In one year, Trump has made $1.4 billion from cryptocurrency. Among the 760k retail investors who bought his token, only 58 addresses actually made significant profits.



It can only be said that the old master of harvesting retail investors, Trump, has personally done the harvesting.

Last year, Abu Dhabi's sovereign investment institution acquired a 49% stake in World Liberty Financial through a previously undisclosed transaction, with over $187 million flowing into entities controlled by the Trump family.

The TRUMP token royalties amount to $635 million, mainly from the "Celebration Coins" agreement he has been promoting. More sensitive is the timeline:

Three days before his inauguration in January 2025, the $TRUMP token was launched. That same year, his administration introduced the GENIUS Act and the CLARITY Act, providing regulatory clarity for stablecoins and crypto market structure—precisely the industry where his own business operates.

Democratic Congressman Jamie Raskin released a report calling it a "multi-billion dollar nepotistic crypto empire" and pushed for a clause in the CLARITY Act to prohibit senior officials from profiting from crypto assets. The White House emphasized that all assets have been fully disclosed as required by law.

The difference between the two sides is actually clear: "fully disclosed as required by law" and "no conflict of interest" are two different dimensions.

No one can give a definitive answer on whether these two matters are related, but the timeline is there, making it hard not to wonder.

On one hand, foreign capital and equity quietly flow into the president's family company.

On the other hand, his administration is busy loosening regulations and writing rules for the entire crypto industry.

Retail investors are losing money, regulators are easing up, and money keeps piling up in the family accounts. Can this really be explained away with just the four words "fully disclosed as required by law"?

Or is it that the presidency itself is the most valuable asset in this business?$BTC #Circle股价重挫17%
