Trump crypto move sparks speculation a new coin as Polymarket prices 27% odds and ethics alarms grow.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Donald Trump\u2019s orbit is edging closer to launching another crypto token, and prediction markets are already placing odds on it.<\/p>\n
According to Benzinga\u2019s syndication<\/a> on Yahoo Finance, Polymarket traders are assigning a 27% probability that Donald Trump will launch a new cryptocurrency by year\u2011end. That speculation intensified after Trump Media & Technology Group (TMTG) confirmed the record date for its \u201cDigital Token Initiative\u201d in an official press release<\/a>, stating that \u201cDJT shareholders as of that date will be eligible to receive digital tokens tied to the Truth Social platform.\u201d<\/p>\n The company has described the current tokens as \u201cnon\u2011transferable\u201d and not exchangeable for cash, a structure that means they \u201cdon\u2019t yet meet Polymarket\u2019s criteria for a tradable coin.\u201d Still, the move signals that TMTG \u201cis integrating blockchain technology into its corporate structure,\u201d a clear shift from its prior single\u2011track bet on social media.<\/p>\n A Reuters analysis cited in the article estimates that the Trump family \u201camassed over $802 million from crypto operations in the first half of 2025 alone,\u201d with \u201cmore than 90% of the family\u2019s declared income\u201d now stemming from crypto. By contrast, traditional businesses such as golf courses brought in about $33 million, while real\u2011estate licensing generated roughly $23 million.\u200b<\/p>\n <\/p>\n That haul includes earlier Trump NFT drops and the Official Trump (TRUMP) and Melania Meme (MELANIA) meme coins, which \u201cmade the Trump family millions, despite subsequent volatility and controversy.\u201d At a recent White House press conference, Trump tried to distance himself from an alleged $500 million investment from the United Arab Emirates into World Liberty Financial, saying he \u201cdoesn\u2019t know\u201d about the deal and that his sons are \u201chandling that.\u201d Senator Elizabeth Warren has branded the situation \u201ccrypto corruption<\/a>,\u201d warning about conflicts of interest between Trump\u2019s political role and his family\u2019s digital\u2011asset ventures.<\/p>\n This parabolic move comes as digital assets continue to trade as the purest expression of macro risk appetite. Bitcoin (BTC) is hovering around $71,208.7, with a 24\u2011hour high near $72,268.8 and a low close to $69,082.4, on roughly $42.2B in volume. Ethereum (ETH) changes hands near $2,091.8, after a modest 0.43% gain over the last 24 hours. Solana (SOL) trades around $84.54, with a 24\u2011hour high near $89.08 and a low around $83.87, on approximately $3.5B in turnover.<\/p>\n <\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Trump crypto move sparks speculation a new coin as Polymarket prices 27% odds and ethics alarms grow.
