A new flashy website attracted a wave of attention Tuesday afternoon, claiming to announce the last cryptocurrency company supported by President Trump.
Mr. Trump’s developers of Trump, according to the website, worked with a company called Magic Eden to launch “The Official Wallet $ Trump” – a trading application for customers to buy and sell digital currencies.
But the announcement quickly sparked an unexpected source: Mr. Trump’s sons.
Donald Trump Jr. wrote On X that the family business Trump had no connection with the new cryptographic product. His brother Eric Trump said He knew “nothing”. And in a rare post on social networks, Barron Trump, the youngest son Trump, said that “our family has no involvement”.
The reaction of the wires at the announcement seemed to expose a flaw in the constant expansion network of Mr. Trump of Crypto Ventures, a network of complex companies led by various family members and associates who now seem to materialize.
On the one hand, Bill Zanker, a longtime commercial partner of Trump and the architect of President even, a type of cryptocurrency generally based on an online joke, that Trump began to promote shortly before his inauguration in January. On the other hand, the sons of Mr. Trump, who helped found World Liberty Financial, a distinct cryptography company that markets its own digital currency, which generated $ 550 million in sales.
In a series of text messages at the New York Times, Eric Trump intensified the dispute on Tuesday, saying that the Trump family would legally contest the creation of the “Official Wallet of $ Trump” – even if it was promoted on social networks by a account linked to Mr. Zanker.
