PANews reported on November 18th, citing CNBC, that two US senators have urged the Justice Department and Treasury Department to investigate World Liberty Financial, citing alleged links to illicit actors in North Korea and Russia. On Tuesday, Senators Elizabeth Warren and Jack Reed sent a letter to Attorney General Pamela Bondi and Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent expressing concerns about World Liberty Financial, stating that the cryptocurrency company, heavily owned and operated by the Trump family, could pose a risk to national security. The letter states that World Liberty Financial lacks sufficient safeguards to prevent bad actors from transferring funds or influencing its governance. The senators cited a September report from the nonprofit corporate watchdog Accountable.US, which stated that World Liberty Financial had sold its WLFI tokens to “multiple highly suspicious entities.” These entities include: traders with blockchain ties to the North Korean hacking group Lazarus Group; a sanctioned Russian “ruble-backed sanctions evasion tool”; an Iranian cryptocurrency exchange; and the known money laundering platform Tornado Cash.PANews reported on November 18th, citing CNBC, that two US senators have urged the Justice Department and Treasury Department to investigate World Liberty Financial, citing alleged links to illicit actors in North Korea and Russia.

Aave DAO to Shut Down 50% of L2s While Doubling Down on GHO
The post Aave DAO to Shut Down 50% of L2s While Doubling Down on GHO appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Aave DAO is gearing up for a significant overhaul by shutting down over 50% of underperforming L2 instances. It is also restructuring its governance framework and deploying over $100 million to boost GHO. This could be a pivotal moment that propels Aave back to the forefront of on-chain lending or sparks unprecedented controversy within the DeFi community. Sponsored Sponsored ACI Proposes Shutting Down 50% of L2s The “State of the Union” report by the Aave Chan Initiative (ACI) paints a candid picture.

The DAO should invest in key networks with significant differentiators. Second, ACI is pushing for a complete overhaul of the “friendly fork” framework, as most have been unimpressive regarding TVL and revenue. In some cases, attackers have exploited them to Aave’s detriment, as seen with Spark. Sponsored Sponsored “The friendly fork model had a good intention but bad execution where the DAO was too friendly towards these forks, allowing the DAO only little upside,” the report states. Third, the instance model, once a smart…
