World Liberty Financial (WLFI), the Crypto project, supported by the Donald Trump family, accelerates its international expansion plans in the midst of meetings with industrial expert Changpeng Zhao, the founder and former CEO of Binance.
On April 27, WLFI founders Zach Witkoff, Zak Folkman and Chase Hero held a controversial meeting with Zhao in Abu Dhabi.
According to detailed Part of X, the meeting was aimed at encouraging broader crypto adoption worldwide and exploring ways to increase industrial standards.
The team suggested that future discussions with ZHAO could follow and describe the meeting as “only the start” of a broader cooperation.
The conversation with Zhao marks another milestone in WLFI’s efforts to go beyond the United States and to tailor themselves to important players in the global crypto landscape.
After the meeting, Zhao noticed that regular media could deform the event to spread negativity.
He said:
“I feel that the traditional media will try to come up with a negative story about this.”
Zhao’s statement is not surprising, given that he had to disprove various stories that suggest that he discussed an investment agreement with the family of US President Donald Trump in Binance.us, the American division of the Global Binance Crypto Exchange.
Zhao emphasized that the stories were not true and intended to undermine the US president and the crypto industry.

“Our goal is to work together with market leaders and present Pakistan as a worldwide case study in how emerging markets can use blockchain to create transformative opportunities.”
