The President's Crypto Fortune
The nonprofit organization, State Democracy Defenders Action, claims that President Donald Trump's foray into the crypto sphere has significantly boosted his net worth over a short period. The study reveals that Trump's crypto assets constitute 37% of his total wealth, worth $7.7 billion.
The study, conducted by the nonprofit group dedicated to finding and deterring autocracy in the US, shows that Trump's influence as president has played a crucial role in loosening regulatory policies surrounding Decentralized Finance (DeFi) platform, World Liberty Financial (WLFI). Trump is associated with WLFI, which he founded in September 2024.
One of the key findings is the following statement:
"President Trump's recent foray into crypto assets has allowed him to substantially increase his wealth in a relatively short period of time. Trump will likely profit more from them in the future now that one of the companies he is affiliated with has added a new stablecoin to its portfolio.
Unlike other executive branch employees, he is not subject to the primary criminal conflict of interest law, which has allowed him to adopt regulatory policies that favor private sector stablecoins like those offered by WLFI."
According to Fortune, Trump's staggering crypto riches, worth $2.9 billion, make up a significant chunk of his overall assets. Given Trump's strong ties with the crypto industry and his presidential powers, there are concerns about potential conflicts of interest. However, the study emphasizes the power that Congress holds to prevent Trump and future presidents from profiting from digital assets by adopting stricter regulatory laws.
Like the hawk and the dove, the regulation of digital assets is still in its infancy, and the government is navigating these uncharted waters carefully. While it remains to be seen what the future holds, one thing is clear: President Trump has embraced the crypto industry, and it will be interesting to observe the consequences of his actions in the months and years to come.
