The crypto-verse is home to thousands of coins and now a coin inspired by former US President Donald Trump has also resurfaced in the crypto market. While this coin was formulated to commemorate the former President, the members of the Trump family weren’t too pleased with the asset. Donald Trump’s son Eric Trump voiced his concerns about the coin through Twitter.
Even though the crypto market’s value is more than a trillion dollars, certain individuals continue to express angst over the industry. One among them is the former President.

The network believes that the latest incident was a clear form of misunderstanding.
