In an interview with CNBC, Trump stated that he did not know exactly how much revenue his encryption business generated, but stressed that he could have been identified if he wanted to know and stated that there were no irregularities in such proceeds. This was the first time that he had responded directly to the income related to digital assets listed in the financial disclosure documents.
This statement came after its financial disclosure in 2025. Following the release of the document, attention was again focused on the increasing encryption business map of the Tromp family and whether those commercial interests would conflict with the digital asset policy being promoted by the White House.
Financial disclosure is being challenged again.
In an earlier response, Trump had attributed more personal gains to the rise in the stock market and had not spoken of encrypted income in a positive way. For the first time, the interview explicitly touched on the issue.
Critics argue that the continued layout of the Trump family in the area of encryption may expose it to conflict of interest challenges as it promotes relevant policies during the presidency. Especially as the regulatory framework for digital assets is being discussed in the United States, such business linkages are more likely to be the focus of congressional debate.
In addition to the financial disclosure itself, the Tramp family-related token project has also received continued attention. TRUMP and MELANIA were previously criticized for sucking up the bulk funds after their release. At the same time, World Liberty Financial was introduced last year.
In terms of market performance, the above-mentioned tokens experienced a marked fall after they went online and are now well below their historical highs.
Continue to emphasize that the United States should lead the encryption industry.
In an interview, Trump reiterated that the United States must remain a global leader in the encryption industry. He stated that if the United States did not seize ownership, other countries might gain advantage in this large industry and named China and Japan.
This statement is in line with recent government policies. Trump has repeatedly expressed his desire to make the United States a global digital asset centre and urged Congress to pass the CLARITY Bill to establish a clearer regulatory framework for the encryption industry.
The bill's closing.
However, the bill continues to face political resistance. According to data from Polymarket, which predicts a market platform, traders now expect Trump to have about 41 per cent of the probability of signing the CLARITY Act into law by the end of this year.
One of the main obstacles raised by the Democrats was the financial interests of the Trump individuals and their families in the area of encryption. As the Senate enters its August recess in the coming weeks, the window for the bill to move forward in Congress is shrinking.
