While Donald Trump continues to draw attention with his pro-Bitcoin and crypto-friendly stance, his sons are following in his footsteps. The latest buzz surrounds Eric Trump, who recently found himself in the crypto spotlight on X (formerly Twitter) after being falsely linked to a bullish Ethereum price prediction.
“I Never Said That,” Says Eric Trump
In a post that quickly went viral, Eric Trump firmly denied claims that he predicted Ethereum (ETH) would surge to $8,000 within 38 days. He responded directly:
“Stop this fake news BS. Would love to see it, but I never said this.”
Trump was reacting to a fabricated quote circulating on social media, which inaccurately attributed a major price prediction to him.
Yet Eric Trump Has Publicly Backed Ethereum Before
Despite denying this specific forecast, Eric Trump is no stranger to supporting Ethereum. In the past, he has described ETH as a “significantly undervalued asset” and expressed confidence in its long-term potential, particularly within the decentralized finance space.
He has also revealed that his crypto portfolio includes not only Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH), but also altcoins like Solana (SOL) and Sui (SUI) – projects that are especially popular among younger retail investors.
Eric Trump and Bitcoin Mining
Eric Trump is also the CEO of American Bitcoin, a company focused on BTC mining. His involvement in the crypto mining industry shows that the Trump family takes crypto seriously – not just as a political talking point, but as a real investment and innovation frontier.
Conclusion
Fake news can quickly spread confusion across crypto markets, but this time Eric Trump acted swiftly to set the record straight. While he didn’t forecast ETH hitting $8,000, his public support for Ethereum and his personal investments in crypto confirm that the Trump family believes in blockchain – across generations.
