The Wall Street Journal reported that former U.S. President Donald Trump is considering pardoning up to 250 people in commemoration of the 250th anniversary of American independence. According to the report, a formal announcement is likely to come on June 14 (Trump's birthday) or during the July 4th Independence Day celebrations. Currently, in the cryptocurrency industry, expectations for pardons are being raised for individuals such as FTX founder Sam Bankman-Fried (SBF) and Samourai Wallet developer Keonne Rodriguez. Meanwhile, Trump has previously pardoned BitMEX co-founders, Binance founder Changpeng Zhao (CZ), and Silk Road operator Ross Ulbricht.
