Trump Family Net Worth Rises $2.9 Billion Amid Crypto Investments

Recent reports reveal that the Trump family's wealth has surged by billions in the past six months, largely due to ventures in cryptocurrency, including the launch of the $TRUMP and $MELANIA meme coins and a substantial stake in World Liberty Financial, which developed the USD1 stablecoin. A landmark $2 billion investment by MGX, an Abu Dhabi–backed fund led by UAE royalty, will use the Trump-backed USD1 stablecoin to invest in Binance, forging formal financial ties between the Trump family, foreign investors, and one of the world's largest crypto exchanges. The Trump family is estimated to control significant portions of these tokens, with up to 80% of the TRUMP coin supply and a majority stake in World Liberty Financial, raising their net worth and influence in the digital asset sector. These developments have prompted concerns over ethics, financial disclosure, and potential conflicts of interest, as the Trump administration continues to advocate for crypto deregulation. Critics, including nonpartisan watchdogs and lawmakers, warn of insufficient transparency around token ownership and the implications of foreign-backed investments. The deals underscore the growing intersection between U.S. political power, global finance, and the fast-evolving crypto industry.
