Extraordinary shifts are unfolding with the fortune of US President Donald Trump. Analysts estimate that his daily earnings from cryptocurrencies have now eclipsed the lifetime income he generated from real estate. A striking turn for a man who built his brand on property.
The Wall Street Journal reported that Trump earned more than $5 billion in a single day. The windfall came immediately after the launch of the WLFI token. Whether that timing was mere coincidence is up for debate.
The media outlet noted that the Trump family's wealth surged after the new cryptocurrency was listed on exchanges. As a result, the US leader's income surpassed the total value of his real estate holdings. In other words, his one-day earnings exceeded a lifetime of property gains.
Notably, in early 2025, Trump launched his own cryptocurrency. "My NEW Official Trump Meme is HERE!" the president declared.
Unveiled on the eve of Trump's inauguration, the OFFICIAL TRUMP token spiked after news broke of the US leader's lengthy phone call with Russian President Vladimir Putin. The coin debuted at $7 and surged to $34.50 within a day before correcting to find balance.
