A federal filing revealed that Trump holds more than $50 million in Bitcoin, though the disclosure's highest reporting category suggests even more.

Memecoin sales and royalties made the most money for Trump last year, more than all of his golf courses combined. US President Donald Trump’s cryptocurrency ventures generated more income for him in 2025 than his real estate and resort businesses, according to his latest financial disclosures.  Donald Trump’s annual financial disclosure report was released by the US Office of Government Ethics on Tuesday, revealing more than $1.4 billion in income from crypto-related ventures last year.  The filings show Trump has profited substantially from an industry that he’s simultaneously regulating, which critics say creates a conflict of interest. In 2025, his administration pushed pro-crypto policy, a friendlier regulatory environment and executive orders favorable to digital assets, while his family’s ventures generated vast income as crypto markets surged to an all-time high.  Read more

Carl Rinsch will serve two and a half years in prison for taking money meant for a Netflix show to buy Dogecoin, stocks and luxury goods.

One Binance customer said he lost the equivalent of more than $132,000 from the crypto exchange’s derivatives offerings before restrictions were imposed on Binance. Almost 1,700 UK investors are reportedly suing Binance and its founder Changpeng Zhao for 150 million British pounds ($200 million), alleging the crypto exchange offered and sold crypto derivatives without regulatory approval. The law firm representing the investors, KP Law, said Binance’s leverage tokens, futures contracts and options offerings breached the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000 and that these products continued to be offered after the Financial Conduct Authority banned such products from being offered to retail customers in January 2021. “There appeared to be no effective barrier preventing UK customers from accessing them,” the law firm said.

Tokenization and RWA TVL growth highlight Ethereum’s fundamentals, but stagnant DApps and spot ETF outflows keep the pressure on ETH price. Key takeaways: Ether (ETH) has failed to sustain prices above $1,600 since Thursday, following the broader cryptocurrency market's downtrend.
