‘Regular cycle’ disrupted? Hoskinson blames U.S. politics for crypto’s stall
Cardano’s Charles Hoskinson has criticized Trump’s involvement in the industry after nearly two years in office. In a recent interview with David Gokhshtein, Hoslinon contended that the cryptocurrency market is no longer propelled by its own technological advancement and uptake. Instead, it has become unduly reliant on American politics and regulation. Why is Hoskinson taking a jab at Trump? Hoskinson added his frustration, noting that what they consider to be a typical cryptocurrency market cycle has been repeatedly disrupted by political unpredictability in the United States. @media only screen and (min-width: 0px) and (min-height: 0px) { div[id^="bsa-zone_1774359638628-7_123456"] { min-height: 50px; transition: min-height 0.3s ease; } } @media only screen and (min-width: 640px) and (min-height: 0px) { div[id^="bsa-zone_1774359638628-7_123456"] { min-height: 90px; } } AD He believes investors spent much of their time reacting to policy uncertainty. Key questions included whether the U.S. would pass comprehensive crypto legislation, how tariff or monetary policies would affect risk assets, and whether the Trump administration would continue supporting the industry. As a result, investors were focused less on anticipating a typical bull market and more on navigating shifting macro and political signals. Hoskinson added, If you took the United States out of it, we would have had a regular cycle and actually had an alt season in 2025. Trump’s personal gains from his crypto venture Additionally, Cardano’s co-founder also raised issues regarding political polarization. This comes as Trump recently revealed that his cryptocurrency investments have surpassed traditional ventures as his largest source of income. The main reason for this was the explosive growth of family-backed cryptocurrency projects, which in 2025 brought in over $1.4 billion in reported revenue. Almost $600 million of that was obtained through World Liberty Financial’s [WLFI] token sale. Additionally, the Official TRUMP [TRUMP] memecoin generated about $636 million despite its price dropping from $74.24 at its peak to $1.67 at press time. Yet despite this, Hoskinon believes, They’re going to punish crypto for that. They’re not going to push Trump because they can’t. They’re going to push crypto. Hoskinson is not the only one riding the boat Moving further in the conversation, Hoskinons dubbed this period as “Gensler 2.0,” raising the prospect of another regulatory crackdown akin to the one that was launched against Gary Gensler. Needless to say, Hoskinson is not the only one in this criticism. Back in 2024, Vitalik Buterin, a co-founder of Ethereum, warned against selecting political candidates purely based on whether they had taken a “pro-crypto” stance. He said, By publicly giving the impression that you support ‘pro-crypto’ candidates just because they are ‘pro-crypto’, you are helping to create an incentive gradient where politicians come to understand that all they need to get your support is to support ‘crypto.’ This occurs while legal and administrative obstacles stand in the way of Trump’s strategic plan for a BTC reserve. Officials are now questioning whether the U.S. Treasury has the legal authority to hold and manage the government’s Bitcoin [BTC], despite the reserve’s original intention to be managed by the department. Final Summary Charles Hoskinson calls out Trump’s involvement in crypto, especially after his financial disclosure. Vitalik Buterin was another one to call the shots at pro-crypto leaders back when the election was ripe.
Bitcoin stalls as open interest decline raises questions about rally's staying power
Back to the list Bitcoin stalls as open interest decline raises questions about rally's staying power coindesk.com 2 m Bitcoin $BTC$63,214.40 stalled on Tuesday, falling for the first time this month and breaking the longest stretch of gains since March. It had rallied to $64,500, its highest point in more than two weeks, on Monday. Ether ($ETH) tracked the larger cryptocurrency, dropping to $1,770 after hitting a high of $1,830 on Monday. The July recovery can be attributed to a short-squeeze setup that was identified in late June, which saw heavy short interest despite bitcoin trading at its lowest point since 2024. Bitcoin and other crypto tokens capitalized on a skew in short positions, recovering from oversold territory and advancing every day since the start of the month. The total crypto market has grown by 8.4% since July 1, and is now worth $2.16 trillion. U.S. equities fell in pre-market trading on Tuesday, with Nasdaq 100 index futures losing 0.9% since midnight UTC as the decline from June's record high continues. Derivatives positioning Over $500 million in leveraged crypto futures bets have been liquidated by exchanges in 24 hours, with shorts, or bearish positions, accounting for most of the tally for a sixth straight day. Despite the recent price strength, $BTC's futures open interest (OI) has slipped to 740K $BTC, down from the July 3 high of 776K $BTC. This shows that derivative traders are not participating in the price rise alongside a continued weakness in spot demand, as evidenced from ETF flows and the Coinbase premium. This raises questions about the sustainability of the gains. The same is true for ether ($ETH), which recently outperformed $BTC. OI in SOL has pulled back to 68 million tokens from the peak of over 76 million on June 24. The message is the same. The 10% rise in the token has so far failed to galvanize demand for leveraged plays. Canton Network's CC token has declined by over 4% in 24 hours accompanied by a 3% uptick in the futures OI to 245.59 million tokens. This, coupled with negative funding rates and 24-hour OI-adjusted cumulative volume delta, points to a growing bearish bias. Most tokens have a negative OI-adjusted CVD, a sign of bears being more aggressive by shorting at market orders rather than passive limit order plays. It suggests potential for losses ahead. Bitcoin's 30-day implied volatility index, BVIV, has jumped to 40%, snapping a six-day