From Bank Rejection to Embracing Crypto: The Trump Family's Financial Journey

Abstract generation in progress

【Blockchain Rhythm】Once shut out by the traditional financial system, it has now become an important force driving the development of the crypto industry. Trump recently announced that he will file lawsuits against top American banking institutions within the next two weeks, targeting the unfair treatment they received due to service suspensions.

The root cause of this conflict did not appear suddenly. Trump’s eldest son previously stated publicly that after the January 6 Capitol Hill incident in 2021, traditional banks imposed service bans on the Trump family. With no options left and no room for negotiation—family members turned to the crypto asset sector, which became their breakthrough to regain financial autonomy.

Meanwhile, Trump denied reports that he had offered a well-known bank CEO the position of Federal Reserve Chair and criticized the related media for false disclosures. Behind these series of events reflects the increasingly complex power struggle between traditional finance and the emerging crypto industry.

Traditional finance's crackdown has actually spurred the rise of new crypto giants, this storyline is truly incredible... Banks are digging their own graves.

It is worth noting that this case perfectly illustrates the incentive incompatibility problem from the perspective of Token economics—the traditional financial access barriers are essentially a failure of centralized governance. According to the logic of the white paper, the excluded party turning to decentralized assets further confirms the inevitability of the DAO governance model.

The banks are shutting them down completely, and now they're turning to crypto as a last resort—probably an act of desperate justice... But on the other hand, is this guy really trustworthy?

Haha, being kicked out by the bank has actually made me a promoter of crypto. The plot twist is pretty intense!

The banks pushed them out, but instead gave them a push into the crypto world... Honestly, this move is quite ironic; traditional finance is digging its own grave.
