Cryptocurrency projects linked to US President Donald Trump and his family have generated roughly $2.3 billion in gains for the family since Trump’s return to the White House, while investors have collectively lost about the same amount, according to a Reuters investigation<\/a><\/span>.<\/p>\n

The review examined four major projects associated with Trump and his family: the TRUMP memecoin, World Liberty Financial, American Bitcoin and AI Financial Corp.<\/p>\n

According to Reuters, the value of shares or assets tied to those projects has fallen by dozens of percentage points, despite the ventures following a similar operating model.<\/p>\n

The investigation found that the Trump family provided branding, promotional support and political visibility to the projects.<\/p>\n

Reuters reported that the family either contributed very limited capital to the ventures or, in some cases, made no investment at all.<\/p>\n

Investors, meanwhile, committed substantial funds to the projects on the expectation that Trump’s political position and his support for the cryptocurrency industry would generate long-term returns, the report said.<\/p>\n

However, Reuters found that while the value of the underlying assets declined sharply over time, the Trump family continued to generate income from capital supplied by investors.<\/p>\n

Some individuals interviewed by Reuters argued that investors entered the projects voluntarily and should have been aware of the risks involved.<\/p>\n

Wilbur Ross, who served as commerce secretary during Trump’s first administration, said: “If people are buying something speculative, they should understand the risk. If they decided to hold on in the hope of further gains, that was their choice.”<\/p>\n

As an example of how the model operated, Reuters cited the experience of investor Fatima Elrgadawi.<\/p>\n

Elrgadawi invested $2,000 in the TRUMP memecoin, saying she trusted the “Trump brand.” By the end of May, however, the value of her investment had fallen to just $120.<\/p>\n

Reflecting on the experience, Elrgadawi said she believed investors had been exposed to what is commonly known as a “pump and dump” scheme, in which prices are artificially inflated before large-scale selling triggers a sharp decline.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
