Trump Family Plans to Expand Business in Ethereum, etc.

Solana Emerges as a Beneficiary of the 'Trump Meme Coin' Craze

U.S. President Trump signed the first executive order related to virtual assets (cryptocurrencies) on the 24th, and optimism is spreading in the industry. At the same time, 'Trump Family' meme coins and cryptocurrency projects are gaining significant attention in the market.

Market experts advise investors to be cautious, as there is a possibility of significant volatility soon, with overall selling pressure in the cryptocurrency market decreasing.

The altcoin market, which has been undergoing adjustments along with the recent decline in Bitcoin, is attempting to recover. The leading altcoin Ethereum (ETH) is trading at $3,399, up 5.84% from the previous day, on the Binance USDT market as of 16:08 on the 24th (506,500 KRW on Upbit). At the same time, the relative value of Ethereum compared to Bitcoin (ETH/BTC) also slightly increased to 0.03243.

On this day, Bitcoin (BTC) dominance (the proportion of Bitcoin in the total market capitalization of cryptocurrencies) continued its decline for the third day at 58.51%. The recent decline in Bitcoin prices and dominance suggests that the entire market is showing weakness.

First, the Trump family is pursuing various initiatives centered on cryptocurrency-based revenue generation and lending businesses through cryptocurrency projects such as 'World Liberty Financial (WLFI)'. World Liberty Financial operates based on the technology of the cryptocurrency lending platform Aave (AAVE). Last September, President Trump established World Liberty Financial with his two sons, and Trump's relatives are also registered as company officials.

On the 21st, the Financial Times (FT) reported, "World Liberty Financial has sold more than $1 billion (about 1.4 trillion KRW) worth of tokens since its establishment." It is expected that 75% of the excess profits from the project will be distributed to the Trump family. Eric Trump, the second son of President-elect Trump, stated, "World Liberty Financial believes it will innovate centralized finance (CeFi) and decentralized finance and become the future of finance."

In particular, the Trump family is known to plan to build another large-scale cryptocurrency business based on Ethereum (ETH). There is also a possibility of expanding or supporting businesses based on blockchains such as Bitcoin (BTC) and Solana (SOL).

Joseph Lubin, co-founder of Ethereum and founder of ConsenSys, said on the 21st, "The Trump family is planning one or more large-scale businesses based on Ethereum," adding, "Trump will move in a direction beneficial to the U.S., and support related to Ethereum will be included in that process." He added, "Just as the internet and the web are used in government activities, Ethereum technology is likely to be used in government activities."
