Trump Family Issues Stark Warning: Betting Against Bitcoin & Ethereum Could Be a Costly Mistake
The Trump dynasty just dropped a crypto bombshell—and Wall Street’s old guard won’t like it.
Why the elites are sweating
Forget gold or bonds—the next-gen Trumps are throwing weight behind digital assets, calling Bitcoin and Ethereum 'non-negotiable' for modern portfolios. Their reasoning? Institutional adoption isn’t coming… it’s already here.
The regulatory chessboard
With the SEC’s recent ETF approvals and BlackRock’s $10B crypto vault, the 'uncorrelated asset' narrative just got steamrolled by mainstream finance. Funny how billion-dollar inflows tend to change the conversation.
Crypto’s killer edge
24/7 markets. Borderless settlements. Programmable money. While bankers still fax compliance forms, blockchain networks are settling $50B daily without asking permission.
The closing shot
As one Trump scion put it: 'You can hate the tech, but you can’t hate the returns.' Of course, this from a family that knows a thing or two about turning controversy into cold hard cash—just ask Deutsche Bank.
Stop Betting Against Bitcoin And Ethereum
The price action of Bitcoin and Ethereum in the past 24 hours was an opportunity for Eric Trump to reinforce the growing bullish sentiment surrounding the two largest cryptocurrencies. Notably, this is something the Trump family has been actively involved in throughout this cycle.
Taking to the social media platform X, Eric TRUMP noted, “It puts a smile on my face to see ETH shorts get smoked today. Stop betting against BTC and ETH – you will be run over.” In just a few words, he made it clear that he views bearish positioning against the top two cryptocurrencies as a dangerous gamble based on recent price action.
His comment came amid Ethereum’s powerful rally that saw over $212 million in short positions wiped out among traders caught on the wrong side of the move, according to liquidation data from Coinglass. Bitcoin’s breakout above resistance at $120,000 added further pressure to bears, and it showed that the momentum is now in the hands of the bulls.
By highlighting these moves with Bitcoin and Ethereum, Eric Trump not only celebrated the downfall of short sellers but also warned that the upward trend still had plenty of momentum left to play out.
Trump Family Expanding Crypto Footprint
Eric Trump’s vocal support for bitcoin and Ethereum reflects a larger pattern within the Trump family, which has embraced digital assets more than ever in this market cycle. Their ventures include launching the $TRUMP and $Melania memecoins, establishing World Liberty Financial with its USD1 stablecoin and $WLFI token, and securing multi-million-dollar investments to scale their crypto operations.
Interestingly, reports have noted that World Liberty Financial is now approaching large tech and crypto investors to raise $1.5 billion in a move to set up a public company that will hold its WLFI tokens.
They have also moved into crypto mining through a venture called American Bitcoin and partnered with Hut 8 to build what they aim to be a strategic Bitcoin reserve. According to a Bloomberg report, Eric Trump’s stake in American Bitcoin could be worth $367 million when it goes public in coming weeks.
On the regulatory front, President Trump recently signed an executive order permitting cryptocurrencies in 401(k) retirement plans, a MOVE that has the potential of boosting mainstream adoption very significantly.
At the time of writing, Bitcoin is trading at $121,670, while Ethereum is trading at $4,280.
