Trump’s flairs for real estate and crypto align
Donald Trump has always been a notable name in the corporate world, with multiple links to high-profile real estate investments globally. The president’s flair for real estate businesses is poised to continue in the foreseeable future, but not without his newly found crypto interest.
The Trump Organization is planning 19 real estate projects globally. Reports claim all projects will be completed during the president’s second tenure at the White House.
The Trump organization partnered with Dar Global to construct the $1 billion development project. Reports show the project will highlight the Trump brand and provide residential units alongside a clubhouse.
While discussing Trump’s real estate project in Dubai, Eric Trump describes the city as “one of the hottest property markets in the world…evidenced by the amount of tower cranes and the kind of luxury projects being built.”
The city, which Eric describes as a “destination for the entire world,” will feature two penthouses for $20.4 million. According to the report, Eric Trump has emphasized that the real estate project will align with the president’s recent view on virtual assets.
Since his return to the Oval Office, Donald Trump has launched a deliberate campaign for the crypto community. Besides declaring the intention to make the US the world’s “crypto capital,” President Trump signed an executive order to establish a government-owned strategic crypto reserve. Additionally, the administration has overhauled the erstwhile stringent US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), replacing the management with more pro-crypto regulations.
Moreover, Eric Trump will play a significant role in creating the family’s World Liberty Financial DeFi project. According to reports, the 2024-founded crypto project aims to strengthen the global status of the US dollar in the DeFi space.
