USA: Trump family makes huge profits from cryptocurrency

Donald Trump’s latest financial disclosure has drawn renewed scrutiny after revealing that he earned at least $2.2 billion during 2025, including an estimated $1.4 billion from cryptocurrency ventures linked to his family. Once critical of digital currencies, he now strongly supports the sector while his administration oversees its regulation. Critics argue this creates significant ethical concerns, particularly as foreign investors have acquired major stakes in Trump-linked crypto businesses. They also point to losses suffered by many investors in the President’s meme coin while his family continues to benefit from trading fees. The White House rejects any suggestion of wrongdoing, insisting all decisions are made in the public interest and that no conflicts of interest exist. The president’s growing wealth is seen as a sign he is focusing on enriching himself and not on improving the finances of Americans.With continuing financial pressures, opponents say the president’s growing personal wealth will become a major issue ahead of the forthcoming midterm elections, while supporters continue to admire his business success.
