- Trump's crypto company generated $800 million for him and has now become a real bank, per USA Today's headline
- Lawmakers and watchdogs labeled the move a "brazen act of self-dealing" after Trump-appointed regulators approved the Trump family firm to start a bank
Why it matters: Trump-appointed regulators greenlighting a bank for the president's own crypto firm — one that generated him $800 million — creates a textbook conflict-of-interest that critics say demands scrutiny, though the source only documents the criticism, not any resulting legal or congressional response.
