World Liberty Financial stated that Hong Kong AI Platform WorldClaw was not a business that it owned or operated, and that any models provided by the Platform were beyond its control. However, the company did not state whether the parties had an interest, financing, split or other economic relationship.
Platform claims to provide only payment corridors
World Liberty spokesman David Wachsman said to CoinDesk that WorldClaw was an independent company not owned or operated by World Liberty. According to him, the relationship was similar to other projects in the ecology using USD1 settlements, and World Liberty did not decide which AI models were on the platform.
The WorldClaw service clause also states that Platform services are provided by WorldClaw alone, that WorldLiberty does not manage its operations and that the relationship is mainly authorized by some trademarks. At the same time, the article indicates that residents, enterprises and citizens of the United States and China are not allowed to use the service. Wachsman also confirmed that WorldClaw is not open to U.S. users.
USD1 is used for AI model payments
The WorldClaw page shows that developers do not need to open separate accounts with model providers and can call OpenAI, Anthropic, and models from Ari Baba, DeepSeek, Moonshot, MiniMax, and Gentra.
The CoinGecko data show that US$ 4 billion, the fifth-largest dollar-stable currency, was in circulation as at Tuesday. The currency is sold at about $700 million a day, about half of which comes from the exchange with USDT. Reports indicate that the share of current transactions spent on real goods or services remains low.
The relationship remains undisclosed White
The controversy is not about whether WorldClaw uses USD1, but about World Liberty, which does not state whether the parties have deeper economic ties. CoinDesk states that when asked whether stockholding, financing support, income-sharing arrangements were involved, World Liberty did not disclose.
Such questions are not the first to arise. In April this year, CoinDesk reported that World Liberty had mortgaged tens of millions of dollars on a loan agreement with Dolomite in WLFI, leaving other depositors in the pool unable to draw on the money. Corey Caplan, co-founder of the agreement, is also a World Liberty consultant.
Additional information:Reuters data show that the Tromps hold 38 per cent of World Liberty and have earned over $1.4 billion through token sales. WorldRouter claims that there are more than 10,000 users and more than 50 million requests for daily treatment models, but CoinDesk states that these data have not been independently verified.
