White House denies conflicts from Trump's $1B crypto income
- —Trump's 2025 disclosure reported over $1 billion in crypto income, with some estimates near $1.4 billion
- —World Liberty Financial generated more than $500 million through token sales
- —Royalties from the $TRUMP meme coin and related tokens brought in about $600 million
- —The administration cites a family trust and the president's legal exemption from conflict-of-interest rules
Why it matters: The overlap between Trump family profits and the administration's pro-crypto agenda raises the risk of regulatory instability for the market.
