The post 37% of Donald Trump’s Wealth Tied to Crypto Holdings, Says SDDF Report appeared first on Coinpedia Fintech News
A report from the State Democracy Defenders Fund (SDDF) reveals that up to 37% of President Donald Trump’s personal wealth may stem from cryptocurrency, raising serious questions about ethics, transparency, and conflicts of interest.
Trump’s Crypto Wealth: TRUMP Coin and WLFI at the Center
The SDDF, a nonpartisan watchdog group, points to two key sources of Trump’s crypto wealth: the TRUMP meme coin and a controversial project known as World Liberty Financial (WLFI), which offers a governance token and a stablecoin called USD1.
While exact figures remain unverified, one report claims Trump and his family control up to 80% of the TRUMP coin supply, with trading fees reportedly hitting $100 million in January alone. The lack of on-chain transparency makes it difficult to determine just how much revenue flows directly to the Trump family from either venture.
Crypto President or Conflict of Interest?
Since taking office, Trump has delivered on his campaign promise to support the crypto industry—pushing for looser regulations and clearer stablecoin frameworks. But the SDDF report questions whether these pro-crypto policies also serve Trump’s personal financial interests.
The blurred lines between public service and private profit have ignited debate. Critics argue that a sitting U.S. president with deep crypto investments could influence policy for personal gain, eroding public trust and undermining democratic governance.

With no clear disclosure requirements for crypto holdings, the report adds fuel to ongoing concerns over hidden financial entanglements in government.
