Former President Donald Trump‘s cryptocurrency portfolio experienced significant gains over the past month, climbing by more than $429,000 amid a surge in digital asset prices.
What Happened: Data from Arkham Intelligence indicates that Trump’s portfolio rose from $6.21 million on Sep. 29 to approximately $6.98 million on Oct. 29, with several branded tokens fueling the month’s gains.
This rally in his holdings follows a broader trend in the cryptocurrency market, where assets linked to public figures have drawn heightened interest.
The largest growth in Trump’s holdings came from his 579,000 Maga Memecoin TRUMP/USD tokens, whose value surged from $1.67 million in late September to about $2.58 million by the end of October, delivering a gain of $909,490, or 54.3%.
