1. Eric Trump on TOKEN2049: “It Was a Great a Great Honor”

Eric Trump shared moments from TOKEN2049 on his X account, saying it was a great honor to participate.

During his speech at the conference, Trump criticized the traditional banking system, calling the SWIFT payment system “broken.” He said banks could go extinct in 10 years if they don’t adopt crypto.

Speaking about crypto policy and adoption in the United Arab Emirates, Trump stated that countries that move fast will win the race.

In another post, he announced he will also take part in The Bitcoin Conference, scheduled for May 27-29 in Las Vegas.

2. Elizabeth Warren Accuses Trump Family of Using Crypto for Corruption  

US Senator Elizabeth Warren has criticized a recent deal between Donald Trump’s crypto project, World Liberty Financial (WLF), and UAE-based investment firm MGX.

Under the deal, MGX uses WLF’s USD1 stablecoin for a $2 billion investment in Binance. Warren claims WLF will earn a cut from the transaction and says the move “looks and smells like corruption.”

She also accused the US Senate of enabling the Trump family to profit from stablecoin fees rather than stepping in to prevent it.

Warren urged lawmakers to vote against the GENIUS Act, a proposed regulatory framework for stablecoins, arguing it would pave the way for more corruption.

3. Aztec Launches Public Testnet, CEO Zatoshi Shares His Vision

Ethereum-based privacy network Aztec launched its public testnet on May 1, 2025. Co-founder and CEO Zatoshi (@Zac_Aztec) announced the update, reflecting on the company’s 8-year journey and future goals.

Zatoshi shared that he founded Aztec in 2017 to connect blockchains with real-world data. Over time, he delved into zero-knowledge cryptography and published related research.

Today, the team includes 70 members. According to the CEO, Aztec’s ongoing mission is to remain useful and impactful.

4. Google Wallet to Use ZK Proofs for ID Verification – Wei Dai Raises Questions

Google Wallet’s new age verification feature uses Zero-Knowledge Proofs (ZKPs) to confirm a user’s age without linking it to their identity. Google announced it will partner with apps like Buble for digital ID verification.

However, crypto researcher and investor Wei Dai (@_weidai) pointed out the lack of information on what type of ZKP Google is using.

According to Dai, this shows how ZK hype is going mainstream beyond crypto – and that even average crypto projects often publish more detailed documentation than Google did.

5. Kiyosaki Says The Big Print Shows Why We Need Gold, Silver, and Bitcoin

Robert Kiyosaki, author of Rich Dad Poor Dad, recently posted about The Big Print – a book by Bitcoin advocate and investment manager Lawrence Lepard.

In his post, Kiyosaki shared quotes from the book that talk about growing wealth inequality, societal problems, and a broken monetary system. He said he agrees with Lepard’s views and explained that both of them invest in gold, silver, and Bitcoin for the same reasons.

Kiyosaki, who frequently analyzes financial topics in his writings, mentioned that he and Lepard write for similar reasons, both investing in gold, silver, and Bitcoin. 

At the end of his tweet, Kiyosaki reiterated his previously shared opinion that people must be prepared for a global crisis to prosper, rather than panic.
