Initially opposed to cryptocurrencies, the future American president, Donald Trump, launched his own virtual currency on the night of Friday January 17 to Saturday January 18. The latter has already reached a global valuation of six billion dollars.
“Trump: The crypto-president, a community that celebrates courage and strength”we can read on the official website of the cryptocurrency newly created by Donald Trump. Less than two days before the inauguration ceremony of the president-elect, Donald Trump surprised by announcing, on the night of Friday January 17 to Saturday January 18, the launch of his own virtual currency which bears his name, reports Le Figaro.
The latter very quickly became a victim of its success, to the point of creating a buying fever, raising its overall valuation to six billion dollars. According to the 47th President of the United States, this new motto is a “same corner”an essentially speculative currency that rides on a viral trend, like dogecoin worn by his friend Elon Musk, or on a popular personality.
Trump, the crypto-president
However, for the moment, neither Donald Trump nor the company piloting the operation have yet communicated on the product of the speculation generated. Cryptocurrency experts were initially mixed, the world of virtual currencies being regularly subject to scams, before seeing the President of the United States himself communicate, on his networks, about this new currency.
-The real estate mogul was originally opposed to cryptocurrencies before making a radical turnaround during his last campaign. Today he is championing it, and promises to ease the regulations governing the sector. Its new currency follows a previous one, born in October 2024 and created by entrepreneurs close to Trump, called World Liberty Financial.
