Donald Trump’s second son just dropped an insane prediction: Bitcoin will hit $1 million.
Speaking at the Bitcoin MENA conference in Abu Dhabi, Eric told a cheering crowd — some sporting MAGA-inspired “Make Bitcoin Great Again” hats — that Bitcoin was “the future of finance.”
“A lot of eyes were opened when Bitcoin hit $100,000, and I can tell you a hell of a lot more are going to open when it hits a million,” he said, adding that his family will be at the “forefront of this innovation.”
Bitcoin’s Trump bump
Eric was short on details on just how the Trumps will lead the charge to $1 million but it’s hard to ignore that the Trump name is now the biggest in crypto.
Bitcoin, the OG cryptocurrency, smashed the $100K barrier after Trump’s election victory, fueled by promises of pro-crypto reforms.
Eric echoed the sentiment, calling his father’s election the catalyst for adding “a trillion dollars” to Bitcoin’s value.”
The family also has skin in the game, with its own DeFi project, World Liberty Financial. The project struggled before Justin Sun, a crypto evangelist and TRON founder, threw in a $30 million lifeline.
Big promises
The Trump playbook includes industry-vetted legislation, a national Bitcoin reserve, and promises to rein in what the industry says is Big Tech’s anti-crypto bias.
But as MONIIFY has pointed out, despite the hype, these pledges could face roadblocks in Congress.
Whether the promises materialize or not, the crypto world hangs on every word the Trump clan utters.
As Eric wrapped up his speech with, “The Trump family loves you,” it was clear they’re doubling down on their new role as crypto’s first family.
