<p>According to a report by Citizens for Ethics, <a href="https://www.cointribune.com/en/donald-trump-wants-to-crush-china-in-the-crypto-field/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Trump</a> owns a digital wallet containing up to 5 million dollars in Ethereum. Arkham Intelligence specifies that the exact value amounts to 3.6 million dollars, including:</p>

<ul>
 <li>1.29 million in ETH,</li>
 <li>986,000 dollars in Wrapped Ethereum (WETH).</li>
</ul>
<p>Another interesting fact: the wallet also contains 372,000 dollars in TROG. This is a meme cryptocurrency representing a frog in a MAGA hat.</p>
<p>These investments, although significant, <strong>represent only 0.067% of Trump’s</strong> estimated fortune. Forbes estimates the latter to be 7.5 billion dollars.</p>
<h2 id="h-the-trump-empire-expands-to-nfts">The Trump empire expands to NFTs</h2>
<p>Beyond Ethereum, Trump has also capitalized on the NFT phenomenon. According to <a href="https://www.citizensforethics.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/08/Candidate-Report-Donald-J.-Trump-2024-Part-6.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">the report</a>, he has <strong>generated more than 7.15 million dollars</strong> through a licensing deal for his “Trump Digital Trading Cards.”</p>
<p>These NFTs, launched in <a href="https://www.cointribune.com/en/nft-donald-trump-will-sell-collector-cards-of-himself/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">two series</a>, depict the former president in various heroic or fantastical scenarios. Despite promising beginnings, the value of these NFTs has experienced significant fluctuations (illustrating the volatility of the digital asset market).</p>
<h2 id="h-trump-the-pro-crypto-candidate-for-2024">Trump, the pro-crypto candidate for 2024?</h2>
<p>In his campaign for 2024, Trump appears to position himself as <strong>the candidate favorable to cryptocurrencies</strong>. He promises to end the current administration’s anti-crypto crusade and even envisions creating <a href="https://www.cointribune.com/en/donald-trump-suggests-using-bitcoin-to-repay-the-us-debt/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">a strategic reserve of Bitcoin</a>.</p>
<p>This approach could attract the attention of investors and blockchain enthusiasts, potentially influencing the political debate around the regulation of digital assets.</p>
<p>In conclusion, Trump’s Ethereum investments and his foray into the world of <a href="https://www.cointribune.com/quest-ce-quun-nft/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">NFTs</a> mark a turning point in the relationship between politics and cryptocurrencies. As the presidential race intensifies, the impact of these strategies on the electorate and the crypto market remains to be seen.</p>
