US EditionTrump Officials' $193 Million Crypto Holdings Prompt Divestments and Ethical Scrutiny
UNITED STATES, JUL 18 – About 20% of Trump’s closest allies hold substantial cryptocurrency assets worth at least $193 million, highlighting significant financial ties within his administration, analysis shows.
- One in five of Donald Trump's closest allies hold significant cryptocurrency assets amid his administration's expanding involvement in digital finance.
- This situation developed in the context of Trump's 2024 campaign, with his family owning a majority stake in a coin released last September that entitles them to 75% of earnings.
- Trump's sons pursue overseas development deals while his daughter and son-in-law collaborate with Albania to build a Mediterranean resort, complementing crypto ventures that earned hundreds of millions.
- One cryptocurrency pulled in at least $320 million, another attracted a $2 billion UAE-backed investment, and a third sold over $550 million in tokens highlighting substantial financial inflows.
- These developments suggest growing financial benefits for the Trump family from the crypto industry amid claims of regulatory efforts to maintain U.S. leadership in digital assets.
