WLFI Team Meeting, Ally Meeting, Seaside Villa Cryptocurrency Business Kickoff
Original Title: "WLFI Sets Up a Group, Allies Keep Their Appointment, Doing Crypto Business at Mar-a-Lago"
Original Author: Nancy, PANews
Not long ago, the road to Mar-a-Lago was officially renamed the "Donald J. Trump Avenue." This road, stretching from the Palm Beach International Airport, with a huge golden sign, has not only become a new local visual landmark but also a tangible manifestation of Trump's personal influence.
In Palm Beach, Florida, Mar-a-Lago is no longer just Trump's private club. It is both a power hub for American political and business elites and a cash cow for the Trump family with an annual income of tens of millions of dollars.
And this road, named "Trump Avenue," has long been crowded with crypto visitors.
WLFI Group Sets Up, Traditional Elites Sit at the Crypto Main Table
At the end of January, WLFI announced that the first World Liberty Forum would be held at Mar-a-Lago on February 18 (the second day of the Lunar New Year), with the forum limited to about 300 people.
This is not an open crypto conference but a selective closed-door elite gathering. Whether one can enter will depend on the participant's "weight." Invitees are divided into participants, speakers, and media. All applicants must submit their industry, position, contact information, and X (formerly Twitter) account, which will be uniformly reviewed by the organizer, and the spots are non-transferable.
From the announced speaker lineup, most are from Wall Street and key circles of American politics.
At the financial institution level, confirmed attendees include Goldman Sachs Chairman and CEO David Solomon, Nasdaq Chairman and CEO Adena Friedman, NYSE President Lynn Martin, covering key nodes in the financial system;
· In asset management and private equity, including Franklin Templeton CEO Jenny Johnson, Third Point founder Daniel Loeb, Altimeter Capital founder Brad Gerstner, and Avenue Capital co-founder Marc Lasry, are long-standing active traditional capital forces;
· On the regulatory and policy front, current CFTC Chairman Michael Selig, U.S. Senator Bernie Moreno, Ashley Moody, as well as White House Deputy Assistant Secretary of Economic Affairs Jacob Helberg are also on the official guest list;
· Other notable figures such as FIFA President Gianni Infantino, Turing Award winner Yoshua Bengio, and Canton Network co-founder Yuval Rooz, among interdisciplinary individuals, have also been included in the invitation list.
As the initiator, Donald Trump's two sons, Eric Trump, Donald Trump Jr., and several key members of WLFI will be actively involved throughout.
Compared to previous crypto events held at Mar-a-Lago, focusing on project teams, industry practitioners, and whales, this time, traditional elites have taken a seat at the crypto table.
This shift may be significantly related to WLFI's continuous strategic adjustments in recent months.
From WLFI's advancement of a national trust bank charter and other compliance actions to the launch plan of the lending platform World Liberty Markets, and the preparation of the "Digital Dollar Gateway" WLFI App, to the ongoing demonstration of stablecoin USD1's real-world use case and market scale, WLFI is attempting to play a serious role in DeFi to strengthen its infrastructure potential in the trend of TradFi and crypto integration.
It is worth noting that WLFI has recently opened a special channel to WLFI contributors. Applicants are required to submit their holdings and contributions in WLFI or stablecoin USD1 for official eligibility review and screening.
Differing from the past model of simply exchanging real assets for entry qualifications, this time leans towards a "Contribution + Audit" hybrid system. To some extent, this provides a channel for community members to join the Trump family meeting. Currently, more than X users have voluntarily shared their contribution posts, attempting to secure entry qualifications.
Exploring, Partnering, and Fundraising - The Trump Family's Cryptocurrency Hub
Prior to this, the approximately 80,000-square-meter "Winter White House" had already become the Trump family's secret meeting room with crypto leaders.
As early as 2023, Trump invited holders of his released NFTs to meet with him. This seemingly fan-oriented gathering has been seen by many observers as a turning point, marking Trump's first public discussion and promotion of crypto investments aimed directly at a specific group of supporters.
In May 2024, Trump hosted a crypto-themed event at Mar-a-Lago, where some supporters from the crypto industry pledged to support his re-election campaign. Subsequently, his campaign team started officially accepting cryptocurrency donations, turning crypto from a symbolic political gesture into a practical fundraising tool.
A month later, Trump welcomed executives from several Bitcoin mining companies at Mar-a-Lago and publicly stated that, if he returned to the White House, he would provide policy support for the mining community. Bloomberg noted at the time that Bitcoin miners were a key support base for the Trump campaign.
