Trump's crypto empire under observation: up to 37% of the assets apparently bound to digital assets

• The Trump family reports accordingly, 80% of the Trump coins offer.
• The trade fees of the Trump coin achieved $ 100 million in January.
• The Wlfi stable and token project faces transparency problems.

a New report des State Democracy Defenders Fund (SDDF) has the financial relationship between President Donald Trump to Totalized cryptocurrency market again.

The non-partisan supervisory center estimates that up to 37 % of Trump's personal assets may be associated with digital assets, including controversial tokens such as the Trump coins and the World Liberty Financial (Wlfi).

The results raise serious concerns about ethics, gaps in financial disclosure and potential conflicts of interest in the current administration.

The report appears at a time when Trump actively creates crypto policy from the White House.

The approach of his administration for deregulation and pro-blockchain initiatives has triggered concern, especially since some of the same tokens that benefit from the political change that are connected to Trump's private portfolio.

The results of the SDDF indicate a growing blind spot how political figures are committed-or are not obliged-, digital assets that could affect public decision-making.

The Trump coin dominates

The focus of the report is two digital assets: the Trump-Memecoin and Wlfi, which spends both a governance token and a stable coin called USD1.

According to SDDF, it is assumed that the Trump family controls up to 80 % of the total Trump coins offer.

In January 2025, the trading fees of the token alone are said to have exceeded more than $ 100 million, although the on-chain analysis still has to verify whether these funds benefit the Trump family.

The Wlfi ecosystem is also the focus. The project has gained impetus by positioning itself as a pro-free financial system, but SDDF emphasizes the lack of transparency in its allocation and owner structure.

Wlfi’s offers include a tokenized stablecoin, USD1, which some investors have compared with controversial assets such as terrausd due to its centralized administration and advertising connections.

Political overlaps questioned

Since returning to the White House, Trump has followed several crypto-friendly policies.

These contain demands for more relaxed regulatory requirements, clearer definitions for stable coins and guardians for decentralized financial platforms.

While such measures were welcomed by parts of the digital asset industry, the timing and the goals of these changes are now up for discussion.

The SDDF report expresses that the political attitude of the administration could be influenced inappropriately by Trump's private interests.

In particular, critics have pointed out that the regulatory efforts apparently benefit Memecoins and StableCoin projects that the Trump is reported.

Trump also publicly promoted the idea of ​​a "crypto-company" financial future, including by campaign messages and appearances at blockchain conferences.

While these advocates have helped to increase token prices in some cases, supervisory bodies warn that the lack of appropriate laws on conflicts of interest could suspend unpublished risks.

Close demands for transparency

The revelations of SDDF have rejected demands for stronger laws for financial transparency in the USA.

currently public civil servants are not obliged to disclose cryptocurrency stocks, unless they are converted or generate standardized income in Fiat currency.

This regulatory loophole enables political figures, including Trump, to operate digital asset sports folios without formal supervision.

Ethics watchdogs argue that Trump's case illustrates the urgent need for a modernization of financial disclosure obligations.

In particular, they recommend the introduction of laws that prescribe the message of crypto wallet addresses, token stocks and any participation in defi government.

While Trump's supporters claim that the support of the President of Crypto is a future-oriented step to promote innovation and financial inclusion, the result of the SDDF indicates a more complicated picture.

Since important projects such as Wlfi continue to miss independent exams or public transparency regarding the token allocations, it can be expected that the debate about ethics and financial governance will increase in politics in the coming months.
