Trump Family Crypto Profits Top $1B via WLFI, USD1 and Memecoins
An FT investigation shows the Trump family’s crypto ventures under World Liberty Financial generated over $1 billion in pre-tax profits over the past year. The WLFI token netted about $550 million, while USD1 stablecoin sales exceeded $2.71 billion, producing $42 million in fees. The TRUMP and MELANIA memecoins added $362 million and $65 million, respectively, despite trading over 90% below their peaks. USD1 has become the fifth-largest stablecoin with a $2.68 billion market cap. President Trump also holds $1.9 billion in Trump Media & Technology Group assets. Critics cite conflict-of-interest risks, prompting proposals like the COIN Act to bar officials from crypto business and calls for divestment.
Bullish
The Trump family’s crypto profit milestone underlines strong adoption and liquidity for WLFI, USD1 stablecoin and related memecoins. In the short term, traders may bid up these tokens on renewed interest, driving volume and price momentum. Over the long term, sustained fee revenue and a top-five stablecoin ranking support bullish sentiment, though regulatory scrutiny remains a risk factor.
