Donald Trump’s media company is moving to terminate its Crypto.com arrangement, according to Friday reports from the Associated Press at https://apnews.com/article/trump-media-crypto-treasury-cryptocom-cfb8da95070cad9678ff9597f1900791 and The Wall Street Journal at https://www.wsj.com/livecoverage/july-jobs-report-stock-market-08-07-2026/card/trump-s-media-company-unwinds-crypto-deals-Mv0Sz9El7NPnEHYh098k. The source set available for this report confirms the unwind itself, while leaving the broader commercial reset around the Trump Media Crypto.com deal lightly detailed.
What is confirmed about the unwind
Axios reported that Trump Media was unwinding crypto and treasury deals, and The Wall Street Journal separately described the company as unwinding crypto deals. Taken together, those reports support the central point of the story: Trump Media and Crypto.com are moving away from an arrangement that had been presented as part of the media group’s crypto push.
AP’s report also links the development to Trump Media’s wider crypto treasury effort, which means the split is not being framed as an isolated product tweak. What remains narrow in the cited material is the mechanics of the breakup, because the sources available to Coinwy do not add verified terms such as a revised scope, a payment, or a replacement partner.

What the original partnership was supposed to do
In October 2025, a GlobeNewswire announcement said Truth Social would become the “world’s first social media platform offering prediction markets” through an exclusive partnership with Crypto.com. That statement is the clearest source in the brief for what the original arrangement was meant to accomplish inside Trump Media’s platform business.

Because the GlobeNewswire announcement described an exclusive prediction-markets tie-up, the deal looked like a product integration rather than a general marketing relationship. For readers tracking Crypto.com’s wider commercial footprint, Coinwy has separately covered Emirates’ plan to let UAE residents pay for flights via Crypto.com and a Wall Street Journal report that Robinhood was in talks to add Crypto.com prediction markets.
What this changes now
If the termination described by AP, Axios, and The Wall Street Journal proceeds, the most immediate consequence is that the Crypto.com path into Truth Social prediction markets described in the October 2025 announcement would no longer stand as originally presented. That is the clearest operational implication supported by the sources in hand.
The broader question is whether Trump Media still advances other crypto initiatives outside this specific partnership. Axios’ framing of the story around crypto and treasury deals suggests the company has wider activity beyond this one tie-up, while adjacent Coinwy coverage of Kalshi and Polymarket distancing themselves from an IRS deal shows how quickly Trump-linked market structures can be rearranged.
The next hard confirmation is likely to come from Trump Media itself, either through a fresh public statement or a filing that matches or corrects the reporting now circulating. The SEC filing identified in the source package is a reminder that formal company disclosures, rather than market chatter, will be the clearest way to confirm how much of the original Crypto.com plan is being dismantled.
