OFFICIAL TRUMP (TRUMP)

We got paid but wow they really rugged the newbies $TRUMP https://t.co/Peawt5CRg6

This was posted when $trump was soaring, and everyone was indulging in fantasies. In fact, the latter half also turned out to be overly optimistic. The first half is correct; trump's wlfi and meme are purely for making money, with no complex thoughts. https://t.co/79QNGKzLRr

Democrats attacked crypto from the outside, but checks and balances limited how far they could go, and crypto continued to evolve while under attack. Trump is doing something far more damaging: he became an insider and is poisoning crypto from within. By turning crypto into a personal political cash machine, he has handed critics valid arguments to restrict his own involvement and, by extension, impose broader restrictions on the entire industry. Crypto opponents no longer have to invent a corruption narrative. Trump is building it for them: - $TRUMP memecoin: launched right before inauguration, surged on hype, then collapsed, while Trump linked entities reportedly generated major revenue and fees as small traders lost money. - Paid presidential access: top $TRUMP holders were offered private dinners and VIP access, creating a direct appearance of buying access to the president through a speculative token. - Second memecoin event: in April 2026, Trump again hosted top $TRUMP holders at Mar a Lago even after the token had reportedly fell more than 95 percent from its peak. - Trump NFTs: his digital trading cards repeatedly sold access perks, including dinner opportunities tied to buying large numbers of cards. - $MELANIA coin: launched after $TRUMP, with reports of suspicious early wallet activity and large profits for early buyers before the token collapsed. - World Liberty Financial: the Trump family reportedly receives 75 percent of WLFI token sale revenue and 60 percent of future operations, while Trump controls the administration shaping crypto rules. - Foreign money conflicts: Reuters reported the Trump family made hundreds of millions from crypto assets, with significant foreign sourced money involved. - USD1 stablecoin conflict: World Liberty’s USD1 was selected for a $2 billion Abu Dhabi linked investment into Binance, raising obvious questions about foreign influence and private enrichment. - Justin Sun connection: Sun invested heavily in World Liberty while the SEC was exploring resolution of its civil fraud case against him, creating another appearance of pay to play access. - Frozen assets allegation: Justin Sun has sued World Liberty, alleging it froze his WLFI tokens, stripped voting rights, and installed a tool that could freeze holders without clear recourse. World Liberty denies the claims. - CZ pardon: Trump pardoned Binance founder Changpeng Zhao after Binance became tied to Trump family crypto ventures, drawing scrutiny over money, access, and clemency. - BitMEX pardons: Trump also pardoned BitMEX founders who had pleaded guilty to Bank Secrecy Act violations, reinforcing the perception that crypto insiders close to Trump get special treatment. - Trump Media crypto products: Trump Media moved into crypto ETFs while Trump’s administration was simultaneously shaping crypto policy, creating another private profit versus public power conflict.

【Forecast】The CLARITY Act will be enacted within 2026. My estimate is 55-60% Why is it stalled? The biggest reason is President Trump's meme coin ($TRUMP) The President is personally engaging in crypto business, and passing crypto legislation would appear as "for personal gain". Democrats use this as a shield, demanding an "ethics clause". From the Republican side, Representative Tillis has begun saying "I will oppose if there is no ethics clause". The prediction market Polymarket showed the probability of passage at 65% on April 17, dropping to 46% by the 28th. The market is leaning pessimistic. Nevertheless, I see three reasons for a 55-60% outlook. ① The ethics clause is a "compromise-able" issue. Democrats demand "ban politicians from making profit from crypto". If written broadly (banning legislators, bureaucrats, families all), Republicans can't swallow it. But if limited narrowly to "only the President and Vice President", Republicans can compromise. To pass the core CLARITY law, a concession on the small ethics clause piece is made. Such package deals have a high chance of resolution. ② Industry election‑fund pressure is intense. The crypto industry's super PAC (Fairshake) has prepared about ¥29 billion ($193 M) for the mid‑term elections. The pressure of "knocking out lawmakers who oppose crypto in the next election" hits individual Republican legislators directly. Even the defector Tillis is likely to return for the final vote. ③ The Trump administration timeline. If it doesn't pass in 2026, the next chance is 2030. The administration has strong incentive to stage a "crypto victory" before the November mid‑terms. The structure will push through even if they have to swallow the ethics clause. Conversely, risks of removing it: · A new Trump‑related crypto scandal (involving foreign investors, etc.) · Senate deliberation time being taken by other bills · Stablecoin interest issues resurfacing Personally, if the U.S. stops here, Asia and Europe will move ahead with institutional capital under a regulatory‑first approach. Whether it passes before the mid‑terms will be a watershed for the U.S. maintaining crypto leadership. Decision date: December 31, 2026 If it fails, I will honestly write what I missed.

$TRUMP memecoin hit a new all-time low. $10,000 invested in January 2025 would be worth just $300 today. https://t.co/83V67qTuJU
