Trump predicts a major shift in financial markets driven by blockchain technology, which will make systems faster, cheaper, and more efficient, warning that traditional institutions slow to adapt may face decline.

The launch of American Bitcoin was partly driven by the Trump family's experiences with debanking, which exposed vulnerabilities in traditional finance and pushed them toward cryptocurrency.

Eric Trump describes Bitcoin as the greatest hedge to real estate and one of the best assets of our time, reinforcing his bullish stance on digital currencies and their long-term value.
