Trump Family Amasses $5 Billion After Crypto Launch

Wall Street Journal: “The Trump family notched as much as $5 billion in paper wealth on Monday after its flagship crypto venture opened trading of a new digital currency. The launch is akin to an initial public offering, in which the cryptocurrency, called WLFI, can now be bought and sold on the open market.”

“The Trump family, including President Trump himself, holds just under a quarter of all WLFI tokens in existence.”

“WLFI is likely now the Trumps’ most valuable asset, exceeding their decades-old property portfolio.”

He’s used to property and construction and loans.

No wonder he protects Big Balls and the tech bros so much.
