Eric Trump denied that anyone was launching a new Trump-linked coin on Saturday, calling contrary claims fraudulent as TRUMP and MELANIA posted double-digit gains over 24 hours.
“What a joke… This is absolutely not true,” Trump wrote on his Blue-checkmarked X account. “No one is launching any kind of coin. If anyone is suggesting otherwise, it’s a fraud.”
Trump’s post quoted a Whale Scan message published at 2:39 p.m. ET that declared, “DONALD TRUMP IS OFFICIALLY ABOUT TO LAUNCH HIS NEW COIN.” The message did not cite an announcement or identify a ticker or contract address for the alleged new coin.
A separate X post at 3:03 p.m. ET claimed that a fresh Robinhood Chain wallet had received 290 ETH and was interacting with “WWW / ‘Truth Coin’ contracts.” The post’s text did not name a wallet address or establish who controlled the wallet.
The two posts supplied the substance of the circulating claim: an imminent Trump coin launch and unexplained contract activity on Robinhood Chain. Neither post contained an announcement from Trump, Robinhood or a named token issuer. Eric Trump’s response rejected the central launch claim rather than addressing a particular ticker or contract.
