Trump-linked crypto projects earned over $1B in one year
TRUMP, MELANIA, and WLFI tokens saw massive sales
USD1 stablecoin recorded $2.71B in total sales

Former U.S. President Donald Trump and his family have reportedly made over $1 billion in pre-tax profits from their growing involvement in cryptocurrency. According to the Financial Times, the Trump family has quietly built a diverse digital asset empire, ranging from meme coins to stablecoins and DeFi platforms.

The ventures, once seen as a novelty or PR stunt, have turned into a major revenue stream for the Trump brand. The key takeaway? The family is not just playing in the crypto space—they’re dominating it.

Inside the Trump Crypto Empire

The Trump crypto ecosystem includes a wide range of digital products. Notably:

TRUMP and MELANIA tokens brought in an impressive $427 million.
The WLFI token, reportedly linked to a Trump-themed DeFi initiative, contributed a whopping $550 million in sales.
Meanwhile, the USD1 stablecoin—a dollar-pegged token—achieved an eye-popping $2.71 billion in sales.

These numbers suggest a well-coordinated and high-yield operation. The Trump family’s involvement in crypto has evolved beyond collectible NFTs. They now operate in serious financial infrastructure, including stablecoin markets and tokenized platforms.

Political Brand Meets Crypto Innovation

Trump has previously voiced skepticism about crypto, but these earnings paint a different picture. His family’s ability to monetize political and personal branding into digital assets shows how influential figures are leveraging Web3 technologies.

With the 2024 election landscape heating up, Trump’s crypto success could influence both voter perception and financial strategies in the political arena. Whether it’s a campaign tool or a private venture, Trump’s crypto profits are reshaping how politicians engage with blockchain.

No Need to Worry About the Cooling Down of AI Data Center Construction? The US Import Boom Is Unlikely to Subside in the Short Term, Real Impact May Come in 2029

It takes an average of 4.8 years from finalizing investment to starting construction of a data center project, and an additional 2.6 years from construction start to becoming operational. Servers usually cannot be installed until after the building structure and racks are completed. For trade partners such as Taiwan (China), South Korea, and Mexico who rely on US data center supply chain demand, the inertia in construction timelines provides at least a one- to two-year buffer for future exports.

Federal Reserve Major Debate: When Should the Tenure of “Number Three” Williams End?

The main point of contention is whether Williams should step down in June 2028, upon completing a full 10-year term, or in June 2027, when he reaches the mandatory retirement age of 65. Analysts point out that the Federal Reserve Board holds ultimate discretion; if he leaves early, Fed Chair Waller would be able to assert greater control over the appointment to this critical position. However, forcing Williams to shorten his term could easily be interpreted as political manipulation. Williams himself is expected to serve until June 2028.
