WLFI Founders Huddle with Binance’s CZ—Crypto’s New Power Brokers Set to Rewrite the Rules

Behind closed doors, the WLFI team pitched CZ on mainstream adoption—because nothing says ’financial revolution’ like begging centralized exchanges for approval.

Subheader: The Unholy Alliance of DeFi and CEXs

Sources say the meeting focused on ’industry standards’—Wall Street-speak for ’how we can all get rich together while pretending to care about decentralization.’ Expect new tokenomics models that somehow still funnel value back to BNB.

Closing thought: When crypto’s rebels start taking meetings with its establishment, either the system’s changing... or the rebels just want better seats at the trough.

WLFI Signs Letter of Intent with Pakistan Crypto Council to Advance Blockchain and DeFi Initiatives

On the same day, Pakistani media outlet Profit reported that WLFI signed a Letter of Intent (LOI) with the Pakistan Crypto Council (PCC). The agreement focuses on promoting blockchain technology, DeFi solutions, and stablecoin adoption across Pakistan.

As part of this initiative, WLFI’s team engaged with top government officials, including Pakistan’s Prime Minister and key ministers, to discuss regulatory frameworks, asset tokenization, and crypto infrastructure development.

Pakistan, recognized as one of the fastest-growing crypto markets with over 25 million active users and annual crypto transactions exceeding $300 billion, represents a significant opportunity for WLFI’s expansion plans.

WLFI’s founders @ZachWitkoff @zakfolkman @WatcherChase met with @cz_binance, the founder of Binance, to talk about growing global adoption, setting new standards, and pushing crypto to the next level.

Institutional interest in WLFI is also rising. On 16 April 2025, DWF Labs announced a $25 million purchase of WLFI governance tokens, signaling confidence in the firm’s US growth trajectory.

The partnership will also support WLFI’s DeFi offerings, including its USD stablecoin, backed by US Treasuries and cash equivalents.

According to data from Arkham, WLFI currently manages over $102 million in crypto assets, spanning holdings in USDC, Wrapped Bitcoin (WBTC), Ethereum (ETH), and Tron (TRX).

While WLFI’s global outreach is accelerating, the long-term impact of its initiatives on crypto adoption and the broader DeFi ecosystem remains to be seen.

Trump Media Teams Up With Crypto.com

Last week, Trump Media and Technology Group (TMTG) announced a partnership with crypto exchange Crypto.com and asset manager Yorkville America Digital to launch a series of exchange-traded funds (ETFs) with a distinct “Made in America” focus.

The funds will be rolled out under Trump Media’s decentralized finance arm, Truth.Fi, and made available through Crypto.com’s broker-dealer, Foris Capital. Subject to regulatory approval, the ETFs are expected to debut later in 2025.

Previously, it was revealed that executives from Trump Media & Technology Group are spearheading a $179 million SPAC, Renatus Tactical Acquisition Corp I, with the goal of acquiring a US-based crypto or blockchain company.
