Odaily News – Hunter Biden, son of former U.S. President Joe Biden, responded on X to the intense price volatility of the LAPTOP Meme coin shortly after its launch, as well as related "Rug Pull" allegations. He stated that the available liquidity at launch was insufficient to meet market demand, which—combined with technical issues and "snipers" engaging in front-running—caused the price to surge rapidly before pulling back. The price has now stabilized.Hunter Biden stated that the team's token allocation is locked, no team members have sold tokens, and he personally has not received any profit from LAPTOP. Currently, LAPTOP's fully diluted valuation (FDV) exceeds $1 billion. The team is exploring ways to optimize liquidity and will continue advancing community development.He also addressed the matter of distributing LAPTOP tokens for free to users who suffered losses on TRUMP, saying that external descriptions of this as a "failure" do not reflect the actual situation, and emphasized that the project will continue to move forward in the long term.For more LAPTOP-related information, read: Biden's Son Launches Meme Coin LAPTOP, Also Plans Airdrop for TRUMP Holders.

Odaily News - U.S. President Donald Trump and his family have caused investors at least $4.7 billion in losses through digital asset projects since 2022. Consumer rights advocacy nonprofit Public Citizen stated that the related projects include the World Liberty Financial governance token, NFT trading cards, Official Trump (TRUMP), and Trump Media's digital asset reserve.Among these, TRUMP investors lost approximately $3.2 billion, while USD1 stablecoin investors did not suffer significant losses. Public Citizen noted that the losses from TRUMP primarily reflect a transfer of wealth to a small number of early buyers, rather than funds disappearing outright. Donald Trump also earned $7.2 million from NFT licensing fees and royalties, as well as over $600 million from World Liberty token sales and equity sales.Public Citizen also called for adding ethical standards to the Digital Asset Market Clarity Act (CLARITY Act), requiring the U.S. President and his family to withdraw from related industry projects. Trump met with crypto company executives last week and called for passing a "fair version" of the bill. The Senate is scheduled to vote on a procedural motion on September 15, and advancing the bill requires support from at least 60 senators. (Cointelegraph)

According to CNN reports, U.S. Democratic Senators Warren and Blumenthal have requested the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) to investigate the "TRUMP" Meme coin issued by Trump to confirm whether the project involves fraud or improper profit. In a letter to SEC Chairman Paul Atkins, the two stated that the Trump Meme coin project "may constitute an illegal scam," and requested the regulatory agency to investigate whether the token involves "illegal fraudulent conduct or facilitates improper profit acquisition." Warren and Blumenthal focused in the letter on whether the project resembles a "Rug Pull" (exit scam) in the crypto industry. They believe that even if it is not a sudden divestiture-style rug pull in the traditional sense, it may still belong to a "soft rug pull" that causes investor losses by gradually withdrawing market support. The SEC should investigate whether the Trump Meme coin poses fraud risks and prevent investors from continuing to suffer losses. As of now, the SEC has not commented on this.
Odaily News – On July 30, the minority staff of the U.S. Senate Committee on Banking, Housing, and Urban Affairs released a new analysis raising Democratic objections to the amended draft of the CLARITY Act. The analysis states that Donald Trump’s 2025 crypto revenue amounts to approximately $1.4 billion, and that current ethics provisions still allow him to retain related business arrangements. The analysis reviews World Liberty Financial, the TRUMP meme coin, cryptocurrency investments, staking income, and other business activities, concluding that provisions restricting officials from issuing or sponsoring digital assets would not materially affect the aforementioned financial arrangements. Staff estimated approximately $799 million in revenue related to World Liberty Financial and approximately $635 million from the TRUMP meme coin. Trump’s annual financial disclosure report lists $635.1 million in royalties from a licensing agreement with CIC Digital LLC related to Celebration Coins, along with Bitcoin and Ethereum wallets each valued at over $50 million, and validator rewards obtained through staking agreements on Coinbase. The Senate draft of the CLARITY Act seeks to prohibit covered officials and their spouses from issuing or sponsoring digital assets for compensation during specified periods, while also establishing exceptions for qualified blind trusts, unauthorized third-party activities, continued use of an official’s likeness, and holding digital asset investments.
