Trump-Linked Crypto Products Leave Investors $4.7 Billion in Loss

Five crypto products linked to Donald Trump have left investors billions of dollars in the red. Public Citizen estimates combined losses at at least $4.7 billion.The report covers TRUMP, WLFI, Trump NFTs, USD1 and Trump Media. Most of the losses remain unrealized.Therefore, the total does not represent finalized cash losses. Changes in asset prices could increase or reduce the estimated amount.Public Citizen also estimates that Trump earned at least $1.4 billion from crypto activities in 2025. The group based its calculation on Trump’s latest financial disclosure.<h2 class="text-left text-foreground text-3xl font-bold mb-3 mt-1">TRUMP investors face $3.2 billion in losses</h2>According to the <a href="https://www.citizen.org/article/donald-trump-crypto-investors-4-7-billion-underwater/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" class="text-primary underline">Public Citizen report</a>, TRUMP memecoin investors suffered the largest losses. Nansen examined decentralized exchange transactions on Solana.Around 1.6 million retail wallets bought TRUMP after its launch. Approximately 1 million of those wallets are underwater at current prices.Their combined losses reached an estimated $3.2 billion. Only about $400 million had been realized through sales. <figure class="my-6"> <img src="https://minio-api-1.jrkripto.com/blog/ekran-g-r-nt-s-2026-08-28-175944-2cdf3520.webp" alt="Ekran görüntüsü 2026-08-28 175944.png" width="auto" height="auto" class="w-full rounded-lg border" /> </figure> TRUMP launched on Jan. 17, 2025. Its price reached an all-time high of $73.43 within two days.However, the token had fallen to $2.22 during the period covered by the report. The decline generated heavy losses for buyers who entered the market later.Meanwhile, gains were concentrated among a limited number of early investors. Wallets that bought during the first two days captured nearly 90% of total gains.The top 1% of profitable wallets earned $2.7 billion. This represented 80% of all profits generated through TRUMP trading.<h2 class="text-left text-foreground text-3xl font-bold mb-3 mt-1">WLFI losses reach at least $1 billion</h2>WLFI, issued by World Liberty Financial, represented the report’s second-largest source of losses. Public Citizen estimated losses of at least $1 billion.A large portion came from Nasdaq-listed AI Financial Corporation. The company acquired around 7.28 billion WLFI in August 2025.According to the company’s <a href="https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/862861/000149315226038732/form10-q.htm" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" class="text-primary underline">SEC filing</a>, the tokens had a cost basis of nearly $1.46 billion. Their fair value had fallen to $421.3 million by late June.The company therefore faced an unrealized loss of approximately $1.04 billion. Public Citizen also examined retail wallets trading on decentralized exchanges.Nansen data showed that 25,000 of 31,000 WLFI wallets were underwater. Their combined losses reached $54 million.The calculation does not cover transactions on centralized exchanges such as <a href="https://jrkripto.com/tr/exchanges/binance" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" class="text-primary underline">Binance</a>. Investor results on these platforms cannot be fully tracked through on-chain data.<h2 class="text-left text-foreground text-3xl font-bold mb-3 mt-1">Trump Media’s Bitcoin loss reaches $450 million</h2>The report also included Trump Media’s Bitcoin reserve. The company held 9,477 Bitcoin as of June 30.The holdings had a total cost basis of approximately $1.006 billion. Their market value stood at $557 million on the same date.This left Trump Media with an unrealized Bitcoin loss of around $450 million. Public Citizen did not attribute the entire decline in its share price to the crypto strategy.Trump Media’s market value fell by approximately $3.1 billion after the strategy was announced. The report counted only the $450 million difference in the Bitcoin position.<h2 class="text-left text-foreground text-3xl font-bold mb-3 mt-1">NFT investors lose $9.3 million</h2>Public Citizen estimated losses of at least $9.3 million across Trump Digital Trading Cards collections. Three collections initially generated a combined $12.3 million in sales.The group estimated their current combined value at around $3 million. Series 3 was excluded because of insufficient trading activity.The report assigned no losses to USD1 holders. The stablecoin maintained its one-dollar peg during the period examined.<h2 class="text-left text-foreground text-3xl font-bold mb-3 mt-1">Trump’s crypto income exceeds $1.4 billion</h2>Public Citizen estimated Trump’s 2025 crypto income at no less than $1.4 billion. TRUMP and World Liberty Financial were among the largest sources.According to the report, Trump earned $635 million from TRUMP-related licensing fees. His income from WLFI token sales reached $527 million.Trump also reported $65.6 million from selling an equity stake in World Liberty Financial. Public Citizen said it found no evidence that he invested personal capital in these ventures.However, the $4.7 billion figure does not represent a market-wide net loss. The calculation adds losses among underwater wallets without subtracting profits recorded by winning investors.The White House has previously denied that Trump or his family engaged in conflicts of interest. The administration continues to reject similar allegations.

