Trump Family’s Net Worth Sees Significant Jump as Crypto Ventures Take Off

The Trump family’s wealth saw a notable increase of $1.3 billion this week, largely driven by the trading debut of American Bitcoin (ABTC) and gains from World Liberty Financial (WLFI), a DeFi protocol linked to the family. ABTC’s public listing on Wednesday following its merger with Gryphon Digital Mining triggered significant market fluctuations, with shares soaring before plummeting over 50%. This volatility ultimately resulted in Eric Trump’s stake in the company becoming valued at over $500 million. WLFI’s debut on major crypto exchanges earlier this week also fueled investor interest, adding an additional $670 million to the family’s net worth despite a subsequent price decline of over 40%.
