House Democrats Accuse Trump of $800M Crypto Profit in First Half of 2025

U.S. House Judiciary Committee Democrats released a report on Nov. 28 alleging that Trump and his family leveraged presidential powers to generate $800 million from cryptocurrency ventures in the first half of 2025, Decrypt reports. The Trump family's combined crypto and stock holdings reached $11 billion, effectively doubling their wealth within a year. The report detailed specific actions including pardons for BitMEX founder Arthur Hayes in March 2025 and Binance founder CZ in October 2025, alongside termination of investigations into Coinbase, Gemini, Robinhood, Ripple, Crypto.com, Uniswap, Yuga Labs, and Kraken. Democrats concluded the administration operated a "pay-to-play" model, with foreign entities purchasing Trump family-issued tokens in exchange for regulatory relief and policy advantages.