Upbit, Bithumb and Binance Announce Decisions Affecting 7 Assets

Upbit, Bithumb and <a href="https://jrkripto.com/tr/exchanges/binance" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer" class="text-primary underline">Binance </a>announced new trading decisions affecting spot and derivatives markets. The South Korean exchanges tightened restrictions on SNX and ICX.Upbit and Bithumb will delist Synthetix in September. Both exchanges also placed ICON on their investment warning lists.Binance, meanwhile, launched TradFi perpetual contracts linked to five US stocks. The platform offers leverage of up to 20x on the new contracts.<h2 class="text-left text-foreground text-3xl font-bold mb-3 mt-1">Upbit and Bithumb to delist SNX</h2><a href="https://www.upbit.com/service_center/notice?id=1506400376" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" class="text-primary underline">According to Upbit’s announcement</a>, the exchange will delist the SNX/BTC pair on September 28. Trading will end at 3:00 p.m. KST, or 9:00 a.m. Turkey time.The exchange reviewed changes to SNX’s total supply and circulation plans. It also examined the project’s activity and long-term sustainability.Upbit concluded that the remaining shortcomings could pose risks to users. The project’s explanations failed to resolve the concerns behind its warning status.<a href="https://feed.bithumb.com/notice/1654672" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" class="text-primary underline">Bithumb will also end SNX trading</a> on the same date and at the same time. The exchange said the project team’s explanations did not adequately address its concerns.Both platforms will support SNX withdrawals until October 28. They will cancel all open orders after trading ends.Users may need to register external wallet addresses in advance. Whitelisting reviews can take time, making early preparation important.<h2 class="text-left text-foreground text-3xl font-bold mb-3 mt-1">ICX placed on investment warning lists</h2>The second joint decision from Upbit and Bithumb involved ICON. Both exchanges placed ICX on their investment warning lists on August 28.Upbit will keep the ICX/KRW pair under review until the third week of September. The exchange expects to complete its assessment between September 14 and September 18.The exchanges identified an unresolved security incident involving infrastructure connected to ICX. Their notices pointed to the project’s wallet or distributed ledger systems.Bithumb said the cause of the incident remained unclear. The platform added that the security issue had yet to be fully resolved.Both exchanges suspended ICX deposits and withdrawals. Deposits made during the suspension may not reach user accounts.Neither exchange has issued a final delisting decision for ICX. Following their reviews, they may remove the warning, extend it or end trading support.<h2 class="text-left text-foreground text-3xl font-bold mb-3 mt-1">Binance launches five TradFi contracts</h2><a href="https://www.binance.com/en/support/announcement/detail/32ac927d1cbe4aa3b527eca1c401a98f" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" class="text-primary underline">Binance Futures</a> launched five USDT-margined TradFi perpetual contracts on August 28. The new products are TEMUSDT, MRKUSDT, IONQUSDT, MARAUSDT and PDDUSDT.The contracts track Tempus AI, Merck, IonQ, MARA Holdings and PDD Holdings. They went live between noon and 12:20 p.m. Turkey time.Binance offers leverage of up to 20x on each contract. The exchange set the minimum order value at 5 USDT.Funding payments settle every eight hours. The upper and lower funding rate limits stand at plus or minus 2%.The TradFi contracts are available around the clock, seven days a week. Binance may adjust leverage and margin requirements according to market conditions.These products are derivatives tied to the price movements of the underlying companies. Buying a contract does not give investors direct ownership of the corresponding shares.The decisions reflect two different directions among major crypto exchanges. Upbit and Bithumb increased their risk controls on selected altcoins.Binance expanded its range of products linked to traditional financial assets. September deadlines remain important for SNX and ICX holders, while the leveraged contracts carry elevated liquidation risk.

