According to Golden Finance reports, Elizabeth Warren, a senior Democratic member of the U.S. Senate Banking Committee, has called for a national security investigation into certain DeFi platforms, focusing on their potential ties to Trump's business interests. In a letter to Treasury Secretary Scott Bansen and Attorney General Pam Bondi, Warren explicitly named PancakeSwap, suggesting it may amplify tokens issued by World Liberty Financial Inc. related to Trump, and requested a review of whether there are any 'improper political influences.' This move comes amid ongoing back-and-forth in the U.S. Senate regarding cryptocurrency market structure legislation. Warren criticized that DeFi platforms have massive daily trading volumes yet lack identity verification, and the regulatory discrepancies have become a key 'red line' for whether the bill can gain support from the industry. Due to significant disagreements between the Democratic and Republican parties on DeFi regulation and officials' conflicts of interest, the bill has been postponed for further consideration until January next year, and still faces the risk of further delays due to potential budget negotiations.
