US President Donald Trump is considering pardoning up to 250 people to commemorate the 250th anniversary of American independence, the WSJ reported. According to the report, a formal announcement is likely to be made on June 14 (Trump's birthday) or during the Independence Day celebration on July 4. Currently, there are expectations in the cryptocurrency industry for pardons for figures such as FTX founder Sam Bankman-Fried (SBF) and Samourai Wallet developer Keonne Rodriguez. Meanwhile, Trump has already pardoned BitMEX co-founders, Binance founder Changpeng Zhao (CZ), and Silk Road operator Ross Ulbricht.
