Trump Filed a Lawsuit Against JPMorgan Chase And Its CEO Over Debanking

2 min read
  • Trump and companies affiliated with him demanded $5 billion from JPMorgan Chase.
  • The bank is accused of unjustified account closures and refusing to provide services.
  • Allegedly, the institution isolated Trump, his family, and associated individuals after the attempted storming of the Capitol by MAGA supporters.

U.S. President Donald Trump filed a lawsuit against JPMorgan Chase and its CEO Jamie Dimon personally, accusing the institution of deliberate debanking. The politician asked the court to deem the firm’s actions unlawful and to award $5 billion in damages.

The lawsuit alleges the intentional denial of access to banking services for Trump and individuals affiliated with him. According to the plaintiffs, in February 2021, after the attempted takeover of the Capitol by the politician’s supporters, JPMorgan Chase closed several accounts without any apparent reason.

Trump believes this happened for political reasons and as a result of pressure on both his family and related organizations. In addition, Dimon’s public statements allegedly caused the president significant reputational damage.

Commenting on the lawsuit in Davos, Trump said he should not have done it. CNBC quoted him as saying:

JPMorgan Chase allegedly did not explain the account closures in any way. In a public statement, the bank denied that it happened for political reasons, citing federal rules and regulations in force at the time.

The organization also said it supports the current administration’s efforts to end the practice of weaponizing the banking sector.

The plaintiffs are asking the court to deem JPMorgan Chase’s actions unlawful and to award $5 billion in damages.

As a reminder, in August 2025, Trump signed an executive order banning the debanking of a number of organizations, including crypto companies. The latter faced deliberate isolation under the Biden administration, a practice known as Operation Choke Point 2.0.

Crypto-Fueled Rekt Drinks Sells 1 Millionth Can Amid MoonPay Collab

The post Crypto-Fueled Rekt Drinks Sells 1 Millionth Can Amid MoonPay Collab appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. In brief Rekt Brands sold its 1 millionth can of its Rekt Drinks flavored sparkling water. The Web3 firm collaborated with payments infrastructure company MoonPay on a peach-raspberry flavor called “Moon Crush.” Rekt incentivizes purchasers of its drinks with the REKT token, which hit an all-time high market cap of $583 million in August. Web3 consumer firm Rekt Brands sold its 1 millionth can of its Rekt Drinks sparkling water on Friday, surpassing its first major milestone with the sold-out drop of its “Moon Crush” flavor—a peach raspberry-flavored collaboration with payments infrastructure firm MoonPay.  The sale follows Rekt’s previous sellout collaborations with leading Web3 brands like Solana DeFi protocol Jupiter, Ethereum layer-2 network Abstract, and Coinbase’s layer-2 network, Base. Rekt has already worked with a number of crypto-native brands, but says it has been choosy when cultivating collabs. “We have received a large amount of incoming enquiries from some of crypto’s biggest brands, but it’s super important for us to be selective in order to maintain the premium feel of Rekt,” Rekt Brands co-founder and CEO Ovie Faruq told Decrypt.  (Disclosure: Ovie Faruq’s Canary Labs is an investor in DASTAN, the parent company of Decrypt.) “We look to work with brands who are able to form partnerships that we feel are truly strategic to Rekt’s goal of becoming one of the largest global beverage brands,” he added. In particular, Faruq highlighted MoonPay’s role as a “gateway” between non-crypto and crypto users as a reason the collaboration made “perfect sense.”  “We’re thrilled to bring something to life that is both delicious and deeply connected to the crypto community,” MoonPay President Keith Grossman told Decrypt.  Rekt Brands has been bridging the gap between Web3 and the real world with sales of its sparkling water since November 2024. In its first sale,…
