Trump crypto bank backed by Abu Dhabi

The Trump family's cryptocurrency bank is reportedly backed by Sheikh Tahnoun bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Abu Dhabi's national security adviser.

Tahnoun is among the leading investors in the new US bank, according to reports.

The involvement of a senior UAE official raises questions about foreign influence in US financial institutions.

The bank is part of the Trump family's broader business ventures in the cryptocurrency space.
