Warren Demands Crypto Bill Blocks Trump Family Profits

Senator Elizabeth Warren is calling for tighter ethics safeguards in the Senate's upcoming cryptocurrency market structure legislation. She argues that any bill must block US officials and their families from profiting off the crypto industry.

Warren points to President Donald Trump's 2025 public financial disclosure, which shows he made $1.4 billion in 2025 from cryptocurrency ventures. The president's family has a significant stake in DT Marks Defi LLC, with over $100 million in Coinbase accounts and $590 million in income.

Warren references a transaction where the UAE's Sheikh Tahnoon bin Zayed acquired a 49% stake in World Liberty Financial from the Trump family before Trump's inauguration, generating $263 million for the president. She argues that this shows how the crypto industry can be used to benefit public officials and their families.

Warren is urging Senate leaders to add provisions barring US officials and their families from profiting from crypto in the upcoming legislation. This comes as the Senate prepares to consider cryptocurrency market structure legislation this month.
