BlockBeats News, February 25 — FTX founder SBF posted a message and tagged Trump, stating, “The Cryptocurrency Market Structure Act (also known as the CLARITY Act) will be a significant milestone in the history of cryptocurrency development and a major achievement of President Trump.” “I once actively promoted a similar bill aimed at freeing cryptocurrencies from the control of SEC Chair Gary Gensler, but Gensler instead helped Biden’s Department of Justice send me to prison.”
Imprisoned SBF is now launching a futile effort to seek a presidential pardon. Trump pardoned SBF’s cellmate, former Honduran President Juan Orlando Hernández, on December 2 last year. Since then, SBF has frequently tweeted in support of Trump’s policies, trying to curry favor and seek clemency or reduced sentence. In fact, SBF’s family has been openly lobbying Trump since early 2025 and actively arranging meetings with his allies. However, a White House spokesperson earlier today clearly stated that Trump has no intention of pardoning SBF.
BlockBeats Note: SBF is still in prison. This message was forwarded by a friend who has access to SBF’s account.