Bitcoin Holds Near $80K Ahead of Warsh’s Jackson Hole Speech

Bitcoin is holding near the $80,000 mark ahead of Federal Reserve Chair Kevin Warsh’s first Jackson Hole speech. The altcoin market is also trading higher, led by a strong rally in Solana.Warsh will speak on Friday, August 28, at 10 a.m. ET. Markets will watch his comments on interest rates and the Fed’s approach to the Treasury market.The speech comes after the U.S. Treasury expanded its long-term bond-buyback program. The Fed’s response could affect crypto prices through movements in the dollar and Treasury yields.<h2 class="text-left text-foreground text-3xl font-bold mb-3 mt-1">Why Warsh’s speech matters for Bitcoin</h2>According to the <a href="https://www.federalreserve.gov/newsevents/2026-august.htm" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" class="text-primary underline">Federal Reserve’s official calendar</a>, Warsh will deliver keynote remarks at the Jackson Hole Economic Policy Symposium. This will be his first Jackson Hole speech since becoming Fed Chair in May.Markets expect Warsh to provide signals about the future path of interest rates. His comments on balance sheet policy and long-term Treasury yields could prove more significant.The U.S. Treasury announced an expansion of its long-term bond buybacks on August 19. The decision came as the 30-year Treasury yield approached its highest level since 2007.According to the <a href="https://home.treasury.gov/news/press-releases/sb0607" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" class="text-primary underline">Treasury Department</a>, the maximum size of each operation will rise from $2 billion to at least $4 billion. The higher amounts will apply from September 9 through November 4.The program covers nominal coupon securities in the 10-to-20-year and 20-to-30-year maturity sectors. The Treasury aims to improve market liquidity for older and less actively traded securities.<h2 class="text-left text-foreground text-3xl font-bold mb-3 mt-1">Treasury buybacks are separate from QE</h2>Treasury buybacks do not directly represent quantitative easing. The program does not expand the Fed’s balance sheet or create new central bank reserves.Investors still interpreted the decision as an attempt to limit long-term borrowing costs. Expectations strengthened around the possibility that the Fed could eventually support the bond market.Fidelity Director of Global Macro Jurrien Timmer said markets were beginning to price in the risk of fiscal dominance. He argued that the Treasury may need to expand the program further to keep yields under control.Such a scenario could increase pressure on the Fed to support the operations. Timmer said this development would likely weaken the dollar while supporting gold and Bitcoin.<h2 class="text-left text-foreground text-3xl font-bold mb-3 mt-1">Bitcoin trades close to $80,000</h2><a href="https://jrkripto.com/tr/coin/btc" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" class="text-primary underline">Bitcoin</a> was trading at around $79,979 at the time of writing. BTC gained 1.42% over the previous 24 hours and 6.09% over seven days.Bitcoin’s market capitalization exceeded $1.6 trillion. Its daily trading volume stood at approximately $37.9 billion.Demand for spot Bitcoin ETFs also supported the price. Market data showed that U.S. funds recorded $2.8 billion in net inflows across eight consecutive trading sessions.Bitcoin climbed as high as $81,280 during overnight trading. Profit-taking ahead of Warsh’s speech later pulled the price back toward $80,000.<h2 class="text-left text-foreground text-3xl font-bold mb-3 mt-1">Solana leads the altcoin market</h2>Solana recorded the strongest move among major altcoins. SOL gained 6.40% in 24 hours to trade at $107.64.Solana’s seven-day gain reached 19.61%. HYPE traded at $83.31 after rising 14.56% over the same period.XRP advanced 1.52% to $1.43. The token gained 9.59% during the past seven days. <figure class="my-6"> <img src="https://minio-api-1.jrkripto.com/blog/ekran-g-r-nt-s-2026-08-28-095512-8849d901.webp" alt="Ekran görüntüsü 2026-08-28 095512.png" width="auto" height="auto" class="w-full rounded-lg border" /> </figure> BNB traded at $712.65, while Ethereum changed hands near $2,501. BNB gained 6.71% for the week, compared with Ethereum’s 5.67% increase.Dogecoin rose 1.44% to approximately $0.088. Zcash stood out among major altcoins with a weekly gain of 32.51%.<h2 class="text-left text-foreground text-3xl font-bold mb-3 mt-1">Warsh’s remarks could create two market scenarios</h2>Warsh could weaken market expectations by describing the Treasury buybacks as routine liquidity operations. A clear statement ruling out Fed participation may push the dollar and long-term yields higher.Under this scenario, profit-taking around Bitcoin’s $80,000 level could accelerate. Altcoins may experience larger price swings because of their higher volatility.Leaving room for possible coordination with the Treasury would create a different outlook. Expectations for lower yields and a weaker dollar could extend Bitcoin’s rally.BNY analysts do not expect Warsh to offer direct forward guidance. They believe his speech may focus on the Fed’s reform agenda and balance sheet policy.

