Trump-linked World Liberty Financial has expanded its stablecoin reach through a partnership with Hong Kong-based AI platform WorldClaw. The arrangement gives WorldClaw users access to Chinese and American AI models while allowing payment through USD1. Meanwhile, the relationship raises questions about technology access and links involving companies facing U.S. restrictions across sensitive technology markets today.
WorldClaw offers about 90 models through its WorldRouter service, including 43 developed by Chinese companies. Those models include systems from Alibaba, Baidu, and Z.ai, while American providers include OpenAI and Anthropic across different commercial applications. Additionally, WorldRouter gives users access to models from DeepSeek and Moonshot, expanding its range of available AI systems.
WorldClaw accepts World Liberty Financial’s USD1 stablecoin for payments across its services online. However, the companies have not disclosed the financial terms governing their relationship or payments under the arrangement. World Liberty’s connection also extends through executive Ryan Fang, who advises WorldClaw on USD1 adoption and business partnerships involving users.
U.S. Restrictions Add Pressure To Model Access
Several Chinese developers available through WorldClaw face scrutiny or restrictions from U.S. authorities directly. The Pentagon has designated Alibaba and Baidu as Chinese military-linked companies, while Commerce Department restrictions affect Z.ai. Consequently, their presence on a single platform creates a complex link between U.S. users and restricted Chinese technology providers.
WorldClaw also offers DeepSeek and Moonshot models, which have faced allegations from U.S. officials involving intellectual property practices. Chinese authorities and affected companies have disputed those allegations and rejected claims of technology theft involving American developers. Nevertheless, access through a platform can differ from direct commercial dealings with restricted entities today.
U.S. individuals and companies can generally use Chinese AI models through available services. However, specific rules can restrict certain transactions involving companies placed on government lists and related entities. Therefore, the legal position can depend on the transaction, service structure, entity involved, and applicable U.S. restrictions.
World Liberty And WorldClaw Defend The Arrangement
WorldClaw says model access does not amount to support or approval of the companies that develop those systems. The platform also operates independently from World Liberty, according to its public position and stated business structure. Meanwhile, WorldClaw says it helps American AI companies reach customers beyond the United States.
World Liberty has defended the arrangement by pointing to broader industry practices involving multiple AI providers. The company says major American technology firms also offer access to both Chinese and American models through similar platforms. Additionally, the White House has rejected concerns about conflicts involving President Trump and World Liberty publicly.
WorldRouter reports more than 10,000 users and handles over 50 million requested tasks each day. Its privacy policy says user inputs may reach companies that provide the underlying models, depending on service requests. However, WorldClaw says it applies privacy and security measures across the platform as it manages those requests overall.
