Eric Trump responds to rumours

The account Whale Scan posted a message claiming that Donald Trump was officially on the verge of launching a new coin. The account added that it had predicted this development first, just as with the previous Trump coin.

Eric Trump wasted no time in dismissing those claims. “What a joke”, he wrote on X. “This is absolutely not true. No one is launching any kind of coin.” He then warned his followers: anyone claiming otherwise is promoting a scam.

Warning for investors

It is not the first time that false rumours about Trump-related crypto projects have been circulating. The Trump family previously launched the memecoin TRUMP, which drew plenty of attention and speculation at the time. That makes this kind of fake claim especially dangerous, as they capitalise on earlier genuine launches.

Crypto journalist Wu Blockchain reported on Eric Trump’s denial and repeated his call for users to be careful with such messages.

Investors would be well advised to always consult official sources before acting on such claims, particularly when well-known names are used to promote a new crypto project.
