A crypto firm linked to US President Donald Trump and his family, World Liberty Financial (WLFI), has taken action against a digital wallet project using the Trump name without permission.
Bloomberg reported on June 5 that WLFI sent a cease-and-desist letter to Fight Fight Fight LLC, the group behind Gettrumpmemes.com and the Official Trump (TRUMP) meme coin.
The legal warning came after the launch of a waitlist for a crypto wallet called "TrumpWallet", which was announced on June 3 by both the TRUMP token team and non-fungible token (NFT) platform Magic Eden.

The wallet, which featured Trump’s name, was promoted through the social media platform X and a website that allowed users to sign up for early access.