losing streak. Still, the gauge remains well below January highs near 60% in a positive sign for crypto bulls. The same is true for ether's index, EVIV. On Deribit, options continue to showcase lingering downside concerns in both bitcoin and ether. Options volume in $BTC paints a mixed picture with both calls and puts making it to the list of top traded bets in the past 24 hours. On decentralized exchange Derive, a large long call condor strategy on HYPE crossed the tape, indicating expectations for a range play between $75 and $80 till July 24. Token talk The altcoin market continues to show internal contradictions. Tokens like FET, KASPA and WLD have all posted losses despite the broader marketwide recovery this week, while ETHFI and LIT have outperformed, adding more than 30% over the past seven days. WLFI$0.06025 was one of the top-performing tokens on Tuesday, rising 4.8. It's worth noting that the token, linked to the family of President Donald Trump, is down by more than 89% since it was created last August. The decoupling of some altcoins demonstrates a maturing of the sector, with token performance based on underlying sentiment and onchain activity. Historically, the entire altcoin market moved in unison. CoinMarketCap's Altcoin Season indicator is at 46/100, below Friday's high and higher than in May, when it was consistently around 30/100.

Trump Memecoin Crash Wipes Out $3.8B From Retail Buyers, Nansen Data Shows
Nansen found 988,905 $TRUMP buyers lost $3.81B as retail exposure deteriorated fast. $TRUMP fell 97% from its $75.35 peak as late buyers carried severe market losses. Trump disclosed $636M from $TRUMP amid $1.4B in wider crypto earnings last year. Nearly one million $TRUMP memecoin buyers lost $3.81 billion by the end of June, according to Nansen data reported by The New York Times. The analysis found that 988,905 wallets recorded losses, equal to roughly two out of every three buyers. Analytical Data Displays Heavy Retail Losses Nansen based its analysis on transactions visible on the blockchain, where crypto purchases and wallet activity can be tracked publicly. The data covered accounts that bought President Donald Trump’s $TRUMP memecoin. those 988,905 wallets lost money either through realized losses or paper losses. Some buyers still held their tokens as the coin traded far below its peak. The $TRUMP coin traded at $1.76 on Friday, down 97% from its peak of $75.35. That sharp decline came after the token launched three days before Trump’s inauguration in 2025. Trump Reports $636M From $TRUMP Coin Trump’s recent financial disclosure showed that he made $636 million from the $TRUMP memecoin. That amount accounted for nearly half of the $1.4 billion he made from the crypto industry last year. Trump had also co-founded World Liberty Financial with his sons before the memecoin launch. Its $WLFI token has also fallen sharply in value, according to the text cited in the report. The central question now is simple: who gained while nearly one million wallets recorded losses? The New York Times also reported that a little under 500,000 wallets recorded $4 billion in profits from $TRUMP. Nansen said that figure reflected early buyers capturing large gains while most retail buyers absorbed losses. Related: Trump Crypto Fortune Tops $1.4B as Political Backlash Grows White House Rejects Claims Of Harm Nicholas Pinto, a frequent crypto trader who voted for Trump in 2024, told The New York Times he invested about $500,000 in $TRUMP. He said he has lost about half that amount. Pinto said Trump appeared trustworthy to the public while launching currencies. He described the situation as “almost a legal scam” in his interview with the newspaper. The White House rejected any suggestion that Trump gained at the expense of his followers. Anna Kelly, a White House spokesperson, said Trump “proudly made the United States the crypto capital of the world.” Kelly also said all actions by Trump and his administration serve the interests of the American people. A representative for the $TRUMP memecoin venture did not respond to a request for comment. David Wachsman, linked the decline in $WLFI to broader market pressure across crypto assets. “No one can control the markets,” he said. Wachsman added that World Liberty stood behind WLFI as a governance token. He said the token had gained utility in a growing ecosystem since launch. Under the Trump administration, the Securities and Exchange Commission said it would not regulate memecoins as securities. It also dropped several lawsuits against crypto companies. Research shows that the $TRUMP memecoin left most buyers nursing steep losses while early traders and Trump recorded major gains. The figures add scrutiny to Trump’s crypto ventures as regulators under his administration ease pressure on the industry. For retail investors, the episode shows how fast-moving meme coins can shift profits upward and leave late buyers badly exposed again. Tags Trump Coin News
Nearly 1 Million Trump Coin Investors Lost $3.8 Billion, While Trump Made $1.4 Billion
Story Highlights Nearly one million TRUMP memecoin investors collectively lost over $3.81 billion after the token collapsed. Trump reported more than $1.4 billion in crypto income through memecoin and blockchain ventures. TRUMP token has crashed 97% from its $75 peak, wiping out billions in investor wealth. Nearly one million investors who bought Donald Trump’s official TRUMP memecoin have now lost a combined $3.81 billion, making it one of the biggest retail losses in recent crypto history. Meanwhile, Donald Trump himself reported earning more than $1.4 billion from his family’s crypto businesses during 2025. This has raised concerns among investors as retail buyers suffered billions in losses while the project founders earned billions. Nearly Two Out of Three Investors Lost Money In Trump Coin According to a report from blockchain , around 988,905 investors who purchased the TRUMP memecoin were in a loss by the end of June 2026. Together, these investors have lost around $3.81 billion, including both realized losses and paper losses from people still holding the token.

