Trump family builds $1B crypto empire with tokens, mining, and NFTs while shaping favorable regulations.
The Trump family just pivoted from slapping their name on buildings to becoming crypto whales with a billion-dollar portfolio.
Don Jr. and Eric have been busy stacking more than just campaign donations – they've been accumulating tokens, NFTs, and Bitcoin mining rigs faster than you can say "make crypto great again."
And their timing couldn't be more perfect with daddy back in the White House calling the regulatory shots.
World Liberty Financial (WLFI) is the family's crown jewel, having already bagged $550 million from token sales like it's nothing.
The Trumps quietly hold a 60% stake through their DT Marks DeFi LLC and are pulling in 75% of all token sale revenue.
That's the kind of tokenomics that would make even the shadiest DeFi founder green (or maybe orange) with envy.
Meanwhile, Allen Weisselberg – the same CFO who's seen more Trump family drama than most Netflix series – is helping run the whole operation.
The Trump crypto universe spans everything from a dollar-pegged stablecoin called USD1 to a Bitcoin mining venture with Hut 8 literally named "American Bitcoin."
Let's not forget the meme coins that are printing money at a rapid clip, plus those NFTs that somehow sold out despite looking like they were made in MS Paint.
This is coming from the same Donald Trump who called Bitcoin a "scam" back in 2021 – talk about the ultimate crypto flip-flop.
Trump is now pushing crypto-friendly executive orders to ensure that his burgeoning empire is safe and sound.
His newfound blockchain bromance conveniently coincides with the family having a billion theoretical dollars riding on favorable regulations.
Meanwhile, the GOP is pushing stablecoin legislation that would directly benefit the family's USD1 project – surely just a coincidence, right?
Even the most diamond-handed HODLers are raising eyebrows at the timing.
Elizabeth Warren is already calling for investigations, probably typing those emails with the same energy as someone who just got liquidated on leverage and is reaching out to the exchange’s customer support for answers.
Eric Trump insists there are "no conflicts" with the same conviction that SafeMoon developers claimed their tokenomics were sustainable.
The family's defense? Traditional banking "targeted" them, so naturally, the logical next step was to build a billion-dollar crypto empire.
That's like saying you started a casino because the blackjack dealer was mean to you… not the most ironclad defense, but when one of your own is sitting in the executive office of the United States, it’s kind of hard to argue.
The Trump crypto saga is just getting started, with their stablecoin launch on the horizon and Bitcoin mining operations ramping up.
Wall Street and Washington are watching this unfold like it's the finale of a reality show – except the prize isn't just a trophy, it's potentially reshaping America's entire financial landscape.
Whether you're a Trump supporter or detractor, one thing's clear – the family that once dominated real estate is now making power moves in the most volatile market on earth.
OG crypto anarchists are wondering how their cypherpunk revolution ended up with a former president's family as its newest whales.