Months later, on election night, crypto leaders such as Cantor Fitzgerald CEO Howard Lutnick, Bitcoin Magazine CEO David Bailey, and Kraken Chief Legal Officer Marco Santori gathered at Mar-a-Lago to celebrate Trump's victory, marking the true beginning of a crypto-friendly era.
In January 2025, executives from top crypto companies like Crypto.com, Ripple, and Coinbase visited Mar-a-Lago to exchange views with the Trump team on policy direction and regulatory frameworks, and also made substantial donations to his political organization.
In May 2025, Trump hosted a private dinner at Mar-a-Lago for the top 220 holders of the meme coin $TRUMP. Attendees included Tron founder Justin Sun, former NBA player Lamar Odom, and others, raising approximately $148 million in funding.
From early supporter gatherings to campaign funding, policy statements, and regulatory discussions, Mar-a-Lago witnessed the entire process of the crypto industry's evolution from grassroots to mainstream.

BeatSwap is evolving towards a full-stack Web3 infrastructure, covering the entire lifecycle of IP rights.
BeatSwap, a global Web3 Intellectual Property (IP) infrastructure project, is attempting to overcome the current fragmentation limitations of the Web3 ecosystem, building a full-stack system that covers the entire lifecycle of IP rights.
Currently, most Web3 projects are still in the stage of functional fragmentation, often focusing only on a single aspect, such as IP asset tokenization, transaction functionality, or a simple incentive model. This structural dispersion has become a key bottleneck hindering the industry's scale application.
BeatSwap's approach is more integrated, integrating multiple core modules into the same system, including:
· IP authentication and on-chain registration
· Authorization-based revenue sharing mechanism
· User-engagement-driven incentive system
· Transaction and liquidity infrastructure
Through the above integration, the platform builds an end-to-end closed-loop path, allowing IP rights to complete a full cycle of "creation, use, and monetization" within the same ecosystem.
BeatSwap is not limited to existing crypto users but is attempting to take the global music industry as a starting point, actively creating new market demand. Its core strategies include:
Exploring and incubating music creators (Artist discovery)
Building a fan community
Igniting IP-centric content consumption demand
The current global music industry is valued at around $260 billion, with over 2 billion digital music users. This means that the potential market corresponding to the tokenization and financialization of IP far exceeds the traditional crypto user base.
In this context, BeatSwap positions itself at the intersection of "real-world content demand" and "on-chain infrastructure," attempting to bridge the structural gap between content production and financial flow.
BeatSwap's upcoming core product "Space" is scheduled to launch in the second quarter of 2026. This product is defined as the SocialFi layer in the ecosystem, aiming to directly connect creators with users and achieve deep integration with other platform modules.
Key designs include:
A fan-centric interactive mechanism
Exposure and distribution logic based on $BTX staking
User paths connected to DeFi and liquidity structures
Thus, a complete user behavior loop is formed within the platform: Discovery → Participation → Consumption → Rewards → Trading
$BTX is designed to be a core utility asset within the ecosystem, rather than just a simple incentive token, with its value directly tied to platform activity and IP use cases.
Main features include:
· Yield distribution based on on-chain authorized actions
· Value reflection based on IP usage and user engagement dynamics
· Support for staking and DeFi participation mechanisms
· Value growth driven by ecosystem expansion
With the increased frequency of IP use, the utility and value support of $BTX will enhance simultaneously, helping alleviate the "disconnect between value and utility" issue present in traditional Web3 token models to some extent.
Currently, $BTX has been listed on several mainstream exchanges, including:
Binance Alpha
Gate
MEXC
OKX Boost
As the launch of "Space" approaches, BeatSwap is actively pursuing more exchange listings to further enhance liquidity and global accessibility, laying a foundation for future market expansion.
BeatSwap's goal is no longer limited to the traditional Web3 narrative but aims to target over 2 billion digital music users and a trillion KRW-scale content market.
By integrating content creators, users, capital, and liquidity into a blockchain framework centered around IP rights, BeatSwap is striving to build a next-generation infrastructure focused on "IP tokenization."
BeatSwap integrates IP authentication, authorization distribution, incentive mechanism, transaction system, and market construction to establish a unified structure that bridges the full lifecycle path of IP rights.
With the launch of the Q2 2026 "Space," the project is expected to become a key infrastructure connecting content and finance in the IP-RWA (Real World Assets) track.
