Eric Trump, the son of former U.S. President Donald Trump, issued a stark warning to the banking sector on April 30th: evolve or risk becoming obsolete. During his discourse, Trump asserted that the current *financial infrastructure* has faltered, citing “inefficient speed and exorbitant costs.” He emphasized that every operation feasible on the blockchain offers greater efficiency compared to the existing methods employed by traditional financial institutions. He specifically criticized SWIFT, labeling it an “absolute failure” for its sluggish and cumbersome transactional processes.
This critique resonates strongly within the cryptocurrency community, which broadly views traditional banking as antiquated. In recent years, Eric Trump has been actively involved in expanding the Trump brand throughout the UAE, with the nation quickly establishing itself as a leading cryptocurrency hub. Furthermore, Eric Trump, an ardent advocate of digital currencies, had previously predicted that Bitcoin could soar to $1 million while speaking at the Bitcoin MENA 2024 conference in Abu Dhabi.
