David Yaffe-Bellany reports in February:
World Liberty Financial, the Trump family’s crypto start-up, reached a major landmark last month. The total circulation of the company’s signature digital coin hit $5 billion, cementing its place as one of the world’s top cryptocurrencies. 
“New milestones achieved,” the company declared on social media. The president’s second son, Eric Trump, celebrated the moment with a series of fire emojis. 
Much of that success was down to an alliance with the crypto exchange Binance — founded by Changpeng Zhao, the billionaire mogul who was pardoned by President Trump last year.  [emphasis added]
 
Michael Forsythe and David Yaffe-Bellany report in July
Binance moves billions of dollars in digital coins every day, leading a booming global industry that has been embraced by the Trump administration. Last year, President Trump eased federal scrutiny on crypto companies at the same time that his family’s crypto start-up forged a business relationship with Binance. [emphasis added]
The company said that it had not slowed its cooperation with law enforcement, and that the change was meant to ensure that Binance followed regulations and privacy laws when handling customers’ personal data. There is no indication that the change was related to the Trump administration’s easing of regulations. 
But investigators said the policy had created new obstacles for fighting financial crime.
