Trump Family’s crypto token has made richer $ 5 billion

The Trump family has just become richer by $ 5 billion (on paper) thanks to its last cryptography company.

Trumps WLFI’s new digital currency began to negotiate itself on Monday with around $ 1 billion of tokens that change hands within the hour. Despite the price of the token of the first day of negotiation, the family won up to $ 5 billion in hypothetical wealth after the beginnings, the Wall Street Journal said in a report.

The launch was in a way a cryptographic version of a first public call to public: the first investors who bought the Trump’s World Liberty Financial venture token could not sell anything on Monday, when they were able to do with high premiums. The token is now available on major exchanges like Binance and Coinbase.

The Trump family and the tokens of other founders are still locked, but now that digital currency is negotiated, these token farms have a real assessment. The Trump family, including the president, has just under a quarter of all WLFI tokens, the WSJ reported.

With its current evaluation, the WLFI is the most precious asset of the Trump family, according to the WSJ, even more than the property portfolio for which the family was originally known.

But the crypto is volatile and subject to collisions, and the value of the tokens can move at any time.

The news on Monday was only the last in a series of victories in major cryptography for which the president and his family made the headlines in the past year. Simultaneously, in the past seven months, Trump has supervised deregulative victories for the cryptocurrency industry that has helped it to install it according to all that the administration officials set aside the concerns about ethics and legality of these conflicts of interest.

Trump’s booming crypto empire

The three sons of Trump, Donald Jr, Eric and Baron, are listed as co -founders of World Liberty Financial, who launched the WLFI token. Trump is listed as “emeritus co-founder”.

The Trump family spear The Crypto company almost exactly a year ago, in the midst of Trump’s very pro-Crypto presidential campaign.

The Cryptographic Society of the Trumps also struck A massive case Last month to sell up to $ 1.5 billion WLFI to a business company listed on the stock market called Alt5 Sigma, and to install Eric Trump as a member of the Board of Directors of Fintech. The agreement also saw Zach Witkoff, co-founder of World Liberty and son of Trump’s advisor, Steve Witkoff, has become the new president of the ALT5 Sigma.

The family and its related entities also took advantage of $ TrumpThe samecoin supported by Trump who saw his fair share of heights with a market capitalization of $ 14.7 billion just before the inauguration, and his fair share of low with an accident of $ 2 billion in July which destroyed more than $ 12 billion in market value.

Investors insofar as Eamecoin was invited to a special dinner with the president of his golf club in Virginia in May, the best investors being invited to a separate VIP reception with Trump.

The sons of Trump, Eric and Donald Jr., also launched American Bitcoin earlier this year, which, according to Eric, is one of the “largest Bitcoin mining companies on earth”. This company plans to make public public by a merger with the Gryphon digital mine listed at NASDAQ.

How is it legal?

According to a June 2025 Disclosure of ethicsTrump won $ 57.4 million in his ownership of tokens linked to World Liberty Financial last year.

Nor is he the only high-ranking person in his administration with direct interest in the future of cryptocurrency: Trump vice-president, JD Vance, said at a crypto conference in May he holds “A good amount of bitcoin“, Before adding that he” eliminated the rules, the administrative formalities and the law that we saw targeting the crypto “by the previous administrations.

Under the Trump administration, a previously aggressive dry has now become a dry that openly kisses the cryptocurrency. Certain application actions against cryptographic companies such as Coinbase, Crypto.com and Kraken have been abandoned. Trump himself directed and was reported in law legislation which legitimized the stabbed only a few months after World Liberty Financial made his debut to his own stablecoin USD1.

The white house’s press secretary Karoline Leavitt pushed anyone who states that Trump’s crypto agreements pose a conflict of interest. But it is difficult to deny that Trump and his family have indeed greatly benefited from the regulatory thrust of the administration to legitimize the cryptocurrency in the consumer financial system, and now they still have $ 5 billion (on paper) to show it.
