Recently, World Liberty Financial announced its partnership with the Sui Foundation. The project plans to integrate Sui assets into its strategic token reserve and co-develop products as part of the collaboration.

According to recent reports from the Wall Street Journal and Bloomberg, World Liberty Financial has been involved in discussions with Binance about potential business ventures, including the development of a stablecoin.

However, both WLFI and Binance CEO Changpeng Zhao have denied any concrete business deals or discussions about acquiring a stake in Binance, labeling these reports as politically motivated and baseless.
