At the time of publication, RTR is trading at $0.0091, according to data on Dex Screener.


Before Trump’s denial, many in the crypto space wondered whether Trump’s son was launching a memecoin. He had published a cryptic post on X suggesting he was working on something related to DeFi.Source: Donald Trump Jr.


“If you care about your dad’s chances to win this election, please for the love of all that is good don’t launch a token,” popular crypto trader Kaiko stated.


“This is a massive mistake,” crypto trader Ben Werkman commented.


“Please don’t launch a token, nothing good will come of this,” crypto commentator SlumDOGE millionaire added.


Since then, Trump Jr. has revealed he is launching a new decentralized finance platform in an attempt to address inequality in banking access.


He has shared little else about the upcoming DeFi platform, only that it would “take on a lot of the banking world” and that it will likely be a long time “before we can do anything.”Trump memecoins’ past volatility
