The Trump crypto wallet
Arkham connected the wallet address to the former president using information from his financial statements filed in August 2023.
At the time the connection was made, Trump held nearly $5 million in ETH and had earned $4.9 million in royalties from the Trump Digital Trading Card NFT collection, bringing him to a "crypto whale" status. The wallet sold off $2.4 million worth of ETH in December 2023, The Block previously reported.
At the 2024 Libertarian National Convention on May 25, Trump brought up supporting self-custody rights, banning central bank digital currencies and even freeing the incarcerated Silk Road founder Ross Ulbricht — for which Ulbricht expressed gratitude. Despite previously denouncing bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies, Trump noted feeling "positive and open-minded" to the cryptocurrency industry, showing that it is indeed becoming an increasingly political issue.
