Trump reveals World Liberty Financial $57 million cryptocurrency windfall

Trump reports $57.4 million in revenue from World Liberty Financial, a DeFi venture that has secured more than $550 million. Along with his sons Donald Jr. and Eric, US President Donald Trump has revealed $57.4 million in revenue from his partnership with World Liberty Financial, a cryptocurrency enterprise. The information surfaced in Trump’s June 13 public financial statement for 2025, which was submitted to the US Office of Government Ethics. According to the document, Trump has voting rights and 15.75 billion governance tokens in World Liberty Financial.

The considerable reported income implies that Trump has monetized some part of the position or that the tokens were valued for disclosure at a high internal rate, even though the document doesn’t go into detail about the exact structure or market value of the governance tokens. Without specifying whether the gain was made through token sales, staking rewards, or other means, the filing merely reports the income as “$57,437,927.” According to the company’s March disclosure, World Liberty Financial raised $200 million in its first round of public token sales and an additional $250 million in its second round, for a total financing of almost $550 million.

With an emphasis on DeFi and dollar-pegged stablecoins, the project debuted in September 2024 and positioned itself as a threat to the established financial system. Prominent cryptocurrency investors have also jumped on board. Justin Sun, the founder of Tron, received 2 billion WLFI tokens at the initial price of $0.015 after investing $30 million in November 2024. In January, Web3

Port invested $10 million, and Oddiyana Ventures joined as a strategic investor, though the amount was not made public. It’s noteworthy that Trump’s report also takes into account his larger digital asset footprint. He disclosed income from NFT-based businesses, like the Trump Digital Trading Cards collection, in earlier files. No new NFT income is shown in the most recent filing.

Trump has positions in a number of holding companies connected to digital initiatives, such as CIC Digital LLC and CIC initiatives LLC, according to the form, even though the revenue from those businesses is either nonexistent or very small. The President certifies in the ethics file that the material is “true, complete, and correct to the best of [his] knowledge,” and the Office of Government Ethics will review it.

After a record 19-day run of unbroken inflows, US-based spot Ether exchange-traded funds (ETFs) saw their first net outflow day. According to Far side statistics, spot Ether ETH $2,505 ETFs saw net withdrawals of $2.1 million on June 13, breaking the longest inflow run since the products’ July 2024 introduction. With the exception of the May 26 market closure for US Memorial Day, the streak started on May 16. Over the course of the 19-day run, the ETFs received $1.37 billion in inflows, or around 35% of the $3.87 billion in net inflows for the products. Spot Ether ETFs received $240.3 million on June 11, the biggest daily inflow in over four months.

Prior to this, the longest inflow run for spot Ether ETFs lasted 18 days, ending on December 19 amid general confidence in the cryptocurrency market after US President Donald Trump won the election in November. Despite a record run of days with consecutive inflows, cryptocurrency analyst ZeroHedge stated in a June 13 article on X that Ether is currently trading lower than it was on May 16, when it began the stretch at $2,620. According to CoinMarketCap data, Ether is now trading at $2,552 at the time of publication. Spot Ether ETFs need a staking function, according to many industry participants, in order to get more interest. Robbie Mitchnick, head of digital assets at BlackRock, stated on March 20 that the ETF is “less perfect” in the absence of staking.
