Семья Трампа заработала более $1 млрд благодаря криптовалютным инвестициям Translation: Trumps family earned over $1 billion through cryptocurrency investments

The family of U.S. President Donald Trump has earned over $1 billion through cryptocurrency ventures, as revealed by an investigation conducted by the Financial Times.

This amount does not account for tax deductions. The politician’s son, Eric Trump, confirmed to the publication that the actual profits are «likely much higher.»

At the core of Trump’s crypto empire is the DeFi platform World Liberty Financial (WLFI), launched by his sons. The U.S. president is listed on the platform’s website as an «honorary co-founder.» In two funding rounds, the project raised $590 million in investments.

In June, it was reported that the President has made over $57 million from the sale of WLFI tokens. His family’s stake in the project has reached $5 billion. According to estimates from the Financial Times, World Liberty Financial has provided Trump with at least $550 million since the beginning of the year.

The president also gained significant profits from the meme-coins TRUMP and MELANIA, amounting to a combined $427 million. However, both coins have since plummeted by more than 90% from their all-time highs.

The WLFI-issued stablecoin USD1 has enriched the Trump family by $42 million. This asset ranks fifth in market capitalization among stablecoins, boasting a value exceeding $2.7 billion.

The president’s personal stake in his parent company, Truth Social — Trump Media & Technology Group — is estimated at $1.9 billion. The firm actively invests in cryptocurrencies and has applied for registration of an ETF based on cryptocurrency blue chips.

On October 15, the launch of a new crypto bank, Erebor, was approved in the U.S., reportedly connected to the president. It was founded by friends of the politician, including billionaire Peter Thiel. The organization plans to work with stablecoins, according to the Financial Times.

It is worth noting that in September, the politician filed a lawsuit against The New York Times and the publishing house Penguin Random House due to criticisms directed at his meme-coin.
