President Trump has reported $1.4B in crypto-industry revenue since he retook the White House, including $636M from his $TRUMP memecoin, according to The New York Times. Trump and his partners collected fees on every $TRUMP trade regardless of the coin’s fate, and 58 early traders each cleared over $10M while roughly 764,000 mostly small wallets lost money after it crashed, per Chainalysis. World Liberty Financial, a separate Trump crypto venture, added $799M, including a stake the UAE quietly bought as he returned to office, even as its $WLFI coin has since sunk over 80%. Trump’s administration eased the path, with the SEC declining to treat memecoins as securities and Trump signing a law expanding U.S. stablecoin use months after World Liberty issued its own stablecoin, though the White House said he has no conflicts of interest.