As of now, the TRUMP token trades around $1.69, down nearly 97% from its all-time high of $75, reached shortly after its launch. Early Traders Made Billions While Retail Investors Paid The Price According to Nansen, the project heavily favored early buyers. Around 500,000 crypto wallets reportedly made nearly $4 billion in profits by purchasing the token early and selling before the price collapsed. Meanwhile, nearly one million other wallets absorbed most of the losses after entering the market later, once the hype had already spread across social media. As the , “a small number of early buyers captured enormous gains while the broad retail majority absorbed the losses.” Trump’s Crypto Income Crossed $1.4 Billion While investors watched the token collapse, Trump’s latest financial disclosure showed that his crypto ventures generated more than $1.43 billion in income during 2025. The filing includes around $635 million from the TRUMP memecoin through Celebration Cards LLC, along with more than $500 million earned from World Liberty Financial, the crypto company launched by his family. THE BIGGEST ANNOUNCEMENT IN NEWSLETTER HISTORY, folks! I am writing the FULL article on Donald's 900-page disclosure — every scheme, every dollar, every "coincidence" — and I'm explaining ALL of it so even the hedge fund Super Geniuses can follow along! THE MEMECOIN: $635… — Donald Trump Portfolio Tracker (@TrumpsPortfolio) July 5, 2026 Overall, Trump’s business ventures generated at least $2.2 billion last year, with crypto becoming one of his biggest income sources. World Liberty Investors Also Faced Losses The losses were not limited to the TRUMP token. Other Trump-linked crypto projects, including WLFI, ABTC, and MELANIA, have also suffered massive price declines, with some falling more than 90% from their highs. Although Trump reportedly earned around $799 million from the project, the WLFI token now trades roughly 82% below its peak. The White House has denied any conflict of interest, saying Trump’s businesses are held in a trust managed by his sons and that the President is not involved in his personal financial operations.
Data: Nearly 1 million wallets holding TRUMP meme coins are in loss, with total accumulated losses around $3.81 billions.
BlockBeats news, on July 5, according to on-chain data, since the official Meme coin TRUMP launched in January 2025, approximately 1.48 million wallets that purchased the token, 988,900 of them (about two-thirds) were at a loss as of the end of June, with total realized and unrealized losses of around $3.81 billion. Data shows that only 492,300 wallets made a profit, with total realized gains of about $4.04 billion. The profits were mainly concentrated among early participants who bought during the initial distribution phase at prices below $1. Calculating across all holding wallets, the overall net profit is about $236 million. According to reports, Trump's recently disclosed annual financial report shows that he earned about $636 million in income from the TRUMP Meme coin, with his total crypto-related revenue in 2025 exceeding $1.4 billion. In addition, Nansen's analysis of the Trump family's DeFi project World Liberty Financial’s governance token WLFI shows that among the 26,663 wallets that bought WLFI on the secondary market, about 85% have recorded losses, with total losses around $83 million, while cumulative profits are about $23 million.
