Senator Seeks Trump Ban on Cryptocurrencies as 63% in Poll Find His Earnings Inappropriate

U.S. Senator Kirsten Gillibrand (D-NY) is pushing for a legally enforceable ban to prevent presidents, their spouses, and senior officials from issuing, promoting, or profiting from cryptocurrencies while in office. She has made this ethics provision a condition for her support of the broader Digital Asset Market Clarity Act, a bipartisan crypto regulatory bill. Gillibrand argues that without a strong ban, the legislation would permit self-enrichment. Her push follows a Reuters/Ipsos poll showing 63% of American adults find former President Trump's cryptocurrency earnings inappropriate. Trump's 2025 financial disclosure reported over $1.4 billion in crypto-related income, largely from the "Trump" meme coin and World Liberty Financial. The poll also indicated 69% believe Trump allows private business interests to influence his presidential decisions. Gillibrand's initial focus was on officials issuing or promoting digital assets, but her latest position explicitly includes profiting from them, citing concerns over financial conflicts of interest. The ethics debate is now central to the Senate fight over the CLARITY Act, with several Democrats calling for stronger provisions on consumer protection, illicit finance, and market integrity. Critics say the current bill has enforcement gaps. The CLARITY Act faces a key procedural vote on September 15th, requiring 60 votes to advance. With 53 Republican seats, supporters will need votes from at least seven Democrats or independents if all Republicans support it. Gillibrand stated she will not vote to give any president a "taxpayer-backed license to cash in on the office."

Trump Earns Over $1 Billion in Cryptocurrency Amid Market Downturn

Donald Trump earned over $1 billion from cryptocurrency in the past year, according to his 2025 financial disclosure. The income, generated while he was in office, came primarily from a meme coin bearing his name and tokens from World Liberty Financial. This occurred as the broader crypto market experienced a significant downturn, with Bitcoin falling about 50% from its previous high. Key sources included roughly $635 million in royalties from the meme coin business and over $500 million from World Liberty Financial token sales. The disclosure also lists major holdings in Bitcoin, Ethereum, and other crypto assets through entities like DT Marks Defi LLC and CIC Digital LLC, with individual positions valued over $50 million. The report highlights investments in crypto-related stocks like Coinbase and mentions a $6 million income from an NFT licensing deal. Trump's substantial personal gains from the industry, alongside his administration's pro-crypto policies, have fueled criticism and debates over potential conflicts of interest, particularly during legislative discussions on digital asset market regulation.

Donald Trump Launches a New Altcoin? An Official Announcement Has Been Made

Eric Trump has firmly denied rumors that former US President Donald Trump is planning to launch a new cryptocurrency. He responded to a post on X, which claimed an official launch was imminent and garnered nearly 2 million views, calling it "an absolute joke" and warning investors it was a "scam." This speculation arose partly due to the Trump family's previous involvement in crypto. In January 2025, Donald Trump launched the meme coin "Official Trump" ($TRUMP) on Solana, which attracted significant speculative interest. Subsequently, Melania Trump announced her own meme coin, MELANIA. These tokens have placed the Trump family at the center of the trend of politically-linked meme coins, facing scrutiny over token distribution and the blending of political influence with crypto assets.

Hacker Leaks GTA6 and Launches a Token: Leaked Videos Become Ad Space for $CYBERLEEK, Must Buy Tokens to Vote for Next Clip

A hacker group called "CyberLeek" has leaked gameplay footage of the highly anticipated video game *GTA 6*, which is slated for release in 2026. Simultaneously, the group launched a meme token, $CYBERLEEK, on Solana. The leaks, which include maps and gameplay clips, are heavily watermarked with advertisements urging viewers to buy the token. Investigations of blockchain data reveal that the token was created and funded from a single wallet approximately eight hours before the first leak was released, suggesting a coordinated plan. The group has implemented a voting system where token holders can "vote" for the next type of content to be leaked by sending $CYBERLEEK tokens to a designated wallet—a process that permanently transfers the tokens to the hackers. This creates a self-sustaining cycle where interest in the leaks drives token purchases. Financially, the operation involved minimal upfront costs (less than $3,500 in out-of-pocket expenses) but generated significant revenue. On its first day, the token saw $15 million in trading volume, netting the creators an estimated $30,000 from transaction fees alone. While the group later burned a large portion of its developer-held tokens (worth over $1 million) to build trust, the fee-generating mechanism remains intact. The game's publisher, Take-Two Interactive, has initiated legal proceedings to identify the hackers. Despite this, the case demonstrates a new model where leaked intellectual property is used as leverage to promote and profit from a cryptocurrency, with meme token markets serving as an additional revenue stream.

