Representatives of President Trump's family have reportedly been discussing acquiring a stake in the US arm of crypto exchange Binance as the former Coinbase competitor (banned in the US in 2019) plots its re-entry into the world's largest and most pro-crypto economy.

This also comes as Binance founder Changpeng Zhao (CZ) pursues a presidential pardon after pleading guilty to violating US anti-money-laundering laws in 2023.
