Over a weekend, the Trump family's financial fortunes soared thanks to the world of cryptocurrencies. The crypto industry was abuzz with the new political shifts in Washington, and one gala event, held at the Mellon Auditorium, became the talk of the town. Among the attendees were well-known crypto leaders such as Brian Armstrong from Coinbase and Jesse Powell from Kraken. The standout attraction of the night was President Trump's latest venture: a meme coin called $TRUMP, launched on the Solana blockchain. This coin quickly amassed a staggering market value of $14 billion. Additionally, the family's wallets received a further boost from another coin, $MELANIA, which was worth over $2 billion. Their support of a cryptocurrency project named World Liberty Financial also proved lucrative.

However, not everyone greeted this news with enthusiasm. Billionaire Mark Cuban expressed concern that coins like these might tarnish the reputation of cryptocurrencies as a whole. Even some politicians, who were present at the event, remained focused on keeping the crypto agenda in the spotlight.

The stunning rise in the Trump family's wealth highlights the explosive growth potential of cryptocurrencies. Yet, it also raises questions about how such rapid wealth accumulation affects the broader financial landscape and public perception.
