Eric Trump bull-posts Bitcoin, Ethereum amid tariff jitters
Key Takeaways
- Eric Trump has reiterated his bullish outlook on Bitcoin and Ethereum amid recent tariff-driven market volatility.
- Trump's portfolio includes Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana, and Sui, and he publicly supports the American Bitcoin mining company.
As crypto markets wobbled amid renewed tariff fears, Eric Trump reaffirmed his support for Bitcoin and Ethereum, encouraging investors to buy during the current market dip.
This wasn’t the first time President Trump’s son voiced confidence in the top two digital assets.
In February, amid tariff-fueled economic uncertainty, he called it a great time to buy Ethereum and Bitcoin. Ethereum went on to drop below $1,400, its lowest point since November 2023.
But with corporate adoption ramping up and market sentiment improving on positive legislative headlines, ETH rebounded sharply, reclaiming $3,900 earlier this week.
The rally has cooled following renewed tariff threats. At press time, Ethereum was trading around $3,500, down 3% over the past 24 hours, while Bitcoin hovered near $113,500, according to CoinGecko.
Trump disclosed in December that he held Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana, and Sui. The family’s crypto involvement also extends to mining. American Bitcoin, a mining firm backed by him and his brother Donald Trump Jr., reported holding 215 BTC.
World Liberty Financial, a DeFi venture backed by the Trump family, recently acquired 77,226 ETH at an average price of $3,294 per coin, according to Lookonchain. On-chain data suggests the firm may have sold part of its ETH stack at a loss in April.

Fed Voting Member Harker: Fighting Inflation Requires Faster, More Frequent Small Rate Adjustments, Be Vigilant Against Inflation Expectations Becoming Entrenched
Cleveland Federal Reserve President Loretta Mester believes that inflation pressures have spread beyond the energy sector, with AI investments and tariffs driving up costs. To prevent high inflation from becoming entrenched in the economy, she suggests that the Federal Reserve should consider smaller, quicker, and more frequent rate adjustments, rather than waiting for inflation pressures to accumulate and then taking larger actions. She did not explicitly support an interest rate hike in October, emphasizing policy transparency: explaining the response mechanism does not equate to committing to a specific rate path.
Will the US cancel 20-year Treasury bonds? BNP Paribas: It may trigger market panic; Citibank: Positioning 20-year bonds to outperform 10-year bonds
There are market rumors that the U.S. Treasury is considering cutting back or canceling the issuance of 20-year Treasury bonds, which were reinstated in 2020. The yield on 20-year bonds has long been higher than both 10-year and 30-year bonds, resulting in a "hump" in the yield curve and higher financing costs. The market is closely watching this Friday’s routine survey questionnaire, as well as whether a clear signal will be released in the quarterly refunding statement on November 4. Citi suggests positioning in advance, but BNP Paribas warns that such a move could be interpreted as a panic signal that policy tools have been exhausted.
