Justin Sun Wins Court Ruling Against Trump-Linked Project
Justin Sun's individual claims against World Liberty Financial will remain in open court after a California federal judge rejected the Trump-linked project's request for arbitration and sealed proceedings.
The ruling maintains one of crypto's most contentious ongoing legal disputes, which has grown from a token-freezing dispute into a broader case questioning whether World Liberty and its USD1 stablecoin can actually cover their obligations.
Sun made the comments in a post on X after his counsel appeared in federal court in San Francisco to oppose World Liberty Financial's request for arbitration. The judge ruled that all of Sun's individual claims will remain in open court, but also ordered the parties to meet and confer over which company-related claims should stay in court and which could proceed through arbitration.
The dispute dates back to April, with Sun alleging that World Liberty froze his WLFI tokens, removed his governance rights, and threatened to burn the tokens. He is seeking hundreds of millions of dollars in damages.
