Former U.S. President Trump announced on August 22 the upcoming launch of a new crypto asset platform named "The DeFiant Ones."
Trump revealed the news yesterday on Truth Social, stating that the DeFi platform aims to provide Americans with alternatives beyond the traditional financial system.
"For too long, ordinary Americans have been exploited by big banks and financial elites. It's time to address this issue," Trump wrote.
This marks the first time Trump has used his personal platform to promote this "digital bank." After Trump posted, his son also shared the message.
The post includes a link to a Telegram channel named "The DeFiant 0nes," which is introduced as the official channel for Trump's DeFi project.
Trump's son mentioned in an interview that the project also involves "digital real estate."
"This product rollout is fair to everyone—they can immediately access collateral. I don't know if people realize how disruptive this is going to be for banks and the financial world," he explained.
The reference to "digital real estate" has led to speculation that the platform may involve tokenization of real-world assets.
Trump's announcement comes during the final stage of the presidential campaign, serving as part of his and Vice President Kamala Harris's election momentum-building efforts.
However, Trump previously expressed skepticism toward BTC during his presidency, calling it a scam. Only in recent months has Trump adopted a more supportive stance toward the crypto asset industry.
Earlier, Trump headlined the BTC 2024 conference in July, where he stated that if re-elected, he would ensure the U.S. would "never sell" BTC and pledged to make America a "superpower" in crypto assets, solidifying his pro-crypto position.
The Republican Party has followed suit, making Bitcoin mining and self-custody rights a key point in its new platform.
In addition, Senator Cynthia Lummis introduced legislation called the "Bitcoin Act," aiming to treat BTC as a strategic reserve asset.
Trump's evolving stance on crypto assets has drawn significant attention from industry leaders, who believe his progressive policies will benefit the crypto and tech sectors.
According to Trump's report, he had raised $25 million in donations from the crypto asset industry by the end of July.
