Analysis Summary
The SEC's enforcement actions dropped to a 20-year low in fiscal 2025 (456 actions, 22% below prior year), confirmed by the agency's April 7 announcement that Elizabeth Warren publicly challenged. The Trump family's World Liberty Financial crypto project borrowed $75 million against its own $WLFI token on the Dolomite platform, raising concerns about a death spiral if prices drop further and about ordinary depositors being locked out of their funds. The article documents specific details: World Liberty collateralized ~$450M in WLFI and later minted new stablecoins in batches matching repayment timing, a pattern that mirrors the circular-debt collapse of FTX and Alameda. The broader context is that crypto enforcement is simultaneously cratering while regulatory leadership is now filled with crypto insiders — the DOJ's new crypto enforcement chief previously tried to shut down the agency's crypto unit, and the Fed Chair nominee is heavily invested in crypto and AI.
