Trump Collaborator, Bill Zanker, Downplays Wallet Kerfuffle

Bill Zanker, who helped U.S. President Donald Trump and his family launch the eponymous NFT collection and memecoin , says there's more to come from their collaborations. Zanker says he's still in good graces with the president's family despite receiving a cease-and-desist from it just weeks ago. "Every day, we’re focused on turning TRUMP into a practical tool for engagement and mainstream adoption," Zanker told CoinDesk in an interview via Telegram organized by Tron. "Stay tuned for a TRUMP Mobile Game coming soon – and many other big things this summer." Zanker might be seen as on the outs with the Trump family after cease-and-desist letters reportedly accused him of misusing the Trump name to promote a crypto wallet tied to the controversial TRUMP token, a project the family says it never authorized. However, Zanker told CoinDesk that this is not the case. "No dispute, just a big misunderstanding," he told CoinDesk via Telegram. Both parties are still working together, and Zanker pointed to a recent announcement from World Liberty Financial that it was adding the TRUMP token to its treasury as proof that all is well. "It ended up that World Liberty was in advanced stages of their wallet," he continued. "We felt it would be best for them to launch with it." Zanker also sang the praises of Tron's Justin Sun in the interview organized by Sun's team. Sun recently announced that the TRUMP token is coming to Tron, via bridging technology provided by LayerZero. "Justin’s focus is about building real, usable infrastructure," he said. "He’s incredibly driven, and he listens. He has always pushed to make blockchain technology more accessible to the non-crypto audience TRUMP attracts, and making crypto useful for people around the world. I respect his focus and the results he continues to deliver," Zanker continued. Sun, for his part, still faces civil fraud charges from the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), which alleged he and Tron engaged in market manipulation and issued unregistered securities. His attorneys and the SEC asked a court to pause the case to work on a possible resolution, a similar motion the SEC made in other cases it ultimately dropped. The parties face a late-August deadline to file an update. Read more: Justin Sun Wants to Make TRUMP a Global Crypto Brand With $100M Buy
