A Wall Street Journal investigation has triggered fresh controversy in Washington after revealing that Sheikh Tahnoon bin Zayed Al Nahyan, the UAE’s powerful national security adviser, quietly acquired a major stake in a crypto firm linked to the Trump family. Often referred to as the “spy sheikh”, Tahnoon is one of the most influential figures in the Gulf, overseeing vast sovereign wealth networks and shaping the UAE’s global strategic outreach.
According to the report, Tahnoon bought 49 percent of World Liberty Financial, a crypto company backed by the Trump and Witkoff families. The deal was signed by Eric Trump just days before Donald Trump’s presidential inauguration, with over $150 million reportedly flowing to Trump- and Witkoff-linked entities. World Liberty Financial is also behind the USD1 stablecoin, pegged to the US dollar and backed by US Treasury assets.
Critics argue the deal goes far beyond crypto. Following high-level meetings involving Tahnoon, Trump and Steve Witkoff, the US approved UAE access to advanced American-made AI chips, previously blocked over China-related security concerns. US lawmakers, including Senator Elizabeth Warren, have called the arrangement deeply troubling. While all parties deny wrongdoing, the episode highlights the growing intersection of money, technology, geopolitics and political power.
