Though some Donald Trump supporters said nothing would stop them from voting for the Republican candidate, others didn’t seem to be pleased by his latest crypto lending project.
Less than 24 hours after Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump announced plans to launch a token through his World Liberty Financial project, many crypto users criticized the move through social media.
In August, Donald Trump and his sons, Donald Trump Jr. and Eric Trump, began teasing a decentralized finance (DeFi) project through X without many details regarding its purpose. The Republican candidate made headlines on Sept. 12, announcing that he would host an X Spaces discussion about World Liberty Financial on Sept. 18.
In the lead-up to the X Spaces event, some pro-crypto Trump supporters expressed skepticism about the idea. Castle Island Ventures partner Nic Carter reportedly said the project was a “huge mistake,” claiming his campaign was “cashing in on his recent embrace of crypto in a kind of naive way.”
