle, using his podcast and social media presence to fire up the president's base. 'The real question is: "Do you want to drag other members of your family into it?"' Eric Trump said in an interview. 'Would I want my kids to live the same experience over the last decade that I've lived? 'If the answer was yes, I think the political path would be an easy one, meaning, I think I could do it,' he said. 'And by the way, I think other members of our family could do it too.' Trump's children and his close family have long been involved in his business life, and have also taken major roles as he moved into politics and took the White House in 2017. In Trump's first term, his daughter Ivanka and husband Jared Kushner held senior administration posts, though they have retreated from the political frontlines for now. Donald Trump Jr., 47, has been at the forefront of his father's political operation for many years with conservative candidates coveting his endorsements. Eric's wife Lara Trump co-led the national Republican Party during the last election campaign receiving lavish praise from the candidate, and she now has her own show on Fox News. Barron Trump, the president's only child with wife Melania, is aged 19, but his father says he is interested in politics and helped him to draw in young male voters via podcasts and TikTok. Kai Trump, 18, daughter of Don Jr. and ex-wife Vanessa Trump, spoke at last year's Republican National Convention and is a competitive junior golfer. Eric Trump told the Financial Times he was 'wholly unimpressed by half the politicians I see' adding 'I could do it very effectively.' Asked if a Trump would stand for election in future, he replied 'I don´t know... Time will tell. But there's more people than just me.' Eric and Don Jr. run the Trump family business, which now includes a growing cryptocurrency portfolio. Eric Trump denied any conflicts of interest, saying 'if there's one family that hasn't profited off politics, it's the Trump family. Eric's wife Lara Trump co-led the national Republican Party during the last election campaign receiving lavish praise from the candidate, and she now has her own show on Fox News Trump family members including Kai, Don Jr, Jared Kushner, Ivanka Trump, Melania Trump, Eric and his wife Lara Trump, surround the family patriarch to close out last year's convention 'The opportunity cost, the legal cost, the toll it's taken on our family has been astronomical.' The Trumps are widely believed to have taken the monetizing of their powerful status to unprecedented levels for US first families. Amazon founder Jeff Bezos has agreed to finance a film about Melania Trump, reportedly netting her $28 million. Other close family are involved in multi-billion-dollar real estate deals abroad, and Don Jr. is launching a Washington club where membership reportedly costs more than half a million dollars. In May, President Trump hosted a dinner at one of his golf clubs for investors in his $TRUMP cryptocurrency, which he launched shortly before reentering the White House.

Wall Street rocked by heavyweight slugfest as investment titan lays down massive bet against $100bn company
Two billionaire Wall Street titans have gone to war over the rise of Bitcoin in the financial markets. The ongoing clash between cryptocurrency investor Michael Saylor and renowned financial skeptic James Chanos has sent shockwaves through the stock market. Saylor, the executive chairman of MicroStrategy, has built what he refers to as a 'treasury' of the cryptocurrency by amassing a huge stockpile of more than 500,000 Bitcoins over the past five years, reports the Washington Post. The investor has made billions out of the move as his company bought the currency through issuing stock and bonds, and he has seen his fortune skyrocket since President Trump was elected. Trump was once a crypto skeptic, but he has since become a keen supporter of the financial tool, even launching his own cryptocurrency, $TRUMP coin, in January. In May, Trump Media & Technology Group echoed Saylor's tactics by announcing it would raise $2.5 billion to build its own 'Bitcoin treasury.' Stocks in Saylor's company have risen an astronomic 1,500 percent since 2020, and his 'treasury' of Bitcoin is currently valued at almost double that of Bitcoin itself. The massive surge in price could have an impact on wallets across the country, as MicroStrategy is expected to join the S&P 500 - and many 401ks - at some point this year. But Chanos, a legendary Wall Street player known for betting against other companies, has gambled against Saylor's investments in a feud that could crater the stock market. Chanos announced at the Sohn Investment Conference in May that he was 'selling MicroStrategy stock and buying Bitcoin,' alleging in a subsequent CNBC interview that Saylor's 'treasury' is 'ridiculously' overvalued so he was shorting his firm. Chanos described his play of buying Bitcoin and shorting Saylor's company as the equivalent of buying something for $1 and selling it for $2.50. Jim Osman, founder of financial analysis firm Edge, told the Washington Post that the battle between the two titans has gripped traders on Wall Street, and is seen by many as a litmus test for the strength of the cryptocurrency industry at large. 'It's a poker game with very high stakes,' he said. 'One man has put everything on Bitcoin, predicting that it's the future of money. And the other man is saying it's all smoke and mirrors and that he is blinding you with science.' Osman said the clash comes down to one fundamental question: 'Do you want to bet on a dream, or do you want to bet against it?' Saylor's stockpile of over 500,000 Bitcoin is valued at around $59 billion. Chanos has long been a skeptic of cryptocurrency, and in 2018 he described it as a 'libertarian fantasy' to Cointelegraph. He has doubted the stability of Bitcoin because it is not backed by any major currency, and has labelled it 'the dark side of finance' due to its links to illegal activities. Take Compound ₿ — Michael Saylor (@saylor) June 26, 2025 Jim Chanos lays out his MSTR short strategy. 'I'm doing what Saylor is advocating. I'm selling MSTR securities to buy Bitcoin.' — Bitcoin News (@BitcoinNewsCom) June 14, 2025 Chanos has built his reputation, and net worth of around $2 billion, on shorting companies, and most famously bet against Enron before the company's accounting scandal in 2001. When Chanos laid down his gamble against Saylor in May, he said MicroStrategy's approach to cryptocurrency could lead other, less stable firms to follow suit, and ultimately lose money if he is correct. He said his trade is 'a good barometer of not only just the arbitrage itself, but I think of retail speculation', per Cointelegraph. Earlier this month, the feud between the two billionaires escalated as Saylor criticized Chanos on Bloomberg TV, warning that 'if our stock rallies up, he's going to get liquidated and wiped out.' The next day, Bloomberg showed Saylor's warning to Chanos, to which he responded: 'I always love it when management says: 'He just doesn't understand our business.' 'Michael Saylor is a wonderful salesman, but that's what he is: He's a salesman. … I call it financial gibberish.'
