ABTC, WLFI listing frenzy! The Trump family's wealth surged by 1.3 billion dollars in a week.
The latest layout of U.S. President Donald Trump's family in the encryption and mining market is bringing astonishing wealth effects. With the first trading of American Bitcoin (ABTC) and the market gains from World Liberty Financial (WLFI), the total assets of the Trump family surged by 1.3 billion dollars in just a few days this week.
This figure does not include the 4 billion dollars worth of WLFI tokens in lock-up; if included, the Trump family's encryption asset portfolio will be even larger.
Wealth Source Breakdown: ABTC + WLFI Dual Engine
1. World Liberty Financial (WLFI)
New Net Assets: +670 million USD
Token issuance: 24.6 billion pieces
Market performance: Trading volume surged in the early days of listing, but the price subsequently fell by over 40%.
Potential assets: The Trump family holds approximately 4 billion USD in WLFI tokens (during lock-up period)
2. American Bitcoin (ABTC)
(Source: Trading View)
+500 million USD
Event Background: Re-listed on the U.S. stock exchange after merging with Gryphon Digital Mining.
Stock price volatility: Soaring to a high of $14 on the first day, followed by a plunge of over 50% to a low of $6.24, currently around $7.36.
Trading status: On September 3, trading was suspended 5 times due to extreme volatility.
Trump family total assets reached a new high
According to the Bloomberg Billionaires Index, excluding the $4 billion locked WLFI tokens, the Trump family's total net worth has surpassed $7.7 billion.
This growth rate has attracted significant attention in both traditional political and business circles as well as the encryption sphere, as it signifies the rapid expansion of the Trump family's influence in the field of encryption assets.
Political and Market Influences: Legitimacy and Controversy Coexist
Market aspect: The involvement of the Trump family is viewed by some investors as a "legitimacy endorsement" of the American encryption industry, which may attract more traditional capital to enter the market.
Political Aspect: Democratic Party members have expressed concern, believing that the involvement of the First Family in the encryption field may present a conflict of interest, especially against the backdrop of the previous administration's long-standing anti-encryption policies.
Volatility Warning: High Risk, High Reward
WLFI: Although the initial listing was very popular, the price quickly fell back, indicating a strong speculative component.
ABTC: The stock price has experienced significant fluctuations, triggering multiple trading halts in the short term, posing extremely high risks for retail investors.
Future Observation Focus
WLFI locked token unlock schedule: Will it trigger selling pressure after unlocking?
ABTC Price Stability: Can it Establish Long-term Support After Fluctuations?
Political Censorship and Regulation: Will the Democrats' Questions Trigger a Regulatory Investigation?
Conclusion
The Trump family, driven by the dual forces of ABTC and WLFI, saw their wealth surge by 1.3 billion dollars in just one week, becoming the focal point at the intersection of encryption and traditional finance. This is both a highlight moment for the capital markets and a potential trigger for political and regulatory storms. For investors, this is a real case of high returns coupled with high risks.
