How crypto has increased the Trump family's net worth
Read Original Source
President Trump's venture into crypto products has increased his family's wealth by billions in the last six months, according to a new report, as his administration continues to loosen the federal government's regulatory approach to the digital currency industry as a whole. The group State Democracy Defenders Action estimated in a new report that the president's crypto holdings now represent nearly 40% of his net worth — or approximately $2.9 billion.

Key Points:

- Much of the gain comes from the $TRUMP and $MELANIA meme coins and a large stake in World Liberty Financial.
- World Liberty Financial said an Abu Dhabi-backed firm will invest $2 billion in its stablecoin, which could further boost the Trump family’s wealth.
- Critics say Trump may be profiting from public office, while the White House and the company have pushed back on those concerns.
