The Office of Government Ethics released President Donald Trump's certified 2025 annual financial disclosure in June, reporting more than $1.4 billion in income tied to crypto ventures. Nearly $800 million came from World Liberty Financial, which he co-founded with his sons, including token sales and the sale of business interests, while the $TRUMP memecoin generated another $635 million. The figure reflects reported income rather than necessarily personal investment profit, and Trump said his sons run the family's businesses and that 'we have funds that run my money.' In 2021, he had called Bitcoin 'a scam' that competed against the dollar, saying he wanted the dollar to be the currency of the world.

- Trump’s memecoin ventures derailed CLARITY Act, Scaramucci says
SkyBridge Capital founder Anthony Scaramucci blames Trump’s crypto business interests and memecoin launches for derailing the CLARITY Act, saying they cost the bill Democratic support. He says the memecoin launches shortly before Trump’s January 2025 inauguration undermined bipartisan momentum, while disputes over ethics restrictions also stalled talks, with both sides responsible. The Senate’s procedural motion on Sept. 15 received 49 votes in favor and 50 against, short of the 60 required. Public Citizen estimated investors incurred at least $4.7 billion in largely unrealized losses across Trump-related crypto ventures, including $3.2 billion tied to the Official Trump (TRUMP) memecoin. Scaramucci also said the SEC under Chair Paul Atkins could help tokenization reach “escape velocity,” though it is too early to know whether that happens before the next administration.
- Argentina drops criminal probe into President Milei over crashed memecoin LIBRA
An Argentine federal judge dismissed the criminal case against President Javier Milei over his promotion of the memecoin LIBRA, ruling that his endorsement and the token's later collapse did not establish fraud without evidence of a specific deception. Eleven people were cleared, including Milei's sister Karina and U.S. businessman Hayden Davis, though none had been formally questioned. LIBRA lost more than 95% of its value after reaching about $5, while eight wallets linked to its creator withdrew around $99 million in crypto. The presidency called the probe an attempt to harm Milei's reputation, and the prosecutor is not expected to appeal. Investors who were removed as plaintiffs are challenging that decision, and if reinstated they could appeal the dismissal.
- Move over memecoins: Crypto ‘meme games’ coming, bagholders and all
Illuvium co-founder Kieran Warwick warns that AI tools could unleash a flood of short-lived crypto 'meme games' that attract the same speculators who drove the late-2024 memecoin boom. Development now takes days and around $1,000, and he predicts as many as 100,000 such games could launch within a year. Warwick says this is probably not good for crypto gaming in the long run, and Animoca Brands CEO Robby Yung agrees such games are unlikely to last. DappRadar data shows gaming dApps hold just $232.2 million in total value locked across 2,356 apps, while CoinGecko data shows the memecoin sector's market cap fell from $150.6 billion in December 2024 to $47.2 billion by November 2025.
- Trump-linked tokens lead crypto losses after Democrats sweep in the US midterms
Two tokens linked to US President Donald Trump, Official Trump (TRUMP) and World Liberty Financial (WLFI), were the biggest losers among the top 100 cryptocurrencies on Wednesday, while Bitcoin and Ether rallied. TRUMP fell 17% over 24 hours to $1.33 and WLFI dropped over 7% to $0.047, per CoinMarketCap; Trump-family MELANIA fell nearly 13%, and the VANCE token, which has no confirmed official link to Vice President JD Vance, fell nearly 12%. The slide followed Democrats winning control of both the House and Senate in the midterms, which could make it harder for Trump to push his crypto plans and bring more scrutiny to his family's crypto businesses. Meanwhile, Bitcoin rose over 4% to around $80,500, Ether climbed 6% to $2,433, and the total crypto market gained 3.4% to $2.69 trillion, while the political memecoin sector fell over 16% to $477 million.
- Will Crypto Rally After the Midterm Elections? If History Is Any Guide, This Happens Next.
Bitcoin has historically performed strongly in the year after midterm elections, rising 1,579% in 2010-11, 24.1% in 2014-15, 44.9% in 2018-19 and 92.1% in 2022-23. Excluding the 2010-11 cycle, when the market was much smaller, Bitcoin gained an average of 54% in the year after midterms, according to CoinDesk. This cycle could differ: Trump has issued executive orders on a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve, Congress passed the Genius Act for stablecoins, but the Clarity Act has not passed, and Democrats are favored to win control of Congress and may demand more concessions from Trump. Bitcoin has typically surged for 12 to 18 months after its four-yearly halvings before falling into a bear market, so the post-midterm gains may partly reflect that pattern rather than the midterms themselves. Crypto remains extremely volatile, making near-term outcomes difficult to predict.
- US midterms election 2026 live: What they mean for crypto
Americans voted on Tuesday in the 2026 midterms, with all 435 House seats and 35 Senate seats up for grabs. Republicans hold 53 Senate seats to Democrats' 45 plus two independents, along with a narrow House advantage, while Democrats need a net gain of four Senate seats and three House seats to take control. The results could shape US crypto regulation, including the stalled CLARITY Act, and scrutiny of Trump's crypto ventures if Democrats win either chamber. According to Reuters, crypto industry groups have spent about $176 million across more than 100 races this cycle, led by Fairshake.

- Meta Paid 1.4 Times What Alphabet Did to Borrow in Euros
Meta Platforms priced €9 billion in bonds on November 4, its first-ever euro sale, split across six tranches. Orders reached a record €53 billion, yet buyers priced Meta's spreads about 1.4 times wider than Alphabet's similar euro bonds priced November 2. Coupons range from 4.300% on the €1.75 billion notes due 2031 to 6.400% on the €1.5 billion issue due 2065, and the bonds settle on November 12. The article attributes the wider pricing to Alphabet's higher ratings (Aa2 and AA+ versus Meta's Aa3 and AA-), Meta's first euro borrowing, and its heavy AI spending plans, which include 2026 capital spending of $135 billion to $145 billion. Free cash flow turned to a $2.12 billion deficit.
- If You'd Invested $1,000 Alongside Warren Buffett in Coca-Cola, Here's How Much You'd Have Today
Buffett bought Coca-Cola shares in 1988 at an average of $41.81 each, added more the following year, and made his final purchase in 1994, bringing Berkshire Hathaway's total to 100 million shares. Using the article's example, $1,000 invested at his 1988 price would have bought 24 shares, which after four stock splits would be 384 shares worth nearly $37,000 today. Adding $12,581.76 in cumulative dividends brings the total return to about $49,500, or over $92,000 if dividends were reinvested into more than 960 shares. The article credits Coca-Cola's brand strength, including 32 brands with at least $1 billion in annual sales, and reports third-quarter organic revenue growth of 7%. It also calls the stock somewhat expensive at about 28 times expected forward earnings.
- Broadcom Stock Could Be Approaching a Major Turning Point. Here’s the Price Target
Broadcom closed at $326.08, and the 24/7 Wall St. model sets a 12-month price target of $405.37, implying 24.32% upside and a Buy rating with 90% confidence. Fiscal Q3 AI semiconductor revenue reached $16.70 billion, up 221%, and management guided fiscal Q4 revenue to $34.8 billion, up 93%, though the shares sit 33.9% below their 52-week high. Management expects AI revenue of about $115 billion in fiscal 2027 and $230 billion in fiscal 2028. The article flags risks including gross margin guided near 73% versus 78% a year earlier, reliance on a few leading AI labs, and $59.6 billion of gross fixed-rate debt. The bull case is $534.37 and the bear case $361.78.
