Trump2026-08-28 15:34:00Trump-Linked Crypto Products Have Led to at Least $4.7B in Paper Losses, Report FindsPublic Citizen, a U.S. nonprofit consumer advocacy group, has published a report estimating that five categories of Trump-related crypto products have left investors with at least $4.7 billion in paper losses, most of them unrealized. The figures include roughly $3.2 billion from the TRUMP meme coin, at least $1 billion from the WLFI governance token, about $450 million from the Trump Media digital-asset treasury, and at least $9.3 million from Trump digital trading card NFTs. USD1 stablecoin losses were not counted. Public Citizen said the TRUMP meme coin losses mostly reflect wealth moving to a small group of early buyers, not value disappearing. The report cites Trump's June 2026 financial disclosure showing he made at least $1.4 billion from crypto businesses in 2025. The White House has previously said the president and his family have never been and will never be involved in a conflict of interest. The report was released Aug. 28, according to PANews.470
FOMO2026-08-24 12:08:53FOMO Denies iOS App Hack as Trader Claims $6 Million in Crypto LossesProtos reports that a trader accused a FOMO iOS app update of causing about $6 million in crypto losses, citing a case involving 662 SOL worth about $62,000. FOMO co-founder Prashan Dharmasena rejected the claim and said the account in question never signed a transaction through FOMO’s fee payer. The original allegation came from the X account Derivatives_Ape, while the transaction itself appears to be real on Solana. Dharmasena repeated the denial to at least two other accusers. FOMO also pointed to its self-custodial design and its security documentation, which says the app cannot access, move or freeze user funds. The company’s iOS app remained live in Apple’s App Store at the time of writing.2290
