Eric Trump denies rumors of a new family cryptocurrency launch, calling claims fraudulent as TRUMP token rises
Eric Trump denied rumors that a new Trump family cryptocurrency was being launched, calling contrary claims fraudulent and saying, “What a joke… This is absolutely not true,” on his Blue-checkmarked X account [1].
The reported speculation reportedly started from a @WhaleScan post on X alleging Donald Trump would launch a new digital token, alongside an additional unverified claim tying a Robinhood Chain wallet holding 290 ETH to “Truth Coin.” [2].
During a 24-hour period cited in the reporting, the TRUMP token reportedly rose 38%, while MELANIA reportedly rose 18.4%, amid the circulating rumors [2].
Other outlets also reported Eric Trump’s denial of any plans to launch cryptocurrency and characterized the claims as misinformation/fraud [3] [4].
