The Trump family is heavily invested in the digital currency sector, but a disturbing pattern is emerging among their backed companies, with virtually every initiative they have pushed appearing as a poorly managed enterprise headed for default. The Trump-backed projects include DeFi Project World Liberty Financial (WLFI), American Bitcoin Corp. (NASDAQ: ABTC), TRUMP and MELANIA memecoins, as well as an assortment of NFT collections.The President’s family has reportedly pocketed more than $1 billion from these investments that are now in deep loss-making territory. Critics have consistently argued that the Trumps are engaged in shady mechanisms that allegedly include pump-and-dump regimes, insider trading, and fraudulent business practices.Let us take a look at each Trump crypto company individually:WLFI was the flagship DeFi platform launched by Eric Trump and his father’s chief Middle East negotiator, Steve Witkoff, in the middle of the 2025 market boom. Initial token sales raised as much as $550 million, which eventually ballooned to $1.2 billion by early 2026, with the Trumps entitled to 75% of the revenues. This new cash cow in the crypto sector proved much more profitable than Eric Trump’s prior conventional business dealings.However, the WLFI token has taken a major hit during the last 6-7 months, after peaking at $0.33 in September 2025. The cryptocurrency now trades around $0.08, reflecting a roughly 76% decline (with recent reports citing up to 80% losses amid controversies over token unlocks and collateral use).This is another Eric Trump investment and a major mining initiative in the country. The firm went public in 2025 and has built a treasury exceeding 7,000 BTC in the process. However, the company’s stock has crashed by 94% recently following a $59 million deficit in the last quarter of 2025.Eric continues to promote his mining firm on s

 After more than a decade of advocacy, Garlinghouse believes the momentum in Washington indicates that the crypto industry is closer than ever to achieving regulatory clarity.

On April 15, the crypto community was caught off guard by an unexpected post from Solana’s official X account.
The account simply posted “XRP,” accompanied by a short animated logo clip—without any explanation or context. Within hours, the post exploded across X, quickly becoming one of the most discussed crypto moments of the day.
What followed was a wave of speculation, memes, and cross-community engagement between Solana and XRP supporters. The conversation escalated into what users began calling the “flip the switch” moment—a long-standing phrase in XRP circles referring to a hypothetical large-scale activation or breakout phase.
Solana’s account then further fueled the discussion with follow-up posts, including lines such as:
“Time to flip the switch”
“We signed 589 NDAs”
The mention of “589,” a number often referenced in XRP community lore, added even more fuel to the narrative and intensified speculation across both ecosystems. Major Solana ecosystem accounts, including Phantom, Raydium, and Kamino, also joined in with memes and playful responses, while XRP accounts responded in kind, turning the thread into a full-scale community exchange.
Despite the viral attention, no official partnership or collaboration was announced.
Price reaction remained relatively muted:
XRP rose around 3.7% to approximately $1.41
SOL gained roughly 0.9% to about $85.41
Both assets, however, have been under pressure over the past months, making any surge in engagement more impactful from a sentiment perspective than from a fundamental one.
Analysts suggest the episode is more likely a high-impact social engagement moment rather than a signal of an actual partnership. Still, the scale of attention highlights how quickly narrative-driven momentum can form in crypto markets.

Bitcoin Price Passes $75,000 as Iran War Turns It From ‘Digital Gold’ Into Geopolitical Settlement Bet
Bitcoin price jumped past $75,000 on Wednesday as traders recalibrated what the asset represents in the wake of the Iran conflict and an unusually stretched derivatives market. Price action, positioning data, and a real-world test of bitcoin as a settlement rail now point to a market that values the token as more than a volatile wager on tech risk.
Bitcoin price traded around $74,000 to $75,000 on April 15, extending a rebound that began after a February low near $60,000. The move leaves the asset up roughly 23% from that trough and about 3% on the week, even as broader macro and geopolitical headlines remain tense.
Spot markets now face stiff resistance in the $75,000 to $76,000 band, a zone several analysts flag as the ceiling of a two‑month consolidation range.

Viral Jack Neel and Jiang Xueqin Podcast Clip Revives Bitcoin Deep State Theory


A viral clip from the Jack Neel Podcast sent a Beijing-based commentator’s CIA-created- Bitcoin theory ricocheting across X, Tiktok, and crypto forums on Wednesday.

