According to a report by The Wall Street Journal, about $800 million of Trump’s earnings came from World Liberty Financial, a crypto venture linked to him and his family that launched digital tokens and later expanded into stablecoins.

Meanwhile, roughly 85% of secondary-market buyers of World Liberty’s WLFI token are currently sitting on losses, while investors in the $TRUMP memecoin have seen the token plunge about 97% from its peak.

The disclosures have intensified scrutiny over potential conflicts of interest as lawmakers debate crypto regulation. The White House has denied any wrongdoing.
