Trump’s crypto windfall moves into stocks and bonds, filings show

Reuters reports that Donald Trump’s 2025 disclosures show he earned over $1.4 billion from his crypto ventures last year and, using his money managers, shifted a large portion of those proceeds into traditional assets like stocks and bonds, increasing his holdings in these safer assets. He still holds World Liberty Financial tokens and the Trump meme coin, but did not report buying publicly listed crypto firms backed by his sons. White House says his assets are in discretionary accounts managed by independent institutions, while analysts say crypto is not his primary wealth store and retailers have faced billions in losses from Trump-backed crypto projects.

US eases UAE export rules, signaling favorable treatment for MGX amid crypto-backed Binance stake

The Commerce Department announced a move to ease export controls on the United Arab Emirates, stating it will favorably review license applications for MGX—the UAE-backed investment firm that used the Trump family–affiliated USD1 stablecoin to fund a $2 billion stake in Binance; the rule also expands license exemptions for UAE AI and computing tech and upgrades the UAE’s status as a Major Defense Partner, drawing criticism from Sen. Elizabeth Warren who warns of national-security risks, while officials say the changes accelerate legitimate trade without removing safeguards.

In a CNBC interview, President Trump says he didn’t know about his family’s cryptocurrency ventures that helped generate about $1.4 billion of his $2.2 billion income disclosed for 2025.

He also defended his stance on crypto and attributed wealth to market performance, while critics argue the White House benefited his personal finances.

Trump Family Profits Billions From Crypto While Retail Investors Lose Billions, Reuters Says

Reuters’s analysis, cited by Gizmodo/io9, finds the Trump family generated at least $2.3 billion in profit from Trump‑linked crypto since the presidency, while investors lost about $2.3 billion; most profits reportedly came from WLFI, World Liberty Financial’s governance token, with the Trumps taking a 75% cut and holding about 60% of the company, though WLFI says it is not an investment product. The token has fallen from roughly $0.31 to $0.05, and other Trump‑linked assets like the $Trump memecoin are noted. The piece also touches on investor types, legal disputes, and backing from entities such as AI Financial. Overall, it presents a symmetrical but troubling portrait of meme‑crypto where a political family profits while ordinary investors incur losses.
