Trump made money, bought up stock from crypto companies after his SEC dropped cases against them

President Donald Trump bought up Robinhood stock and earned considerable income through Coinbase transactions after his administration’s Securities and Exchange Commission dropped investigations into their cryptocurrency-trading practices, according to the pro-crypto president’s 2025 financial disclosures.
