UAE Investment Sparks Ethics Concerns
A major development emerged regarding the Trump family's broader cryptocurrency operations. An investment firm tied to the United Arab Emirates acquired nearly half of the Trump family's cryptocurrency company, a $500 million stake, four days before President Donald Trump's second inauguration.
The deal, signed by the president's son Eric Trump, gave the Emirati-backed firm a 49% stake in World Liberty Financial, the Trump-linked crypto venture co-founded by family members of the president and Steve Witkoff, his top envoy to the Middle East.
Regulatory and Political Backlash
Merkley and Senate minority leader Chuck Schumer introduced a bill to ban senior executive branch officials—including Trump—and their family from profiting off of cryptocurrency. Representative Sam Liccardo, a Democrat who represents Silicon Valley, introduced the Modern Emoluments and Malfeasance Enforcement Act (MEME Act), which would prohibit the issuance or endorsement of any financial asset by the president, senior White House officials, or members of Congress, or their spouses or children.
Token Distribution and Ownership
The initial release of $TRUMP comprised 1 billion tokens, with 200 million made available to the public during the initial coin offering (ICO) on January 17, 2025. The remaining 800 million tokens are retained by two Trump-affiliated entities, CIC Digital LLC and Fight Fight Fight LLC, with plans for gradual release over the next three years.
