World Liberty Finance Surge: World Liberty Financial (WLF) saw its stock rise over 12% despite increased scrutiny from a U.S. House investigation into its foreign investment ties, particularly concerning links to Trump-era cryptocurrency activities.
Investigation Details: Representative Ro Khanna initiated the probe, requesting documents related to a reported $500 million stake deal and the use of WLF's USD1 stablecoin in transactions linked to Binance.
Market Performance: Following the investigation news, WLF's trading price reached $0.1117, marking a 12.14% increase, with a market cap of approximately $2.98 billion and a daily trading volume significantly higher than the previous day.
Future Compliance Deadline: WLF has until March 1, 2026, to respond to Khanna's letter and provide documentation regarding the stake acquisition and related payments, framing the issue as a governance concern tied to national security and U.S. export control policies.
