Trump Family Wealth Soars $1.3B as ABTC and WLFI Tokens Launch - Crypto Markets React
Trump dynasty adds $1.3 billion to fortune overnight as two new tokens hit exchanges
Market Frenzy
ABTC and WLFI launches trigger massive trading volumes across major platforms. Retail investors pile in while traditional finance watches from sidelines—again.
Wealth Transformation
The $1.3 billion surge demonstrates crypto's power to reshape fortunes faster than any legacy asset class. No IPOs, no bankers, just pure digital momentum.
Wall Street's Miss
Another billion-dollar opportunity that hedge funds probably dismissed as 'speculative' while family offices quietly accumulated positions. They never learn, do they?
ABTC Stock Shows Extreme Volatility
ABTC, which returned to US stock exchanges after merging with Gryphon Digital Mining, experienced extreme volatility on its first trading day. Shares soared to $13 before crashing by more than 50% to around $6.72. There were five trading stops because of the high fluctuations, which indicated the strong, but unpredictable reaction of the market.
WLFI also faced high volatility. On Monday, September 1, 2025, 24.6 billion tokens were unlocked to trade, and the prices shot up before falling more than 40%. With these ups and downs, the presence of the Trump family has enhanced their presence in the crypto world.
The total net worth of the Trump family is now more than $7.7 billion, excluding about $4 billion worth of WLFI tokens in the lock-up, according to the Bloomberg Billionaires Index.
The family’s shift towards cryptocurrency has seen the sector gain legitimacy in the US after years of restrictive policies during the previous administration. Nonetheless, it has also attracted criticism among Democratic lawmakers, who claim that the crypto investments of the First Family can be seen as a conflict of interest.
The initial trading of ABTC and WLFI in high profile shows the potentials and dangers of crypto markets. Although such actions increased the wealth of the Trump family, it also highlights the instability that investors in the new DeFi and crypto world are exposed to.
