Meme coin news emerged as the Trump family's crypto assets surged, adding $1.4 billion to their net worth in a year. Their total wealth now stands at around $680 million, with crypto making up 20%. Gains came from World Liberty Financial, a Trump-themed meme coin, and American Bitcoin Corp. The Trump Group also expanded real-world assets (RWA) news through global real estate licensing and 1789 Capital investments. Trump Media shares dropped 66% over the same period. A White House representative said the administration is pushing to make the U.S. the global crypto capital.

Odaily Planet Daily News: According to Bloomberg, over the past year, cryptocurrency assets added approximately $140 million to the Trump family's wealth. Currently, their total net worth of about $680 million includes cryptocurrencies, which now account for roughly one-fifth of the total for the first time.

According to reports, during his second term, the Trump family has gained significant profits through new ventures such as World Liberty Financial, a cryptocurrency platform they co-founded, a Meme coin named after him, and the Bitcoin mining company American Bitcoin Corp. Among these, the platform token and stablecoin USD1 of World Liberty have shown notable valuation. Meanwhile, the stock price of Trump Media & Technology Group, his social media company, has dropped 66% over the past 12 months, partially offsetting the gains from cryptocurrency assets. Family members have also invested in companies like SpaceX through the venture capital firm 1789 Capital and expanded the global real estate licensing business of the Trump Organization. The White House press secretary responded that the government is fulfilling the president's commitments through administrative actions and policies to make the U.S. the global center for cryptocurrency capital.
