Senator Elizabeth Warren is using PancakeSwap to pressure regulators regarding potential conflicts of interest related to crypto and the Trump family. In a letter to Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent and Attorney General Pamela Bondi, Warren raises concerns about national security risks tied to decentralized exchanges like PancakeSwap. She highlights reports of the platform being used to launder cybercrime proceeds linked to North Korea. Warren also points to PancakeSwap's involvement with coins tied to the Trump family's crypto company, World Liberty Financial (WLFI). She requests details on actions to prevent conflicts of interest, explicitly including business ties to the Trump family, setting a response deadline for January 12, 2026. Warren argues that regulators should not accept decentralization as an excuse for non-compliance.
