In just over a month, the crypto market has lost $1.2 trillion in value. The steady declines since mid-October have erased much of the gains received by both small and large investors. Among the latter is a very well-known figure: U.S. President Donald Trump, who is also partly responsible for the euphoria the sector experienced until October.
But the Trump effect has completely vanished, with digital assets falling back to levels seen before his term. His direct support of the sector and entry into crypto businesses fueled short-term excitement, but investors have forgotten about that now. Today, the focus of the debate is the potential AI bubble and interest-rate cuts. And the Trump business empire has felt the shock of reality: since September, it has lost at least $1 billion of its fortune (dropping from $7.7 billion at the beginning of September to the current $6.7 billion), according to the Bloomberg Billionaires Index, a decline largely due to the Trump family’s growing ties to crypto projects.
The Trump family went all-in on digital assets: they launched tokens, created companies, invested in the industry, pardoned convicted crypto tycoon Changpeng Zhao, and legislated in favor of the sector, pushing major cryptocurrencies to historic highs. But in this market — marked by extreme volatility and speculation — no one is spared, not even the president. A good example of this was the launch, a few days before Trump’s inauguration, of the memecoin $TRUMP, a token with no backing whatsoever beyond being linked to the tycoon’s image. Minutes after its release, euphoria broke out and the token reached a value of more than $15 billion. But like every speculative wave, the excitement was short-lived, and its price plunged by up to 76% within a few hours.
In these past months, $TRUMP has gone through ups and downs, but since mid-August its declines have intensified, and it has lost around 40% of its value; since its launch, it is down 85%. As of today, the size of the Trump family’s stake in the project is unclear; according to Bloomberg estimates, those close to him hold around 40% of all outstanding tokens. At current prices, that stake is worth about $310 million, implying a loss of $117 million since the end of August.
But this is only the tip of the iceberg when it comes to the Trump family’s crypto empire. With their flagship project, the crypto platform World Liberty Financial, they issued the WLFI token, which has plunged 38% since early September: those close to the president hold an amount of tokens that reached an accounting value of roughly $6 billion at its peak, but which today are worth half that — about $3.15 billion — according to Bloomberg data. These assets, however, are not included in the agency’s calculations, as they are not traded on organized markets.

article is propaganda attempting to present how the trump crime family is suffering along with his low income voters.
these cryptos are fabricated and made up of nothing...there are MILLIONS of different meme coins.
worst of all, the article skips the fact that trump makes money off transaction fees of useless crypto that is paid in DOLLARS.
anyone serious would want to know the trump family wealth difference before and after the election, and how that wealth is counted. it is impossible this particular senior with dementia actually became a biz genius on election day.
The article simply points out that despite the active support of the Trump Crime Family their promotion of Bullshit Money isn't accomplishing much.
and the source is el pais usa .
but yes, writing for rightwing spaniard trump fans who prefer to read english doesnt seem like a big catch.
Donald Trump just had the most lucrative year of his life. His net worth is now estimated at $7.3 billion, up from $4.3 billion in 2024, when he was still running for office. That $3 billion jump moved him up 118 spots on The Forbes 400, placing him at No. 201 this year. So even if he lost a billion, he’d still be doing just fine. I’m glad you’re keeping track of his finances.
The Obamas have also seen significant financial growth over the years.
And here’s a true story: my SIL works for a major Silicon Valley company. They had booked Michelle Obama for a presentation at a rate of $300K for a 90 minute talk. Michelle arrived late, spoke for only about 20 minutes, and still demanded full payment threatening to go public and accuse the company of DEI bias if they didn’t comply. Quite an act of “class,” I suppose.
Millions flowed to the Biden family via opaque deals.
Turns out we can agree on one thing: our politicians are corrupt.
"When I win, I will immediately bring prices down, starting on Day One."
Trump has failed to keep this campaign promise — overall prices have increased since he took office.¹
Shouldn't the president be focused on improving the lives of ordinary Americans
instead of enriching himself and his immediate family?
With his rapacious appetite for filthy lucre, Donald Trump has potentially violated
the Constitution’s Emoluments Clauses.²

But hey, TDS is in the house.
So what? Are you suggesting that because those things are true it gives your president Trump the right to do anything that happens to occur to him? The connection would be... ???
The man is totally corrupt, in every sense of the word. You can add him to your list.
The scale of corruption in this current administration and insider circle is staggering and unprecedented. Democrat corruption is literally kindergartner level compared to Republican corruption in Orange Grifter Term 2. And it started well before Day 1 (meme coins of Trump and his "wife")
and the parroted 'what-aboutism' w/no concept of scale, nor an economic grasp for tragedy of the commons, is why a certain poster has zero value add.
Another great information piece from El Pais. "But the Trump effect has completely vanished, with digital assets falling back to levels seen before his term."
Dare I say, reversion to mean, absent new substance.
Whataboutism is one of the most immature rationalizations of them all. Imagine that dim little boy on a 4th grade playground, saying "But, Johnny did it too!" Thinking that it is an actual defense. Then imagine that dim little boy, all grown up, but no more mature.
P T Barnum, is attributed with saying that "A sucker is born every minute".
"A fool and his money is soon parted", may also apply. I find comfort knowing that those fleeced are almost certainly part of the cult. Or really stupid.

Some of the tactics used against suspected undocumented aliens would get you tossed into jail if you used them against a helpless animal like a dog, chipmonk or squirrel. Shame on FD for continuing to defend this gang. Anything you say hereafter ceases to have any credibility.
"...But now, after reclaiming the White House—and cashing in on the power that comes with it—he can pretty much do anything he wants."
Talked their way right past the Emoluments clause. Way to go.
