President Donald Trump launched his own cryptocurrency, the $TRUMP memecoin, just days before his 2025 inauguration. A financial disclosure revealed that Mr. Trump personally made about $636 million from the coin in 2025. An independent analysis found that nearly a million crypto accounts lost money on the token, with total losses reaching approximately $3.8 billion.
