Donald Trump has officially launched his cryptocurrency platform, World Liberty Financial, offering a whitelist to investors amid ongoing scrutiny in the crypto market. The SEC has filed an appeal against Ripple Labs, contesting a recent settlement and claiming the company sold unregistered securities. Trump portrays WLFI as a financial revolution aimed at empowering everyday Americans against big banks. Meanwhile, the top cryptocurrencies have faced slight declines, with XRP experiencing a 15.25% drop. Despite these challenges, Ripple's CEO remains defiant, emphasizing the court's classification of XRP as a non-security.
