Trump Responds to Massive Crypto Gains: 'I Wasn't Aware'

In a CNBC interview on Thursday, US President Donald Trump deflected questions about profits earned during his tenure, stating his business affairs are managed by his sons and that he was unaware of cryptocurrency investments that netted him over $1 billion. "I've always made money," he said. "I'm a businessman, and a very good one. I made money, quite substantial amounts." He noted others are responsible for investing his wealth and that he doesn't know who they are. "I have people handling the money. I haven't even spoken to them — I don't even know who they are," he said. "My son Eric handles that. I don't discuss these things with him."

Trump's latest financial disclosure report showed he earned approximately $1.2 billion from various cryptocurrency holdings last year. He claimed ignorance of these investments. "I don't know. But it's not illegal. I could have known," he said, adding there is no law requiring "recusal from every decision that might possibly relate to you while running the country. That would be completely impractical."

CFTC Chair Criticizes Illinois' 0.2% Crypto Transaction Tax, Says It Hinders Tech Progress

US CFTC Chair Michael Selig criticized Illinois for passing a 0.2% crypto transaction tax, stating the state's lawmakers "stepped on the brakes of technological progress" and disadvantaged its residents in future digital asset innovation. Illinois Governor JB Pritzker last month signed the Digital Asset Tax Act as part of the state's FY2027 budget plan. The law imposes a 0.2% tax on crypto transactions, scheduled to take effect in January 2027.

Selig stated that just as the internet changed how information is transmitted, blockchain will change how value is transmitted. In the future, nearly all assets — from commodities and currencies to stocks and bonds — could be tokenized. He believes Illinois' move runs counter to Washington's push for digital asset innovation and could drive capital, businesses, and tech talent to other jurisdictions.

Foreign Media: Chinese Police Disclose Forensic Process for Tracing and Freezing Cryptocurrency

The South China Morning Post reported that Sun Shengbin from Wenzhou Public Security Bureau and Lou Yandi from the Zhejiang Provincial Public Security Department's Criminal Investigation Unit published a technical paper on June 4th in the journal "Forensic Science and Technology," systematically detailing the forensic process for evidence collection, tracing, sealing, and freezing in cryptocurrency-related cases.

The report indicates investigators can locate assets by scanning private keys, seed phrases, screenshots, and chat records from phones, computers, and hardware wallets. If keys are not directly obtained, tracing can be done using blockchain transaction records, cross-chain transfer paths, mixers' fund flows, and exchange KYC information. For identified illicit assets, police can transfer them to controlled wallets by changing private keys or coordinate with exchanges to freeze accounts. The report also emphasizes that private key custody must be separated from case handling, with a complete audit trail maintained.

People & Opinion

Dragonfly Managing Partner: Still Bullish on ETH and SOL

Dragonfly Managing Partner Haseeb stated on X that the current crypto industry is not moving towards the middle ground. People leaving the industry is effectively a natural selection process, a healthy phenomenon similar to the post-bubble cleansing in the early tech industry. Those who stay are the ones who truly believe in the long-term value. Short-term pain, but long-term gain.

Haseeb added that he remains bullish on ETH and SOL, believing both have a massive future. Crypto is essentially an extension of technology and the internet and will change the world like the internet did.