Trump earned $636 million from TRUMP token, investors faced $3.8 billion losses, Nansen data shows
Blockchain analytics firm Nansen has revealed that former US President Donald Trump’s official memecoin project, TRUMP, generated $636 million in revenue for Trump himself, while investors collectively incurred far larger losses. Comparisons between Nansen’s on-chain data and disclosures from Trump’s 2025 financial report illustrate the stark gap between his gains and the heavy losses suffered by token buyers. Wallet data highlights steep investor losses Revenue model remained resilient despite price declines WLFI investors saw similar patterns Ethics debate intensifies in Washington Wallet data highlights steep investor losses According to Nansen’s estimates, as of the end of June, 988,905 wallets had collectively posted $3.81 billion in losses related to TRUMP. This figure includes realized losses as well as paper losses that have yet to be crystallized, since many tokens are still held in investor wallets and have not been sold. The company’s analysis shows that approximately two-thirds of wallets holding TRUMP are in the red. Meanwhile, a smaller group holding fewer than 500,000 wallets realized around $4 billion in profits. Nansen found that the bulk of these gains belonged to early buyers and automated trading systems that positioned themselves ahead of the price rally and later sold to new entrants at elevated prices. While roughly two-thirds of wallets holding TRUMP ended up with losses, most profits went to early buyers and automated trading systems, Nansen reported. On Friday, CoinMarketCap data showed TRUMP trading at around $1.76, roughly 97% below its record high of $75.35 reached on January 19, 2025. The token was launched just three days before Trump’s second presidential inauguration, accompanied by a Truth Social campaign urging supporters to join the community. Revenue model remained resilient despite price declines Retail investors’ profits depended solely on the token’s price appreciating. However, Trump’s own earnings were not strictly tied to price gains. Revenue streams from token transaction fees allowed him to profit regardless of whether the token price rose or fell—one of the main structural reasons for the divergence between Trump’s gains and the losses faced by investors. Trump’s financial disclosure indicates he declared at least $1.4 billion in crypto-related income over the year, representing more than half of his reported $2.2 billion in total revenues. Of this, $635 million stemmed from memecoin royalties, $527 million from World Liberty Financial (WLFI) token sales, and about $263 million from stakes in related companies. Mini Glossary: A memecoin is a type of crypto asset driven largely by community interest, internet culture, and high-profile figures, often with limited real-world utility. A paper loss occurs when an asset’s value falls below the purchase price but hasn’t been sold, reflecting an unrealized loss on paper. WLFI investors saw similar patterns Nansen observed a similar situation with World Liberty Financial (WLFI), detecting that 85% of the 26,663 wallets tracked posted around $83 million in losses. In comparison, the wallets that turned a profit collectively gained just $23 million. The company warned that actual losses may exceed reported figures, as many transactions on exchanges are not fully traceable with on-chain data. WLFI traded at about $0.056 according to CoinMarketCap, marking an 88% decline from its September 2025 peak. One TRUMP investor, Nicholas Pinto, said he invested approximately $500,000 after backing Trump in the 2024 election, but has lost about half of it. Referring to the project, Pinto described it as “almost a legal scam.” Ethics debate intensifies in Washington Speaking to CNBC, Trump said he was unaware that his crypto ventures had generated at least $1.4 billion, that he could learn the exact figure if he wished, and that there was nothing wrong with profiting from digital assets. Trump added that he had no plans to withdraw his family from involvement in these enterprises. White House spokesperson Anna Kelly, meanwhile, asserted that Trump had turned the US into “the world’s crypto capital” and had acted in the country’s interests. Senator Kirsten Gillibrand emphasized the need for ethical boundaries to prevent presidents, Congressional members, and their families from profiting off digital assets due to their positions. The revelations have surfaced as the Senate nears finalizing legislation to regulate the structure of the crypto market. Senator Kirsten Gillibrand renewed calls for ethical rules barring the president, Congressional members, and their families from personal financial gain through digital assets. Gillibrand is also a co-sponsor of the End Crypto Corruption Act, introduced by Senator Jeff Merkley and supported by 19 Democratic senators. Senators Elizabeth Warren, Ruben Gallego, and Angela Alsobrooks also voiced similar concerns. Senate Banking Committee Chair Tim Scott is pushing for a floor vote before the August recess.
WLFI Price Prediction: Is Trump’s Crypto Built for Long-Term Growth?
Back to the list WLFI Price Prediction: Is Trump’s Crypto Built for Long-Term Growth? coinedition.com 29 m World Liberty Financial’s ($WLFI) token is projected to reach $0.2241 by 2030, representing a potential 298.79% gain from current levels. Despite the bullish outlook, investors remain divided over whether the President Donald J. Trump-backed cryptocurrency can achieve sustainable growth amid evolving regulation, adoption trends, and market conditions. $WLFI Price Prediction Signals Short-Term Decline in 2026 According to CoinCodex’s latest models, updated July 4, 2026, $WLFI is forecasted to reach approximately $0.04623 by the end of 2026. This represents a -17.88% decline compared to current rates. Meanwhile, these bearish signals align with overall technical indicators. Fear & Greed Index is at 22, indicating Extreme Fear and overall market sentiment is bearish. Its volatility is approximately 2.42%, and the token has experienced just 47% green days in the last 30 days. $WLFI also trades below its 50-day SMA at $0.05919 and well below its 200-day SMA at $0.1000, while the 14-day RSI stands at a neutral 43.42. Factors Driving $WLFI Price Outlook Several interconnected factors shape $WLFI’s price trajectory in 2026, combining project execution, tokenomics, political exposure, and macro trends. From stablecoin adoption to regulatory milestones and supply management, these elements create a volatile yet high-stakes outlook for the Trump-backed governance token. Trump family involvement acts as a double-edged sword, fueling visibility and potential tailwinds while sparking ethics debates and negative retail sentiment. With significant holdings and reported profit shares exceeding $1B, disclosures have intensified scrutiny, contributing to selling pressure and relative underperformance versus the broader market. Additionally, the tokenomics aspect is extremely important. $WLFI has a maximum supply of 100 billion tokens, with roughly 31–32 billion currently in circulation. More than 62 billion tokens are expected to unlock over time, raising concerns about potential dilution. Can the Trump-backed Crypto Reach $0.2241 by 2030? $WLFI could surge to $0.2241 by the end of 2030 representing nearly +300% growth.This long-term $WLFI price outlook depends on the expansion of the World Liberty Financial ecosystem. At press time, $WLFI trades at $0.05635, down 1.3% in the last 24 hours. The increasing usage of the USD1 stablecoin, upcoming Real World Asset (RWA) products, cross-chain connectivity, and fee-funded token buybacks could drive demand. A more positive regulatory landscape and widespread institutional adoption could also help drive higher valuations through 2030. Even so, investors should weigh the risks alongside the bullish case. Large token unlocks, regulatory scrutiny, political controversy surrounding the Trump family’s involvement, and intense competition across the DeFi sector could slow adoption. Ultimately, reaching the $0.2241 level would require strong execution, favorable macro conditions, and genuine ecosystem growth rather than reliance on branding alone. As with all cryptocurrencies, such projections carry high uncertainty and volatility.

