The New York Times: About 1 million investors invested in Trump-themed tokens, for a total loss of $3.81 billion

Abstract generation in progress
Mars Finance News, according to The New York Times, as of the end of June, nearly 1 million investors had participated in various Trump-themed token investments, with cumulative losses reaching $3.81 billion. Crypto analytics firm Nansen dissected the trading mechanism, stating that the fee distribution rules for the related tokens allow Trump to profit in both rising and falling price scenarios, with the core earnings coming from continuously generated transaction fees. His social platform Truth Social has repeatedly promoted these tokens, further stimulating market trading activity and amplifying retail investor participation. Data shows that Trump shifted his conservative stance on cryptocurrencies during the 2024 campaign, laying the groundwork for digital asset commercialization. Together with his children, he founded the crypto project World Liberty Financial and issued $WLFI tokens, which have seen significant price declines. The TRUMP token, launched just before his inauguration, was defined by the market as a purely speculative asset with no practical utility. It experienced a sharp correction after listing, leaving a large number of retail investors who entered at high prices deeply trapped.
