#TrumpBitcoinEmpire The most powerful cryptocurrency leader in Washington is becoming a headache for the industry. More than four months after his return to the Oval Office, President Donald Trump's business empire is rapidly consolidating as a new cryptocurrency empire. His interests in this loosely regulated industry include the digital asset startup World Liberty Financial and the memecoin $TRUMP, a type of high-risk cryptocurrency that was launched just before Inauguration Day. Last week, the president participated in a private gala dinner at his golf club in Virginia for major holders of the memecoin, generating national media coverage.