The New York Times: About one million investors in Trump-themed tokens have collectively lost $3.81 billion
ChainCatcher news, according to The New York Times, by the end of June, nearly 1 million investors had participated in various Trump-themed token investments, with a cumulative loss reaching 3.81 billion US dollars. Cryptocurrency analytics firm Nansen analyzed the trading mechanism and stated that the fee distribution rule for these tokens enables Trump to profit in both upward and downward market trends, with the main source of income coming from ongoing transaction fees.
New York Times: Nearly One Million Investors Lose $3.81 Billion in Trump-Themed Tokens
On July 4, the New York Times reported that a recent analysis revealed that by the end of June, nearly one million investors had cumulatively lost about $3.81 billion in investments related to Trump-themed meme coins. Crypto analytics firm Nansen stated that the trading mechanisms of these tokens allowed Trump to profit from both price fluctuations, as his earnings primarily came from transaction fees and ongoing market trading activities. Additionally, the promotion of these tokens on the social platform Truth Social further amplified trading volumes. Data shows that during his 2024 campaign, Trump shifted from being a 'crypto skeptic' to embracing the commercialization of digital assets, co-founding the crypto project World Liberty Financial with his children, which issued the $WLFI token that also experienced significant declines. Furthermore, the TRUMP token launched just days before his inauguration has been described as a 'speculative asset lacking practical use' and has already undergone a noticeable correction.
Anti-crypto activist Peter Schiff harshly criticizes Donald Trump’s memecoins! Here are the details
Peter Schiff, a well-known critic of the cryptocurrency market, made harsh statements regarding the memecoins TRUMP and MELANIA, which are associated with US President Donald Trump. Schiff argued that these tokens functioned more as a “bribery tool” than a legitimate investment vehicle, suggesting that the primary purpose of these projects was to attract Donald Trump’s attention and interest. In a podcast interview, Schiff claimed that a large portion of investors who bought TRUMP and MELANIA tokens lost money. According to him, these memecoins are more about gaining political influence and connections than creating market value. Schiff specifically interpreted Trump’s hosting of an event at the White House for major investors in the memecoin as a strong indication that the tokens were being used as an indirect means of “profit-making.” Schiff, known for his anti-crypto views, argued that the real beneficiaries of this process were the Trump family. According to the analyst, the revenue from token sales benefited Trump’s inner circle, while a significant portion of ordinary investors who invested in the project suffered substantial losses. On the other hand, previous news reports, based on Trump’s financial statements, alleged that Trump earned over $1 billion from the sale of various crypto assets, including the TRUMP token and World Liberty Financial (WLFI). These claims further fueled debates about the political and ethical dimensions of Trump-linked crypto projects. Schiff’s statements have reignited discussions about the speculative nature of the memecoin market and the risks associated with crypto projects linked to political figures. Experts emphasize that investors in such tokens should pay attention not only to price movements but also to the project’s structure, token economics, and potential conflicts of interest.
Ross Gerber said nearly 1.5 million wallets lost money in Trump-linked crypto projects as TRUMP token plunged 97% from its peak
Veteran investor Ross Gerber has strongly criticized former US President Donald Trump’s crypto ventures, arguing that a significant number of investors in Trump-linked digital assets have suffered losses, while Trump himself has reaped hundreds of millions of dollars from these projects. Wallet data raise concerns Sharp decline in the TRUMP token Calls for tighter regulation intensify Wallet data raise concerns Pointing to Wall Street Journal data, Gerber said that about two-thirds of the wallets holding the Official Trump (TRUMP) meme coin are currently showing losses on paper, representing roughly 1.48 million crypto wallets. According to the report, as many as 85% of those who bought World Liberty Financial’s WLFI token on the secondary market are also in the red. Gerber referred to this situation as the “Trump crypto scam,” claiming that more than one million people have lost money. Ross Gerber argued that Trump-linked crypto projects have harmed more than a million investors and eroded confidence in the market. However, it’s important to note that the number of wallets does not correspond one-to-one with the number of individual investors. One person may control multiple wallets, and some wallets may be shared by several users. Therefore, the wallet figures should not be interpreted as a direct count of investors. Sharp decline in the TRUMP token Launched in January 2025, the Official Trump token experienced one of the most volatile boom and bust cycles in the crypto market. Driven by a surge of interest from retail investors, the token’s market capitalization briefly soared to about $15 billion. Following a sharp pullback, it lost approximately 97% of its value, dropping to a market cap of $404 million.

