Donald Trump Jr. Says New Project Will Not Be A Meme Coin<\/span><\/h2>\n

Trump Jr. also said that the new project he is working on is not another <\/span>meme coin<\/span><\/a>. Instead, he is working on a “larger type platform” that’s very different from a light-hearted crypto. With regards to timelines, he did not give any clear indication of when the platform would launch. He did, however, say that it would be a “long time before we can do anything.”<\/span><\/p>\n

Despite the Republican nominee’s son confirming that he is not working on a new meme coin, several tokens linked to the former President surged in the last 24 hours. Pepe (TRUMP), FreeTrump ($TRUMP) and Dark MAGA (DMAGA) were among the best 24-hour performers in the political meme coin sector.<\/span><\/p>\n
