Donald Jr., his son mentioned in the livestream that the crypto project, World Liberty Financial will help promote financial security and the ability to make transactions freely.

Trump continues to show support for Crypto despite calling it a scam earlier
While Trump previously denounced Bitcoin calling it a scam, the former president has recently shown immense support for the digital-asset and decentralized finance sectors, as the race for votes continues. In fact, he has already vowed that the US will become the “crypto capital of the planet.”
“If we don’t do it, China is going to do it. China is doing it anyway. But if we don’t do it, we’re not going to be the biggest, and we have to be the biggest and the best.”
– Donald Trump
In recent weeks, Donald Jr. and Eric Trump have been promoting World Liberty Financial on Telegram and X.
Regarding this, a finance professor from Duke University, Campbell Harvey stated, “The effort is consistent with Trump’s pro-crypto policy stance … It’s one thing to say you are pro-crypto, and other to launch a company in the space.”