He believes these initiatives not only harm the associated tokens but also undermine confidence in the broader digital assets market, including Bitcoin. According to Gerber, tokens launched with strong political connections reinforce perceptions of insider advantage and leave retail investors vulnerable to heavy losses. Calls for tighter regulation intensify US Senator Elizabeth Warren is also calling for stricter crypto regulations to prevent elected officials and their families from profiting from digital asset ventures while in office. Warren argues that politicians involved in crypto projects present potential conflicts of interest and that stronger safeguards are needed. Elizabeth Warren maintains that tougher measures are necessary to prevent politicians and their families from earning income from digital asset projects while in office. At the heart of the debate is the relationship between political influence and high-risk digital asset projects. Recent figures show that many investors purchasing tokens on secondary markets have suffered losses, increasing the likelihood that Washington will ramp up calls for greater regulation in the sector.
New Federal Data Reveals Donald Trump Holds $50 Million in Bitcoin in Cold Wallet
A newly released federal financial disclosure has revealed that US President Donald Trump holds more than $50 million worth of Bitcoin in a cold wallet. According to a 927-page document released by the US Office of Government Ethics, the Bitcoin is held under CIC Digital LLC as a “Cryptocurrency Wallet Virtual Bitcoin Key (held in cold wallet)” and is worth “Over $50,000,000,” the highest reporting category available on the form. Because the disclosure does not require an exact figure above that threshold, the actual value of the BTC holdings could be higher. Trump’s BTC Stash The filing shows that the Bitcoin is held in the Donald J. Trump Revocable Trust, with Trump listed as the sole beneficiary. The trust also controls his stake in Trump Media & Technology Group, the parent company of Truth Social. Interestingly, the BTC is stored in cold storage, meaning the private keys are kept offline rather than on internet-connected systems or with a third-party exchange, a setup widely used to reduce online security risks. The filing shows that Bitcoin is only one part of the digital assets held by CIC Digital LLC. It also lists an Ethereum wallet, which is worth between $5 million and $25 million, a staked Ethereum position through a Coinbase staking agreement that generated $510,808 in validator rewards, a USDC stablecoin holding worth between $5 million and $25 million, and a smaller dollar-denominated wallet. Based on the reported valuation ranges, the combined disclosed value of the Bitcoin and Ethereum holdings alone stands above $100 million. The same disclosure also reveals the scale of Trump’s crypto-related earnings during the reporting period. It states that World Liberty Financial (WLFI) generated more than $500 million from the sale of governance tokens and other crypto products, while CIC Digital LLC generated more than $635 million from sales of Trump-branded meme coins launched shortly before his inauguration. Overall, Trump’s crypto earnings exceeded $1 billion during his first year back in office. White House Rejects Conflict Claims The disclosure has drawn significant scrutiny, to which White House spokesperson Anna Kelly responded that neither Trump nor his family has engaged in, nor will they engage in, conflicts of interest. She added, “All actions by President Trump and his administration are taken in the best interest of the American people – and any so-called ‘reporters’ pushing otherwise are recycling the same, tired, false narrative that Democrats and the legacy media have been pushing for a decade”
Cryptocurrency holdings and returns for U.S. President Trump and JD Vance
US President Trump has earned a profit of 2.3 billion dollars from the crypto industry, including 500 million dollars with WLFI and 635 million dollars with TRUMP. The media company's legal settlement brought in 80 million dollars. Currently, he holds more than 100 million dollars in BTC and ETH. Vice President JD Vance holds 500 thousand dollars in BTC.

Trump reports over $1.4 billion in income from crypto ventures as outside investors lost billions
The Trump family’s crypto empire has been very, very good to the Trump family. A Reuters investigation published on June 9 found that the former president and his relatives have pulled in at least $2.3 billion from cryptocurrency ventures since late 2024, with the lion’s share coming from governance token sales through their decentralized finance platform, World Liberty Financial. Outside investors in these same projects lost roughly $2.3 billion. Where the money came from The biggest revenue engine was World Liberty Financial, a DeFi platform co-founded by members of the Trump family. The platform issued 30 billion governance tokens called WLFI, raising approximately $1.4 billion in the process. Advertisement window.sevioads = window.sevioads || []; var sevioads_preferences = []; sevioads_preferences[0] = {}; sevioads_preferences[0].zone = "de1434f5-fa9e-44a6-93c3-4c2439763717"; sevioads_preferences[0].adType = "banner"; sevioads_preferences[0].inventoryId = "c5700508-581b-472c-8fdd-a931cdbfc8e1"; sevioads_preferences[0].accountId = "1e47efc1-ec2d-4fca-a8b9-354e249e5095"; sevioads.push(sevioads_preferences); Roughly 75% of those revenues flowed to entities associated with the Trump family. That works out to about $987 million from World Liberty Financial alone, with additional revenue streams pushing the total above $1.4 billion from that single venture. The $TRUMP memecoin generated about $1.2 billion in sales, contributing an estimated $616 million to the family’s profits. A pattern of brand leverage, minimal risk These crypto projects were launched or significantly expanded around the 2024 presidential campaign, a period when Trump was actively promoting pro-crypto policies. Earlier financial disclosures in 2025 had shown Trump reporting $57 million from World Liberty token sales. The jump from $57 million to over $1.4 billion suggests either an enormous acceleration in sales activity or that earlier disclosures captured only a fraction of the full picture. The retail investor reckoning The most striking finding from Reuters’ investigation is the near-perfect inverse relationship between family profits and investor losses. Outside investors collectively lost about $2.3 billion across these projects, a figure that almost exactly mirrors what the Trump family earned. The value of both WLFI tokens and the $TRUMP memecoin declined sharply from their peaks, reflecting both broader crypto market volatility and the fundamental challenge of sustaining demand for tokens whose primary utility is association with a political figure.

