New Crypto Regulations Likely to Be Big Favor to the Trump Family, Industry Insiders Say
U.S. regulators the SEC and CFTC issued new crypto guidelines that reclassify most digital assets as commodities, collectibles, payment tokens or "digital tools," removing them from strict securities oversight. The taxonomy exempts meme‑coins and other Trump‑family tokens such as $Trump, $Melania, $WLFI and the USD1 stablecoin from mandatory SEC disclosure. Insiders say the lighter regulatory burden could boost institutional interest and further inflate the Trump family’s crypto‑related wealth, which has already risen by $5 billion. The rules also spark concerns over consumer protection gaps for unregulated tokens.
