Investigation into Trump's Crypto Ventures

Thursday. January 23 at 6:00 AM

A Democratic lawmaker has urged the US House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform to look into whether President Donald Trump's involvement in cryptocurrency conflicts with his presidential responsibilities. Representative Gerald Connolly of Virginia raised concerns about Trump potentially profiting from his World Liberty Financial (WLF) platform and the Official Trump (TRUMP) memecoin, which could violate ethical standards and pose national security risks. Connolly highlighted the involvement of Tron founder Justin Sun, a foreign entrepreneur facing securities fraud charges, as the largest investor in WLF. He emphasized the need for the committee to enforce financial disclosure and conflict-of-interest checks to prevent foreign influence on US policy. The launch of the TRUMP memecoin before Trump's inauguration also raised ethical concerns. Connolly stressed the importance of upholding the Presidential Ethics Reform Act to ensure accountability and transparency in government.

While expressing belief in Bitcoin's utility, Fink clarified that he was not actively promoting the cryptocurrency. He also expressed worries about potential inflation in the coming year, cautioning against assuming that peak inflation levels have already been reached. Additionally, there have been debates about the accuracy of the Consumer Price Index (CPI) as a measure of inflation, with some suggesting that true inflation rates could be much higher. Shareholder proposals have been made to companies like Meta and Amazon to consider adopting Bitcoin as a reserve asset to hedge against inflation.
