A majority of Americans are questioning the cryptocurrency earnings of U.S. President Donald Trump and his family, with concerns growing over potential conflicts of interest between his private businesses and presidential duties.
A Reuters/Ipsos poll conducted from August 14 to 17 found that 63 percent of Americans believe Trump and his family have inappropriately profited from cryptocurrency ventures since his return to the White House.
The survey covered 1,166 U.S. adults.
Meanwhile, 69 percent said they believe Trump’s private business interests influence his decisions as president. The view was shared by roughly half of Republicans, two-thirds of independents and nine in 10 Democrats.
The concerns come as Trump and his family remain deeply involved in the cryptocurrency industry.
Reuters has reported that the family has gained more than $1.4 billion from crypto ventures, including World Liberty Financial and the $TRUMP cryptocurrency.
The issue has also gained international attention following the U.S. government’s preliminary approval of a banking charter for World Liberty Trust, a company affiliated with the Trump family’s crypto business.
The charter would allow the firm to issue and manage its USD1 stablecoin.
Democratic lawmakers have questioned whether the move creates a conflict of interest involving a Trump-linked company and a regulator appointed by the president.
Adding to the controversy, World Liberty Financial recently partnered with a Hong Kong-based venture that provides access to artificial intelligence models from both U.S. and Chinese companies.
Reuters reported that the Trump family owns a stake in World Liberty and receives a share of its crypto-related profits.
The White House has rejected conflict-of-interest concerns, saying Trump’s assets are independently managed.
The findings come ahead of the November 2026 U.S. midterm elections, where Trump’s business interests, cryptocurrency ventures and questions about presidential ethics could become major political issues.
