Gould, however, refused to intervene, stating that he would process the application according to standard procedures and countered that the only political pressure felt came from Warren. 41 House Democrats had previously written to the Treasury Secretary, warning that approving the license could threaten "the legitimacy of the U.S. banking system and its independence from foreign actors."

This is akin to Warren claiming to be a Native American, but tests show she has only 0.195% Native American ancestry.ZachXBT added that he does not hold WLFI tokens and did not participate in the token sale, pointing out that this issue arises because regulators are trying to use unfounded "illegal funding accusations" to attack the crypto industry. If the crackdown on WLFI is successful, the next target could be Hyperliquid.
