“An up-to-date tally of Trump followers turned crypto investors is in. And for them, the overall results are remarkably bad,” the New York Times reports.

“Nearly 1 million people who bought President Trump’s memecoin have lost money through the end of June, according to a report by the cryptocurrency analytics firm Nansen. Their losses total $3.81 billion.”
