Eric Trump’s Wild Crypto Day: Nasdaq Plots, Denials, and BFFs With Justin Sun?

by

In the ever-expanding universe of crypto where gravity is optional and logic is negotiable, Eric Trump has piped up to clarify that, no, he isn’t playing chess in Tron’s Nasdaq listing scheme. That’s despite the very minor detail of, well, being named as an advisor to Dominari Securities, the firm quarterbacking the whole shebang. But hey, names turn up in strange places. (Ever found yours in a school newsletter you never attended?)

This statement from Eric arrives after the sort of “overlapping” rumors you get when politics and crypto attempt to share a single sofa. He did take a moment to call Justin Sun both a “great friend” and a “crypto icon.” Make of that what you will. Apparently, you can lavish public affection on someone without being, as he quite helpfully puts it, “publicly involved.” 🕵️‍♂️

Trump Family Crypto Ties

For those keeping score at home, not only does Eric sit on Dominari’s advisory board—so does Don Jr. And, while they’re at it, their dad has netted a mind-bending $57 million from NFT sales and the launch of his own TRUMP token. That’s quite possibly the most profitable digital baseball card collection in history—eat your heart out, Topps.

.@tier10k I’m the biggest fan of Tron and love @justinsuntron – he is a great friend and an icon in the crypto space. That said the below is inaccurate – I don’t have public involvement.

But wait, the Trump orbit also includes World Liberty Financial. That’s the company some folks are squinting at for being a little light on disclosures. All this has experts wondering if the real crypto innovation here is “leveraging your surname for maximum blockchain advantage.” Patent pending.

Reverse Merger Details

Dominari Securities is overseeing a $210 million stock offering riding shotgun with Tron’s reverse merger with SRM Entertainment. Now, SRM (a company previously specializing, more or less, in children’s toys—because why not?) scored a $100 million equity injection from a secretive benefactor the same day they said, “By the way, we’re Tron Inc. now.” I guess corporate identity is easier to change than your Netflix password.

This method lets Tron sidestep the messy tedium of an IPO and instead piggyback SRM’s public status straight onto Nasdaq. The new company will stockpile crypto and (I assume) hope investors don’t ask too many questions about why Mickey Mouse and TRX tokens are now in the same portfolio.


Questions About Influence

Just to add another log to the conspiracy bonfire: Dominari’s offices, conveniently, are perched in Trump Tower. That raises questions about whether political handshakes are happening in the elevator—or maybe just in the gym (assuming anyone’s ever seen a Trump there).

Analysts say Eric’s denial is worded with the kind of precision usually reserved for timeshare contracts: designed to keep him out of the official frame but possibly in line for some backstage rewards. He’s not in any public filings, but as long as he’s on the advisory board, it’s tough to believe his role is all smoke and no fire. 🤷‍♂️

Justin Sun’s Strategy

Never one to miss a networking buffet, Justin Sun’s been everywhere. He popped up at a private crypto dinner hosted by Donald Trump and, as a cherry on top, snapped up a $75 million slice of World Liberty Financial last year. Fun coincidence: the SEC decided to pause its probe into Sun and the Tron Foundation right after. Now, I’m not saying correlation equals causation, but the timing does make you go, “hmm.”