All Major Altcoins in the Green. Top 5 Coins by Growth Over Seven Days

All major altcoins are in positive territory, with the top 100 cryptocurrencies by market cap showing gains over the past seven days. Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH) rose by 25% and 30%, surpassing $78,000 and $2,400 respectively, while some large altcoins saw increases of up to 65%.

Cyberleek Leaked GTA 6 Data and Launched a Namesake Memecoin

A group or individuals using the alias Cyberleek have claimed responsibility for a major data leak related to Grand Theft Auto 6. Alongside releasing purported gameplay clips and a map draft, which Rockstar Games is reportedly attempting to remove, they have issued a manifesto criticizing publishers for practices like digital pre-orders and locking single-player content behind DLC. Cyberleek demands publishers abandon these practices and ensure offline play for single-player games, threatening further attacks if their demands are not met. Simultaneously, the group launched a memecoin called CYBERLEEK on August 15, 2026, claiming proceeds will fund future activities and their defense. The token's market cap briefly approached $4 million. Observers note the leaks appear timed to generate attention and potentially drive interest in the token, with more leaks promised. There is no independent verification of the group's identity or their stated intentions for the funds, effectively merging the story of the GTA 6 leak with the launch of a speculative cryptocurrency.

BONK Crypto Treasury Company Has Only $2.14 Million Cash Left, 70% of Revenue Comes from Founder's Own Platform

BONK Inc. (BNKK), the NASDAQ-listed company associated with the Solana meme coin BONK, reported stark financials for the first half of the year. While revenue skyrocketed 6,218% year-over-year to $5.5 million, the company posted a net loss of $7.88 million and its cash reserves plummeted to just $214,000. Its auditors issued a "going concern" warning, citing cumulative losses of $191.4 million, negative operating cash flow, and critically low liquidity. A critical detail is that $3.92 million, or 71%, of its revenue came from an "affiliate revenue share" with LetsBonk.fun, a meme coin launchpad. This platform is linked to founder Mitchell Rudy, whose entity, Lucky Dog Holdings, beneficially owns approximately 40.2% of common stock and all C Series preferred shares. These preferred shares grant the holder the right to elect half of the company's board. The company's financial structure is further intertwined with Rudy; it sold $50 million worth of stock to his entities, accepting payment in BONK tokens. Fluctuations in the value of these and other held digital assets led to an $8.17 million unrealized loss, the primary driver of the net loss. With operating cash outflows of $4.17 million for the half-year, the remaining cash covers roughly nine days of operations at the current burn rate, highlighting severe financial strain despite top-line growth.

Popular Memecoin Platform Announces Termination of Operations Due to Funding Issues!

The memecoin creation and trading platform Printr has announced it is ceasing operations due to funding difficulties. The platform will fully shut down on August 31st. The team stated that after evaluating all options for the past three months, continuing became impossible due to tough market conditions, insufficient funding, and a lack of distributor support. As part of the wind-down process, automatic settlement of all staking positions and rewards has begun, with assets being returned to users' original deposit addresses. The previously planned Token Generation Event (TGE) and airdrop program have been canceled. The Printr application interface will close after August 31st, halting all platform transactions. However, tokens previously created on Printr will continue to exist independently on the blockchain. The shutdown is cited as a recent example of the pressure on early-stage projects from funding challenges and waning investor interest in the crypto sector.

Trader Invested $120 in Memecoin NiuLai and Made a $205,000 Profit

A cryptocurrency trader turned a $120 investment into $205,000 by betting on the BNB Chain memecoin NiuLai. The trader purchased 19.1 million NiuLai tokens for $120 and later sold 9.1 million for $25,900, while holding onto 10 million tokens valued at approximately $180,200. This resulted in a total realized and unrealized profit of $205,800, an 822x return on the initial investment. Blockchain data indicates the trader entered the position when the token's market cap was only $6,270. Driven by online hype, NiuLai's market capitalization surged into the tens of millions. The memecoin, whose name translates to "The Bull is Coming," is inspired by a low-budget Chinese animated film that gained popularity through social media memes. The token's market cap briefly peaked at $29 million before experiencing a sharp decline, with early buyers like this trader securing massive profits.
