Eric’s cryptic <a href="https://x.com/EricTrump/status/1820906993802211751" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener nofollow">post </a>has the crypto community buzzing, with questions about whether a new Trump-related cryptocurrency might be on the horizon. The interest in crypto and the Defi sector within the Trump family has been growing, with past mentions of TrumpCoin, a Solana-based memecoin. Although Eric previously distanced himself from such projects, his recent statements show a newfound enthusiasm for crypto and DeFi. 
<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-why-it-matters">Why it matters?</h2> 
The timing of Eric’s comments is crucial as it aligns with broader political strategies. Donald Trump has made Bitcoin a central theme, participating in the <a href="https://coinpedia.org/news/bitcoin-to-hit-ath-after-donald-trump-bitcoin-conference-2024-speech/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Bitcoin Conference 2024</a> and choosing a pro-BTC running mate, JD Vance. Plus, Trump’s on-chain crypto asset holdings have also surpassed $10 million, largely due to the surge in the price of a memecoin named TRUMP, which, although not officially affiliated with him, has garnered significant investment. 
<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-trump-s-bold-bitcoin-vision">Trump’s Bold Bitcoin Vision</h2> 
Donald Trump has been a significant supporter of Bitcoin over the past year. He has proposed many pro-crypto initiatives and consistently advocated for cryptocurrency, particularly Bitcoin, throughout his re-election campaign. At a conference in Nashville, he outlined his vision for America to become a Bitcoin superpower, promising to establish a strategic national Bitcoin reserve from the Bitcoin seized by the US government. He stated that if elected President in November, he would not sell the 200,000 BTC currently in US custody.

Vice President <a href="https://app.coinpedia.org/kamalaharris" target="_blank" class="profile-details">Kamala Harris</a> <img decoding="async" src="https://image.coinpedia.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/11/10122626/info_icon.svg" alt="information" class="info-icons"> <a href="https://app.coinpedia.org/kamalaharris" target="_blank"><img decoding="async" src="https://image.coinpedia.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/11/09190601/link.svg" alt="link"></a> <img decoding="async" src="https://image.coinpedia.org/app_uploads/profile/1722325775351px0ksud6td.jpg" class="user_profile_img" alt="user_profile_img" title="user_profile_img"> Kamala Harris Kamala Harris is an American politician attorney, and currently serving as vice president of the United States. She is the first female vice president and the highest-ranking female politician in the U.S. Kamala was Born in Oakland, California, and graduated from Howard University with a degree in political science and economics, and later pursued her law degree from the University of California, Hastings College of the Law. As a politician, she implemented stricter laws, the DREAM Act, and federal legalization of cannabis, healthcare, and taxation reform. Harris secured enough non-binding support from delegates to become the speculative nominee of the Democratic Party. Vice President has also been active, recently announcing her Vice Presidential pick, Tim Walz, who has a pro-regulation background. This choice adds another layer to the political dynamics surrounding crypto. 
<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-looking-ahead">Looking Ahead</h2> 
Trump has repeatedly expressed his strong desire to make America the leading crypto power. He believes that the US should use crypto to strengthen its economy and allow cryptocurrency to flourish under the US umbrella. According to him, if the US does not seize this opportunity, China will, and he is determined to prevent that. However, Eric’s interest has confirmed Trump’s crypto interest as Genuine and it could be in the interest of millions of crypto lovers.&nbsp; 
Could this be the game-changer move to boost Trump’s campaign? We have to wait and watch for all the action!
