The Story
A majority of Americans believe President Donald Trump and his family have inappropriately profited from cryptocurrency since his return to power, according to a Reuters/Ipsos poll. The poll found that 63 percent of respondents said it was inappropriate for Trump and his family to have profited in that way, while 32 percent said it was appropriate. The poll also found that half of Trump's own Republicans believe the president allows considerations for his business interests to influence his decisions. Trump earned more than $1.4 billion last year from his family's cryptocurrency ventures, including World Liberty Financial and the Trump meme coin. In March 2025, the president called attention on social media to his self-branded crypto coin, describing it as the "Greatest of them all!". The four-day poll was completed on Monday.
