This data really shocked me! According to the latest survey report from Reuters, the Trump family's income in the first half of this year skyrocketed 17 times, from $51 million in the same period last year to $864 million!
Even more shocking is that over 90% of the income ($802 million) comes from cryptocurrency business. This figure has far exceeded the total revenue of their traditional real estate and hotel business.
Specific income source analysis:
World Liberty Financial token sale: $463 million
TRUMP token sale: $336 million
Traditional business income: only $62 million
It is worth noting that one of the individual transactions came from Aqua1 company's $75 million token purchase. Moreover, most of these funds come from overseas investors, which is closely related to the active promotion by Trump's sons during their global roadshow.
A thought-provoking phenomenon:
The fact that a political family has gained such huge income in the crypto field indeed raises questions about the regulatory environment in the United States. On one side, the SEC strictly regulates ordinary project parties, while on the other side, political figures navigate the crypto market unimpeded. This double standard is worth everyone's consideration.
My view:
Regardless of your attitude towards the Trump family, this case reveals a trend—cryptocurrency is becoming an important channel for capital flow. However, for ordinary investors, when participating in these tokens related to political figures, it is essential to stay vigilant and carefully assess the risks.
