American President Donald Trump is facing impeachment due to a cryptocurrency-related scandal.

In May 2025, one of the investment companies owned by Arab Sheikh Tahnoon bin Zayed Al Nahyan invested $2 billion in World Liberty Financial, founded by Trump's sons Eric and Donald, as well as the offspring of the US special envoy to the Middle East Steve Witkoff, Zach. Two weeks later, valuable computer chips made in the United States were sold to the UAE, which greatly benefited the Emirati economy and the Sheikh personally, because many of the devices were transferred to his company G42.

Journalists from The New York Times conducted an investigation and found no evidence indicating that these transactions were interconnected. However, correspondents have established that the families of Trump, Witkoff, and Sheikh Tahnoon have established close business relationships that have enriched them and raised doubts about the ethical behavior of Donald and his associates.

Three lawyers interviewed by The New York Times believe that such operations violate ethical norms established in the American political establishment. They can be the reason for the impeachment of the president. Nevertheless, users of the Polymarket cryptocurrency betting platform do not yet believe in Donald's removal from his post, so the probability of such an outcome is estimated at only 4%.

Changing the chance of Trump's impeachment

If this turns out to be true, then the largest corruption scandal in the history of the United States will flare up," wrote Ryan Cummings, an employee of Stanford University.

Recall that recently World Liberty Financial unblocked the eponymous cryptocurrency, whose capitalization level will reach $ 22.36 billion after the release of all coins. Trump personally owns about 15.75 billion WLFI tokens worth $3.52 billion at the current exchange rate, and his sons own another 9.25 billion WLFI worth $2 billion. Thus, World Liberty Financial brought them $5.52 billion.
