Democrats now in control of the U.S. Congress could investigate Donald Trump’s crypto ventures and those of his family, after the president amassed close to $1.5 billion through his businesses during his second term. Trump is associated with OFFICIAL TRUMP, which generated more than $600 million in licensing fees and royalties, and with World Liberty Financial, which raised $799 million in 2025. Despite historical criticism from some Democrats, bipartisan support for crypto policy remains substantial, as demonstrated by the GENIUS Act votes and Fairshake’s support for 33 congressional candidates during the midterms. The main risk is congressional gridlock potentially delaying a federal framework for crypto trading markets, rather than an industry-wide crackdown. The investigations could nevertheless produce stricter ethics, disclosure, and conflict-of-interest rules for public officials, benefiting the broader crypto industry.
