Eric Trump has declared that cryptocurrency investors are “on the one-yard line” of a financial revolution, urging people to embrace digital assets before explosive growth occurs.
Speaking remotely from New York to a crypto event by Upbit in Seoul, the Trump Organization executive vice president positioned Bitcoin as the ideal hedge against traditional real estate investments.
Traditional Finance Embraces Digital Revolution
Eric Trump emphasized that Bitcoin’s fixed supply of 21 million coins is superior to gold and traditional assets. He predicted “explosive” growth in the cryptocurrency sector over the next 12 to 18 months.
Sponsored“I mean again, the growth of this industry in the next 12, 18 months is going to be explosive and the next decade is going to be, we’re going to look back and say we were the pioneers of rewriting modern finance.”
Despite Bitcoin’s recent surge, Trump insisted “it’s not too late” for new investors to enter the market. He described the current moment as “the earliest stage you can possibly imagine” for digital assets. Trump argued that cryptocurrency is finally reaching mainstream adoption beyond decentralized finance circles.
Major American banks now recognize the threat cryptocurrency poses to their business model. JP Morgan, Bank of America, and Charles Schwab have established digital asset divisions. These institutions fear being left behind by crypto exchanges like Coinbase and Binance.
The second son of President Trump said that his family’s embrace of digital assets emerged from being “debanked” by traditional financial institutions during political controversies, a repeated claim made since his launch of World Liberty Financial. Eric Trump argued that US banks attempted to cancel their accounts despite decades of business relationships, and this experience led the family to explore alternative financial systems.
Crypto Adoption will Set You Free
Eric Trump highlighted the practical advantages of cryptocurrency over traditional banking. A $200 million Bitcoin transaction cost just 60 cents and was completed within seconds. The same transfer through conventional banks would have taken weeks and cost three percent in fees.
Eric Trump warned that countries refusing to embrace cryptocurrency will fall behind in the global financial race. He said that Europe faces particular challenges due to the high energy costs of cryptocurrency mining operations.
Trump described cryptocurrency as this generation’s most transformational monetary development, comparing its potential impact to railways and automobiles.
