In short

- The call for clear regulation of the Crypto sector is intensifying in the face of the risk of conflicts of political interests.
Donald Trump denies any personal profit from his same $ Trump
Donald Trump, central figure of the American political scene and now an unexpected actor in the crypto world, said on Sunday in an interview that he did not draw ” No profit »The outbreak of his same $ Trump, launched on the Solana blockchain on January 18. Asked about the potential gains he could have generated thanks to this cryptocurrency, the current president swept away the suspicions: ” I didn't even look. I do not take advantage of anything ».
According to himthe simple fact that his actions or investments gain value when he is president does not constitute an illegal enrichment: ” If I do a good job and the market goes up, should I return everything? I don't believe. Trump also recalled his early support for cryptocurrencies:
I supported the crypto before I was even president. If we don't, China will. It is a new, popular and powerful technology.
Dinner that is controversial
The samecoin $ Trump, the 220 largest holders of which were promised an exclusive dinner with Donald Trump, caused a spectacular flight of token by more than 70 % in a few hours … and an avalanche of criticism. Senator Jon Ossoff (Democrat, Georgia) described this initiative to dismiss, because it constitutes a form of active corruption combining financial interests and presidential function. But this procedure depends on several conditions.
Indeed, the Chamber of Representatives, the majority of opposite, should believe that the facts alleged against Donald Trump is actually the violation of ethics, abuse of power or personal enrichment. However, such a procedure, highly politicized, would then require a majority of two thirds in the Senate to achieve an effective dismissal, which remains unlikely in the short term without a strong bipartisan consensus.

If Donald Trump actually came to be dismissed, political uncertainty could shake up the markets! Bitcoin (BTC), formerly doped at $ 75,000 by its election, could drop to instability. Or, paradoxically, enjoying it, since nothing is really sure in the crypto ecosystem.
Faced with the opacity of the links between political influence and digital assets, this case on Donald Trump's same could well accelerate the development of a stricter legal framework in the United States. Between crypto lobbying, dubious marketing promises and conflicts of potential interests, the urgency of clear regulation as the NASDAQ is claiming now becomes a central issue in the American public debate.