Charles Schwab to Add SOL, AVAX and LINK Trading

Charles Schwab will expand its spot cryptocurrency service with three additional altcoins. The company plans to introduce Solana, Avalanche and Chainlink support in the coming months.Schwab Crypto clients will be able to buy and sell SOL, AVAX and LINK. The platform currently provides direct access to Bitcoin and Ethereum trading.The company did not announce an exact launch date for the three assets. Schwab also plans to expand the number of supported digital assets over time.Once the new assets become available, the platform will support five cryptocurrencies. Clients will view them alongside their existing Schwab investments.<h2 class="text-left text-foreground text-3xl font-bold mb-3 mt-1">Charles Schwab adds three altcoins to its platform</h2>According to <a href="https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20260827576196/en/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" class="text-primary underline">Charles Schwab’s announcement</a>, the additions include Solana, Avalanche and Chainlink. The company selected established assets that align with client demand.Schwab Crypto began its phased rollout to retail clients in May 2026. The initial service supported only Bitcoin and Ethereum.Joe Vietri, Head of Digital Assets at Charles Schwab, said the expansion would give clients more choices. Investors will be able to manage digital assets alongside their other investments.Schwab Crypto is available through Schwab.com, Schwab Mobile and thinkorswim. Clients can view cryptocurrencies and traditional investments on the same platforms.The company charges 0.75% of the dollar value of each cryptocurrency trade.

Schwab may also modify or withdraw support under the same conditions.<h2 class="text-left text-foreground text-3xl font-bold mb-3 mt-1">Schwab’s banking division holds the crypto assets</h2>Schwab Crypto operates through an account separate from a standard brokerage account. The crypto account links directly to the client’s existing Schwab brokerage account.Charles Schwab Premier Bank acts as the custodian of client digital assets. Paxos provides sub-custody and trade execution services.Paxos operates under the oversight of the US Office of the Comptroller of the Currency. Schwab uses this infrastructure to integrate cryptocurrency trading with its traditional financial platforms.Cryptocurrencies held through the service do not qualify as deposits.

