Trump-linked World Liberty says WorldClaw is independent after questions over AI model access

World Liberty is the crypto venture co-founded by the Trump family, and issues USD1, a dollar-pegged stablecoin with billions in circulation. The Trump family owns 38% of World Liberty and has made more than $1.4 billion from sales of its tokens, according to Reuters, the largest share of $2.3 billion in family crypto earnings.

WorldClaw is a Hong Kong company that sells developers access to dozens of AI models through a single service called WorldRouter. Rather than opening separate accounts with each AI provider, a developer uses one gateway. It lists models from U.S. companies including OpenAI and Anthropic alongside products from Chinese developers such as Alibaba, DeepSeek, Moonshot, MiniMax and Zhipu.

WorldClaw customers can pay for model access in USD1, and some plans can be reached by locking WLFI tokens. USD1 is the fifth-largest dollar-backed stablecoin as of Tuesday, with $4 billion in circulation, according to CoinGecko data.

USD1 turns over about $700 million in a typical day, half of it swapped against Tether's USDT, the largest stablecoin. Little of that volume represents the token being spent on goods or services.

WorldClaw's own terms describe World Liberty's role as limited, saying WorldClaw alone provides the service, that World Liberty does not manage or control its operations, and that the relationship runs through the licensing of certain trademarks.
