Trump Media & Technology Group launched Truth API, selling real-time access to President Trump's social media posts to institutional Wall Street clients for up to $1.2 million annually, giving them a milliseconds lead to act on market-moving information. The service has sparked political backlash with investigations and proposed bans over conflicts of interest and market manipulation concerns.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Fintech.

◆ The Wire takeaway

You face a regulatory squeeze as the president's social media advantage becomes a potential market manipulation issue. Cut exposure to Trump's API or prepare for compliance costs and political scrutiny this quarter.