The service is unavailable in US territories and international jurisdictions.The company also notes that every client may not qualify for an account. Charles Schwab Premier Bank reviews each application.<h2 class="text-left text-foreground text-3xl font-bold mb-3 mt-1">Schwab serves nearly 40 million brokerage accounts</h2>Charles Schwab’s July figures demonstrate the company’s scale. The firm had 39.9 million active brokerage accounts as of July 31.Total client assets reached $13.04 trillion during the same period. This scale could give the new altcoins access to a broad investor base.Schwab previously said its clients held approximately 20% of spot cryptocurrency exchange-traded products. The company has started addressing this demand through direct spot trading.The announcement coincided with gains across all three cryptocurrencies. Market data showed SOL trading near $104.50 at the time of writing.<a href="https://jrkripto.com/tr/coin/sol" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" class="text-primary underline">SOL</a> gained approximately 8.5% over the previous 24 hours.

UK Moves on Stablecoins: BoE Gets New Role

The UK government plans to expand the Bank of England’s remit. The BoE will take on a new responsibility supporting stablecoin and digital payments innovation.The government has defined this responsibility as a “secondary objective.” Financial stability will remain the central bank’s primary objective.The new objective will cover digital payment infrastructure, including systems that use stablecoins. The BoE will also report its progress to the UK Parliament each year.However, the change has yet to take effect. The government will add the necessary amendments to the Financial Services and Markets Bill.<h2 class="text-left text-foreground text-3xl font-bold mb-3 mt-1">BoE will support digital payments innovation</h2>HM Treasury <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/news/ministers-to-boost-innovation-in-payments-with-new-objective-for-bank-of-england" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" class="text-primary underline">announced the new objective on August 27</a>. The announcement highlighted stablecoins, tokenisation and distributed ledger technology.The Treasury wants payments regulation to keep pace with technological developments. The new statutory objective will require the BoE to support innovation safely.City Minister Lucy Rigby said tokenisation and distributed ledger technology could transform global financial markets. Rigby added that the UK wants to maintain its position in financial services.BoE Deputy Governor Sarah Breeden welcomed the government’s decision. Breeden said the objective would support the central bank’s work on payments technology.Financial stability will continue to take priority. The BoE will not have to support projects that pose unacceptable risks.The central bank will report annually on its work under the new objective. Parliament will therefore be able to monitor regulatory progress and payments innovation.<h2 class="text-left text-foreground text-3xl font-bold mb-3 mt-1">Stablecoin systems will fall under the new objective</h2>The BoE already has a similar objective for certain financial market infrastructures. The Financial Services and Markets Act 2023 introduced this responsibility.The existing objective covers central counterparties and central securities depositories. The government will now extend the same approach to systemic payment systems.Payment systems using digital settlement assets will also fall within its scope. The official announcement specifically identified stablecoin systems as an example.The BoE will oversee stablecoin structures considered important to the financial system. The Financial Conduct Authority will remain responsible for non-systemic crypto and stablecoin activities.HM Treasury will decide whether a payment system has systemic importance. Its assessment will consider factors such as financial stability and market confidence.<h2 class="text-left text-foreground text-3xl font-bold mb-3 mt-1">UK prepares its stablecoin rules</h2>The new objective comes as the BoE develops its <a href="https://jrkripto.com/tr/category/stablecoins" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer" class="text-primary underline">stablecoin </a>regulations. The central bank published draft rules for systemic stablecoins in June.<a href="https://www.bankofengland.co.uk/news/2026/june/boe-launches-policy-statement-and-draft-rules-on-regulating-systemic-stablecoins" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" class="text-primary underline">Under the BoE proposal</a>, issuers could hold up to 70% of their reserves in interest-bearing assets. This portion would consist solely of short-term UK government debt.Issuers would hold the remaining reserves in central bank accounts. The BoE said this structure would help them meet redemption requests.The central bank also dropped its proposed temporary limits on individual stablecoin holdings. It instead proposed a temporary £40 billion issuance cap for each systemic stablecoin.The BoE could remove this cap once risks to credit provision have eased. The central bank will accept feedback on the draft until September 22.The BoE plans to publish its final rules by the end of 2026. Regulated stablecoins could begin operating in the UK in 2027.The government will implement the new innovation objective through amendments to the Financial Services and Markets Bill. The House of Lords will debate the bill on September 7 and 9.
