An explosive and detailed report on Trump crypto wealth presented by the House Judiciary Committee Democrats has shaken the political landscape. Representative Jamie Raskin, the document’s lead author, alleges that the President and his family made 800 million dollars through digital asset schemes during the first half of the year 2025 alone.
The document delves into alarming financial data, pointing out that the President’s net worth doubled driven primarily by the launch of projects like World Liberty Financial (WLFI). Likewise, the text highlights the participation of foreign investors like Justin Sun founder of the Tron network, raising serious questions about external influence. Furthermore, a direct correlation is detailed between these gains and executive decisions, including pardons for figures like Arthur Hayes and Changpeng Zhao, as well as the termination of federal investigations against major sector companies such as Coinbase and Kraken.
Is the White House operating as an unregulated digital asset startup?
On the other hand, these actions have been described by lawmakers as the transformation of the Oval Office into the most corrupt startup operation in the modern world. The report suggests that financial backers received swift returns through the elimination of regulations and protections for consumers that previously safeguarded the market. Ethics experts cited, such as Bartlett Collins Naylor, warn that soliciting foreign investment and trading presidential favors for money constitutes a serious violation of laws and represents a historic conflict of interest.
The perception that American politics is for sale could destabilize trust in the cryptocurrency market and traditional institutions in the long term. If it is confirmed that policies are shaped to benefit the President’s personal holdings, retail investors would be left exposed to unprecedented systemic risks. Given this, government ethics advocates suggest that Congress should ban elected officials from trading these assets to avoid bribes veiled through meme coins.
Democratic lawmakers have now escalated their actions and demand Treasury access to suspicious activity reports related to the ventures of the Trump family. It is expected that this scrutiny will intensify the national debate regarding the need for new laws regulating the interaction between public officials and volatile financial markets in the coming months.
