Donald Trump Jr. distances himself from $TRUMP meme coin: 'I wasn't involved'

  • A cryptocurrency called $TRUMP memecoin launched earlier this year and became central to the Trump family’s expanding crypto activities.
  • The launch followed the Trump family’s de-banking after the presidency, prompting them to pursue decentralized finance despite concerns about anonymous donors and influence risks.
  • In late May, Donald Trump held a private dinner with key memecoin stakeholders, while his son, Donald Trump Jr., distanced himself from the project during a Tuesday CNBC interview by emphasizing his focus on stablecoins and bitcoin mining instead.
  • Trump Jr. Argued that it’s unclear who is behind certain crypto activities and defended cryptocurrency as a way to regain financial access after being excluded by traditional banks.
  • Meanwhile, the Trump family denied involvement in an unauthorized $TRUMP wallet launched by Magic Eden and issued cease-and-desist letters, indicating ongoing disputes and scrutiny over their crypto ventures.
