PANews posted on X (formerly Twitter) that Eric Trump, the second son of U.S. President Donald Trump, recently stated in an interview that his family has been involved in three highly successful cryptocurrency projects, collectively earning over $1 billion.
The projects include the TRUMP meme coin, which reportedly soared in market value, at one point surpassing Ethereum. Additionally, the family invested early in NFTs, achieving significant financial gains. Another venture, World Liberty Financial, is described as the fastest-growing stablecoin project globally. Furthermore, American Bitcoin, a mining operation in West Texas, has recently been listed on Nasdaq.
Despite these successes, the broader cryptocurrency market has faced challenges over the past year, with diminishing liquidity, project layoffs, and significant losses for retail investors. Many have exited the market due to these difficulties. Interestingly, the Trump family's most successful projects, which generated over $1 billion, occurred during this challenging period, suggesting a shift in where the money is concentrated.
