IrelandThe article discusses former U.S. President Donald Trump's significant financial gains from cryptocurrency ventures during his time in office. It contrasts this with the ethical approach taken by former President Jimmy Carter, who placed his family's peanut farm into a blind trust prior to taking office. According to Trump's 2025 annual disclosure filing with the U.S. Office of Government Ethics, his companies earned over $1.4 billion from cryptocurrency-related activities, including nearly $800 million from World Liberty Financial, a crypto firm co-founded with his sons, and $635 million from the sale of Trump-themed meme coins. The article highlights the shift in Trump's stance on cryptocurrency, noting that he previously criticized it as a 'scam' and 'disaster waiting to happen,' but later became a strong advocate for the industry, promising to make the U.S. the 'crypto capital of the planet.' Experts note that while Trump profited significantly, many investors lost substantial amounts due to the volatile nature of meme coins.