WLFI Climbs to the Top 10 On-Chain Protocols By Revenue, Signaling Strong Demand
WLFI, the governance token of World Liberty Financial, the DeFi project backed by the Trump family, has faced severe bearish pressure since the beginning of 2026. According to TreadingView’s data, the cryptocurrency traded at $0.058 at the time of writing, reflecting approximately 70% loss since the beginning of the year. Notably, WLFI’s price has struggled despite the project’s notable revenue generation over the past 12 months. According to a Grayscale report, WLFI has climbed to the top 10 on-chain protocols by revenue. Source: Grayscale’s report reveals that World Liberty Financial generated $105 million in revenue in the past 12 months, reflecting a 17x growth and a strong demand signal. Meanwhile, the digital asset investment platform predicts that the potential passage of the CLARITY Act could attract investors to top DeFi protocols, including WLFI, and that the current price presents an attractive entry point. For context, WLFI’s price has entered a relatively new trend since the beginning of May. The cryptocurrency’s daily chart has formed a symmetrical triangle amid a progressive reduction in trading volume. Source: Typically, such a technical structure after a prolonged price decline suggests a potential turnaround. Hence, Grayscale’s prediction that an influx of investors could follow a fundamental catalyst, such as the passage of the CLARITY Act. However, it is worth noting that WLFI’s bearish trend has coincided with an overall decline in the broader cryptocurrency market, with leading crypto assets, such as Bitcoin and Ethereum, losing significant value. Meanwhile, for investors looking to buy WLFI tokens, it is necessary to understand the digital asset’s underlying qualities and the benefits. According to a Binance Smart Chain article, owning WLFI tokens gives investors only the right to participate in the WLF Protocol governance. It means that there are no dividends attached to the assets, and holders have no right to rewards, airdrops, or any other form of income. For clarity, World Liberty Financial (WLF), as a DeFi protocol, launched the WLFI governance token in October 2024 ahead of a token sale that raised $550 million. The project offered 20% of its total token supply at a fully diluted valuation of $1.5 billion. Surging demand prompted WLF to offer an additional 5% of its WLFI supply at a fully diluted valuation of $5 billion. As of the time of writing, WLFI traded at approximately $0.058, with a circulating supply of roughly 31.77 billion tokens and a market cap of approximately $1.85 billion, according to CoinMarketCap’s data. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); By participating in the WLF Protocol governance, WLFI holders can steer the platform’s future by proposing and voting on changes to protocol rules and parameters through the WLF Governance platform. However, WLFI’s utility from the USD1 stablecoin at its core, combined with actual governance and development, comprises the project’s standout qualities. The USD1 stablecoin is a fully reserved, dollar-pegged token for fast, affordable transactions on chains like Ethereum, Solana, and Tron. It has already handled billions in volume and serves both regular users and institutions. Meanwhile, WLFI holders must understand that each token represents one vote, and no single wallet or affiliated group may vote with more than 5% of the outstanding votable token supply, regardless of the total tokens held. That is WLF’s method to limit concentration control. Meanwhile, voting happens through Snapshot, an off-chain voting tool widely used in DeFi.

