Senators urge SEC to probe Trump memecoin amid $3.81B investor losses and $636M insider gains

Senators Elizabeth Warren and Richard Blumenthal have requested the SEC to investigate a Trump-related memecoin, alleging it may be an illegal scam. They claim early buyers, including Trump, profited $636 million while over a million investors lost $3.81 billion as the coin's value plummeted 98%. The senators likened the crash to a rug pull scheme and want regulatory action before more investors suffer losses. This probe comes amid Senate debates on the CLARITY Act, a bill aiming to regulate cryptocurrency, with Democrats pushing for stronger ethics and finance rules before supporting it. The Senate recess on August 6 adds urgency to these decisions.
