Bitcoin Is Moving Faster Than Legacy Finance
Eric Trump argues that Bitcoin continues to grow at a pace the traditional financial system cannot match. Over the past three years, BTC rose from around $16,000 to approximately $91,000, recently touching levels near $120,000.
He attributes the rapid growth to expanding institutional adoption. ETFs, banks, funds, governments and Fortune 500 companies are increasingly holding Bitcoin on their balance sheets, transforming BTC from a fringe asset into a global reserve contender.
From the UAE to El Salvador, Bitcoin is being purchased as a sovereign and corporate asset.
Debanking as a Catalyst for Crypto Adoption
According to Eric Trump, multiple major banks, including Capital One, JPMorgan and Bank of America, closed hundreds of accounts connected to the Trump family.
He described the experience as being “economically отключён” for political reasons, highlighting the vulnerability of individuals and businesses within centralized systems.
In contrast, cryptocurrency enables direct, permissionless value transfer. Large sums can be moved on weekends, at night, and across borders — without SWIFT, intermediaries, or institutional approval.
This experience, he says, pushed the Trump family deeper into the crypto ecosystem, resulting in the launch of World Liberty Financial and its stablecoin, USD1.
Blockchain Versus the Traditional Banking Model
Traditional finance is built on delays. Funds can be stuck for up to 72 hours, especially over weekends and holidays. After standard business hours, money often cannot be moved at all.
Blockchain removes these limitations:
Payments are settled 24/7
Transactions are global by default
No intermediaries are required
Fees and friction are reduced
Transparency is programmable
According to Trump, blockchain is capable of replacing much of what legacy banks do — but faster, cheaper and with more user control.
Tokenization Unlocks New Forms of Ownership
One of the most transformative developments, in his view, is asset tokenization.
The Trump Organization has reportedly launched early tokenized property projects in Dubai and the Maldives. Instead of needing millions of dollars to access elite real estate, investors can buy fractional exposures.
This model expands to almost every asset class:
Music
Art
Movies
Commodities
Real estate
Intellectual property
If fans are willing to invest $200 in a record or project, they could instead hold a tokenized share, owning a piece of that asset on-chain.
Tokenization could radically democratize access to investments that were previously locked behind banks and elite institutions.
Bitcoin Price Outlook: $1,000,000 Is a Matter of Time
Eric Trump maintains a long-term price thesis for Bitcoin reaching $1,000,000 per coin.
He notes that every major decline in BTC has historically been followed by new all-time highs. Over the last decade, Bitcoin remains the top-performing asset in history.
As pension funds and institutions enter the market, volatility is decreasing and capital is becoming more stable and “sticky.”
In his view, the only real question is not if — but when.
American Bitcoin: A New Model of Mining Efficiency
Trump also highlighted the performance of American Bitcoin, a mining company that recently listed on Nasdaq.
The company reported a 56% margin and $3.5 million in profit, supported by:
Hut 8 infrastructure
Low-cost Texas energy
Facilities contributing roughly 2% of global BTC production
Its key metric is not just revenue per share or stock price, but Bitcoin per share — increasing each shareholder’s exposure to BTC over time.
This approach turns mining companies into accumulation machines rather than simple profit businesses.
A System in Transition
The message is clear: the transition from traditional finance to blockchain is no longer theoretical. It is happening in real time, driven by:
Institutional demand
Technological efficiency
Censorship resistance
Global access
Asset tokenization
Bitcoin, according to Eric Trump, is not fading — it is becoming the new foundation for a different financial era.