Key Takeaways:

A viral clip from Jack Neel Podcast Episode 86 shows Jiang Xueqin claiming the CIA created Bitcoin in 2026.

Jiang’s theory, built on game theory framing, has reached 2.3M YouTube subscribers with zero documentary evidence.

Crypto analysts and rebuttals on Youtube say Bitcoin’s open-source code directly contradicts Jiang’s surveillance thesis.

Predictive History’s Jiang Xueqin Says Bitcoin Is a Deep State Surveillance Tool

The clip, pulled from Episode 86, Part 2 of the Jack Neel Podcast and amplified by several crypto accounts, features Jiang Xueqin, a Chinese-Canadian high school history teacher who runs the Youtube channel Predictive History. The roughly four-minute excerpt centers on Jiang’s claim that Bitcoin was built by the American deep state as a surveillance and black-operations funding tool.

Jiang, who carries the informal online title “Professor” despite holding no university post, frames his case using what he calls game theory. Bitcoin.com News has featured Jiang on several occasions, as some of his predictions, like Trump winning the election and the U.S. going to war with Iran, have come true.

His Bitcoin argument, explained in an interview setting with Neel, follows three questions: who had the technical capacity to build Bitcoin, who benefits from its transparent ledger, and why would anyone build such a system and give it away for free. His answers point to DARPA, the NSA, and the CIA each time.

“When you do game theory analysis, you look at all possibilities, you end up with the deep state,” Jiang says in the clip. “You end up with the CIA.”

Buying coffee with bitcoin is easy, the resulting tax burden is not


You can buy a cup of coffee with bitcoin easily enough in the U.S. — and get a tax headache thrown in for free.

The form-filling burden is enough to deter users from using the largest cryptocurrency to pay for real-world transactions, according to the Cato Institute, a libertarian think tank known for its support of free markets, limited government and individual liberty. Abolishing capital gains tax could change that, it said.

"It’s never been easier to use Bitcoin as money," Nicholas Anthony, a research fellow at the institute's Center for Monetary and Financial Alternatives, wrote in a report. "Yet, at the same time, the tax code puts an incredible burden on law-abiding citizens. Something as simple as buying a cup of coffee every day with Bitcoin can result in over 100 pages of tax filings."

That's because the tax system doesn't treat bitcoin as cash at the point of payment. Instead, every transaction is treated as if an asset has been sold just at that moment, triggering capital gains calculations. And the calculations aren't straightforward.

That means figuring out when the bitcoin (or fraction of bitcoin) used in the transaction was originally acquired, how much it cost and the value at the moment it was spent. The difference is then treated as a taxable capital gain or loss.

Then it gets complicated. It's quite possible the BTC was accumulated in several batches rather than a single purchase. So when you paid for the coffee, the coins could have been acquired at different times, each with its own cost basis and purchase price. Those details need to be retrieved, recorded and reported. Every time.

The headache doesn't stop there, because there is always a risk of penalty or audit in case you make a mistake in reporting.

The fix

Drift secures up to $127 million from Tether for user recovery, pivots from Circle's USDC to USDT after $280 million exploit
Drift Protocol has secured a proposed recovery package of up to $127.5 million from Tether following its April 1 exploit.

The plan includes a revenue-linked credit facility, ecosystem support and liquidity backing tied to USDT markets.

Drift Protocol said it has secured a proposed recovery package of up to $127.5 million from stablecoin giant Tether as it works to compensate users following its April 1 exploit and prepare for a relaunch.

The Solana-based trading platform outlined the plan in a recovery update on Thursday, detailing a broader collaboration that also includes about $20 million from other partners.

The package is structured around a mix of capital and ongoing support. It includes a $100 million revenue-linked credit facility, an ecosystem grant and loans to market makers, with funds directed toward a dedicated recovery pool for affected users.

Drift said the pool is designed to address roughly $295 million in outstanding user losses over time as exchange revenue accrues and any recovered assets are added back.

To distribute claims, the protocol plans to issue a separate recovery token to impacted users.

The token, distinct from the DRIFT governance asset, will represent a claim on the recovery pool and is intended to be transferable. This will allow users to access liquidity ahead of full repayment, according to the incident report released April 16.

Drift’s relaunch will also bring a structural shift in how the platform operates. Per the team, it will move its settlement layer from USDC to USDT, with Tether providing a market-making support facility to help ensure liquidity at launch.
