Today, in Crypto, US President Donald Trump’s wealth has increased by $620 million, driven primarily by crypto-related ventures. Meanwhile, Coinbase has extended its acquisition in 2025, with blockchain security company Slowmist flagging five emerging crypto attack methods in 2025.
Trump’s Crypto Ventures added $620 million to his net worth – Report
US President Donald Trump has estimated net worth over $6 billion, and reportedly added at least $620 million to his portfolio in a few months thanks to ventures related to the cryptocurrency industry.
Trump’s Crypto Holdings was for the first time representing a “slight portion” of his wealth, primarily due to his family-backed world of crypto business, Liberty Finanty, and his personal Mimecoin, wind drops from official Trump (Trump).
While a large portion of his net worth constituted stakes in his media venture, Trump Media and Technology Group, and real estate, Crypto Ventures reportedly accounted for around 9% of his wealth as of June.
Trump and his three sons have made $390 million through a $550 million token sale at World Liberty Financial, and collectively owns more than $2 billion from the company’s governance token, WLF. The business could have also managed to win $100 million following a $2 billion deal that used Abu Dhabi-based investment firm MGX to solve investments in crypto exchange Binance using its platform USD1 Stablecoin.
Trump’s investment is reportedly worth around $150 million in his memo coin, which drew criticism from many US lawmakers after the president announced his Top 220 token holder dinner and a “VIP Tour” dinner. However, millions of Trump tokens are set to gradually unlock over the next three years, and it remains unclear whether the president is entitled to claim additional tokens.
Coinbase gets token management platform Liquifi
The leading US cryptocurrency exchange Coinbase continues its purchase in 2025 and has acquired token management platform Liquifi.
Coinbase announced its strategic acquisition of Liquifi, a token management platform focusing on early-stage tokenization projects.
“Getting a Liquifi gives you best-in-class features of token cap table management, vesting and compliance, and Coinbase’s position will provide Coinbase to support builders early in their journey,” announced Greg Tsusar, Coinbase’s Vice President of Institutional Products.
This latest acquisition is Coinbase’s fourth time this year, following the $2.9 billion acquisition of Deribit, one of the world’s largest crypto derivatives trading platforms, in May.
According to Tusar, Coinbase’s acquisition of Liquifi aims to address the complexities of Onchain Builders’ launch of tokens, including issues such as fragmented legal, tax, compliance hurdles and regulatory issues.
“We want to remove these barriers by providing both our product and expertise and making token launches simple, compliant and scalable,” Tusar says.
“Liquifi solves these problems by automating the core workflow while reducing the risk of token firing. This acquisition allows you to partner more effectively with builders early in the lifecycle before the token is launched or listed.”
He added that the acquisition is in line with Coinbase’s vision and goal of making token launches “easier, faster and more global than issuing traditional startup equity.”
Slowlist warns of five “insid” code frauds emerging from Q2
According to blockchain security company Slowmist, Crypto users faced an increase in “psychologically manipulative” attacks in the second quarter.
Lisa, head of operations at Slow Mist, said in the company’s second quarter Mist Truck Theft Fund Analysis report, that while there was no advancement in hacking techniques, the fraud is more refined, with an increase in fake browser extensions, hardware wallet tampering and social engineering attacks.
“Looking back at the second quarter, one trend stands out. The attacker’s methods may not be technically more sophisticated, but they are becoming more psychologically manipulative.”
“We see a clear shift from purely on-chain attacks to off-chain entry points. Browser extensions, social media accounts, authentication flows and user behavior are all becoming common attack surfaces,” Lisa said.
