【Republican U.S. Senator John Curtis Calls for Investigation into Crypto Businesses Involving Donald Trump Jr. and Hunter Biden】

Republican U.S. Senator from Utah John Curtis wrote to Chuck Grassley, chairman of the U.S. Senate Judiciary Committee, and Dick Durbin, the ranking member, calling for an investigation into whether Donald Trump Jr. and Hunter Biden used their presidential family connections to obtain private financial benefits, and requesting that both be subpoenaed. Curtis stated that Donald Trump Jr. had previously accepted a wedding gift from Russian oligarch Umar Kremlev, actively promoted family-backed crypto businesses, and served as an adviser to a prediction market platform; the companies involved are regulated by the Commodity Futures Trading Commission. Donald Trump said that his son had returned the relevant funds to Umar Kremlev. Curtis also called for an investigation into Hunter Biden’s large business dealings with foreign entities and whether the two men used their relationships with the president to create commercial value. He mentioned that Joe Biden pardoned Hunter Biden in December 2024, and that Hunter Biden had previously denied involving his father in business dealings. One week before this call for an investigation was published, Senate Republicans failed to secure sufficient Democratic support to advance the Digital Asset Market Clarity Act. Some Democratic lawmakers opposed the bill, citing reasons including Donald Trump’s use of crypto businesses to obtain benefits related to the presidency; Donald Trump disclosed that he received 1.4 billion USD from digital asset-related businesses in 2025.

The event could intensify controversy over conflicts of interest in U.S. digital asset legislation, but at present it is only a lawmaker's request for an investigation and subpoenas, not a formal investigative conclusion.

Monitor subsequent official information and do not make decisions based on a single report.

Risks and unknowns

Whether the Senate Judiciary Committee responds or formally opens an investigation
Whether Chuck Grassley and Dick Durbin support subpoenaing relevant individuals
Whether the full text of John Curtis's letter and specific evidence are made public

Whether the relevant crypto and prediction-market companies issue clarifying statements
