DID TRUMP’S WORLD LIBERTY FINANCIAL JUST TRADE ON INSIDE INFORMATION? 🤔
If you have an older brother – there’s a good chance you can pinpoint the exact moment you lost a certain degree of trust in him as a kid.
For us, it was the time our older brother made us a milkshake, watched us gulp it down, then asked…
“You like that? Yeah, well, I hucked a loogie in it.”
Boom! Just like that, distrust was sewn into any good deed he tried to do for us for the next decade or so.
Why are we telling you this? ‘Cause today’s story hits similar beats.
Let’s start on a positive note – the “we just got a surprise milkshake” part of the story:
D.O.G.E. is looking to use blockchain technology to bring greater transparency to government spending. 👇
We can all agree that greater transparency on government spending is a good thing, right? And that blockchain technology might be used to do so is an extra cherry on top?
Nice! Ok, now allow us to huck a loogie in your milkshake…
Last night, as news started to break about these potential new transparency measures, it was announced that Movement ($MOVE) was one of the blockchains in discussion with D.O.G.E. 👇
…and guess who bought $MOVE just minutes before the news broke? 👀
There are two points of irony here:
- A company that the President has a very public interest in may have just made a shady trade off the back of a government transparency initiative.
- Shortly after we posted this on X (the free speech platform) we lost our gold checkmark. 😂
Now, much to the disappointment of our mothers: we’re not lawyers. So we don’t know if this is insider trading in a strictly legal sense.
But it sure feels like it!
And even if there is a legal loophole at play here – politicians shouldn’t be able to trade on inside information.
(Whether it’s Nancy Pelosi or Donald Trump).

PHANTOM WALLET JUST ADDED CROSS-CHAIN SWAPS 🤝
This new update from Phantom wallet massively reduces the onchain “see-watcha-gotta-do” factor.
What is that exactly?
Allow us to answer your question, with another question:
You know how every time you bridge assets between chains, it feels like the stress might wipe years off your life expectancy? Say you want to swap some Ethereum-based $USDC for $SOL – you need to:
- Find/vet multiple bridging protocols…
- Send your Ethereum-based $USDC to the Solana address via said bridge…
- Wait for up to 30 mins for the transfer to Solana-based $USDC to be confirmed…
- Take your Solana-based $USDC and swap it for $SOL.
Yeah – it’s not a fun experience. And doubly so if you’re new to crypto.
But if you’re a Phantom user, you can now swap tokens across Solana, Ethereum, and Base – all without having to manually bridge!
You just punch in the amount you want to swap, and Phantom takes care of the rest in the background (👈 that’s big ‘centralized exchange’ energy right there).
Which means, as we continue to coax more and more of our friends and family into moving onchain, we’re going to spend way less time hovering over their shoulders muttering:
“See, whatcha gotta do is…no, don’t click that…wait, don’t sign anything…here, give it to me.”
(@phantom: my dad says thanks).