U.S. Senate Democrats call for hearing on UAE's $500 million investment in Trump crypto project, alleging policy favoritism
BlockBeats news, on June 24, five Democratic U.S. senators, including Elizabeth Warren and Richard Blumenthal, jointly sent a letter on June 23, requesting several Senate committees to immediately hold hearings regarding UAE officials investing $500 million in the Trump family's crypto project WLFI, to investigate whether this investment influenced subsequent Trump administration policy decisions concerning the UAE. According to the letter, representatives for the Abu Dhabi royal family signed an agreement with the Trump family to acquire a 49% stake in WLFI for $500 million, with the deal closing four days before Trump took office. The foreign buyers prepaid $218 million to entities related to the Trump family and Middle East Chief Diplomat Steve Witkoff. The deal was reportedly endorsed by UAE National Security Advisor Sheikh Tahnoon bin Zayed Al Nahyan. The senators described the move as "unprecedented in American political history." The policy direction following the completion of the transaction is drawing even more attention. The letter outlines that within months of the agreement, the Trump administration made a series of decisions obviously favorable to the UAE: approved $1.4 billion in arms sales to Abu Dhabi; the Treasury established an “Identified Investor Pilot” program, opening the fast-track CFIUS approval channel long sought by the UAE; the Commerce Department lifted Biden-era chip export restrictions, authorizing UAE AI company G42 to obtain 35,000 Nvidia Blackwell chips worth over $1 billion. However, U.S. intelligence officials reportedly discovered that G42 had previously provided American technology, which could enhance missile capabilities, to China. The senators demand Trump administration officials "explain, after being sworn in, when they became aware of payments made to the president and his chief regional diplomat's family" and clarify how public trust can be restored. So far, neither WLFI nor the UAE government has responded to the matter.

Donald Trump’s Crypto Project Levels Up With This Move
The Trump-linked crypto venture is making serious moves despite a multi-month downturn on the native token’s price. World Liberty Financial is reportedly very close to securing a federal trust bank charter from the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC). According to sources familiar with the process, approval is now widely expected, which would give the project a much more formal seat at the traditional finance table. What a Trust Bank Charter Actually Means This isn’t a full banking license, but it’s still a big deal. A national trust charter would allow World Liberty to offer: Regulated custody services Fiduciary and trust functions Institutional-grade infrastructure All of this is especially useful for stablecoin operations (they’re building around USD1) and smoother on/off-ramps between crypto and traditional money. The Political Elephant In The Room Because of its close ties to the Trump family, the application has drawn extra scrutiny. Critics are raising questions about potential conflicts of interest and whether it sets a dangerous precedent. WLFI crypto supporters argue it’s simply crypto innovation getting proper regulatory recognition under existing frameworks. The OCC appears to be moving forward anyway, seeing it as a way to bring more crypto activity into regulated channels rather than leaving it entirely in the shadows. World Liberty Financial is on the verge of landing a federal trust bank charter — a significant upgrade that could open institutional doors for custody, stablecoins, and payments. While the political connections make it controversial, this would mark one of the most high-profile crypto projects gaining formal U.S. banking infrastructure. Whether it becomes a template for others or stays a unique case remains to be seen. But one thing is clear: the line between Trump world and crypto infrastructure is getting blurrier by the day. Market Sentiment 100% Bullish
Trump-backed World Liberty Financial nears OCC approval for federal trust charter: report
Trump-backed crypto project World Liberty Financial is expected to soon receive approval to operate as a national trust bank, amid concerns over potential conflicts of interest involving the U.S. president. According to a Tuesday report from NOTUS, the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency's Jonathan Gould is set to announce his decision on World Liberty Financial's application shortly. Two anonymous former staffers at the OCC told the news outlet that the approval is nearly guaranteed, with one source saying that a rejection of the application was "inconceivable." In January, World Liberty Financial established a U.S. trust company and filed the application to the OCC, following the regulator's conditional approval of several crypto companies, including Circle, Ripple, and BitGo. The federal trust bank charter grant would allow World Liberty to issue and redeem its USD1 (USD1) stablecoin, manage reserves, provide digital asset custody, and offer conversion and settlement services under a single federal regulator. This would preempt many state regulations, enhance credibility with U.S. institutions, enable more efficient on-platform payments and settlements, and allow direct issuance without relying on third-party intermediaries. BitGo currently serves as its intermediary. Concerns The OCC approval, however, will likely fuel further political backlash over the current U.S. president's potential conflicts of interest. Donald Trump and his family hold substantial financial interests in World Liberty, which they co-founded a few months before the 2024 presidential election. Its disclosures show that 75% of the proceeds from WLFI's native token sale go to a Trump-controlled entity, DT Marks DEFI LLC. Reuters estimated in a June 9 report that the Trump family has made more than $2.3 billion in profits across four crypto ventures since the start of Trump's second term — with World Liberty accounting for the largest share. Earlier this year, the House of Representatives launched a probe into potential conflicts of interest and national security risks, examining World Liberty's USD1 stablecoin following a reported $500 million UAE investment in the firm and a linked $2 billion Binance deal, which coincided with U.S. AI chip export approvals. During a February Senate Banking Committee hearing, Democratic Senator Elizabeth Warren pressed Gould on his review of World Liberty's application, asking whether he would deny or at least delay the grant, given the alleged conflicts of interest and risks to national security. "Consistent with my statutory obligations, we will process that application as we process all applications, and I would note that the only political pressure I have felt from any part of the United States government, senator, is from you," Gould said in response. "If you follow the law, you will reject the president's application," Warren said. "As soon as you approve that application — and we all know you're going to approve it — you go from being a cheerleader for President Trump to an accomplice in his corruption." The White House has also pushed back on such concerns, saying that Trump's assets are held in a trust managed by his children and that no conflict of interest exists. The Block has reached out to World Liberty and the OCC for further comment.
