• Donald Trump is promoting “The DeFiant Ones,” a new family-run decentralized finance (DeFi) platform, on Truth Social.
  • This move is part of his broader appeal to the crypto community, positioning himself as a pro-crypto U.S. presidential candidate.
  • However, specific details about the platform’s functionality or launch date remain scant as of Friday.

As a seasoned analyst with over two decades of experience in finance and technology, I find myself intrigued by Donald Trump’s latest foray into the crypto realm. While his previous ventures have been somewhat controversial, his move to promote “The DeFiant Ones” on Truth Social is an interesting development in the evolving narrative of decentralized finance (DeFi).


Donald Trump is advocating for a cryptocurrency venture managed by a family, positioning himself as a supporter of digital currencies in preparation for the U.S. presidential election in November.

Trump recently endorsed the upcoming Decentralized Finance (DeFi) platform “The DeFiant Ones” to his 7.5 million followers on Truth Social. He shared a link to a Telegram group for the project, which had approximately 40,000 subscribers by Friday.

Trump wrote, “Americans have been unfairly burdened by large banks and wealthy financiers for far too long. It’s high time we unite to make a change.”

Donald Trump Jr., one of Trump’s sons, recently shared an image on his social media account (X), following a series of promotional activities with his brother Eric Trump over several weeks. The Trumps, being the offspring, are spearheading this initiative.

Scant information is available regarding this platform, with neither confirmed launch dates nor comprehensive details disclosed. Nonetheless, posts made within The Defiant Ones’ Telegram community refer to it as “The Trump DeFi Project” and describe it as a potential game-changer in the financial sector.

Earlier this month, prior to the unveiling of the project, Eric Trump expressed his deep affection for Cryptocurrency/DeFi and hinted at making a significant impact on the crypto sphere with an imminent development.

Trump, as the Republican nominee, isn’t new to ventures involving cryptocurrency. Previously, companies associated with Trump or licensed by him have been involved in non-interchangeable token (NFT) initiatives and a series of sneakers themed around bitcoin, which sold out rapidly shortly after they were introduced.
A recent revelation from August indicates that Donald Trump owns Ether (ETH) worth between $1 million and $5 million, and has earned over $7 million through an NFT licensing agreement. Previously in July, it was announced that he intends to launch a new series of NFTs, marking his fourth collection.

In July, during the Bitcoin Conference held in Nashville, Trump pledged that he would establish and preserve a “national strategic bitcoin reserve” should he be re-elected.
