💭 Forgotten Trump Crypto Projects

Donald Trump, by a large measure, is involved with more cryptocurrency projects than any previous president.

However, numerous projects that have received the golden seal of approval from the “world’s greatest dealmaker” seem to have been forgotten, ignored, or just pointless.

For example, perhaps you remember that Trump is the very first president with an official memecoin, $TRUMP?

This project has seen its price collapse from over $42 on the day of Trump’s inauguration to a mere $11.30 when it announced that it was launching its own memecoin wallet.

However, that wallet was to be short-lived, and Trump’s sons disclaimed knowledge of the project.

Three days later, the two projects “aligned,” with $TRUMP abandoning its wallet so that World Liberty Financial could launch its own. World Liberty Financial, another president-affiliated entity, also agreed to purchase a “substantial position in $TRUMP.”

By the time the two projects were able to align, the price had fallen to $9.74.

Now it trades for approximately $4.93, a fall of approximately 88% since Trump was inaugurated.

Despite this “alignment,” World Liberty Financial has yet to launch its wallet.

The $TRUMP team has also not launched any new features or products in the interim.

The Context 153: World Liberty forgot what it was supposed to launch

This isn’t the only place where World Liberty has fallen short.

More than 13 months ago, on December 12, 2024, World Liberty Financial token holders voted to approve a “Proposal To Launch Aave V3 Instance on Ethereum Mainnet.”

However, despite this commitment, with more than 99% of voting tokenholders approving it, this instance hasn’t launched.

World Liberty has found a way to launch some borrowing and lending features, but instead of launching an Aave instance, it relies on Dolomite.

There was never any governance vote to approve Dolomite as the platform for the borrowing and lending features.

This is despite the promise made on the World Liberty Financial website that governance “is the cornerstone of the WLFI platform.”

The $TRUMP memecoin seems almost like a serious project when compared to $MELANIA, the official memecoin for the First Lady of the United States, Melania Trump.

This token traded for $7.42 when Trump was inaugurated; now it trades for $0.15.

This is a fall of 98%.

The X account for this project, which the website claims we should “follow” in order “to stay up to date on all things Melania crypto,” hasn’t posted since October.

It sure looks like Melania Trump wash traded her ‘white hat’ NFT for $170K

This isn’t Melania’s first questionable foray into the world of crypto; she previously launched a project that saw her – or her team – apparently wash-trade her very own NFT.

She also launched an NFT project for which she was criticized for violating NASA photo rules.

Perhaps you would rather consider her “Melania’s Vision” collection, which could be minted for 1 SOL and now has a floor price of 0.25 SOL and a 24-hour volume of 0 on Magic Eden.

Melania has several other projects that mirror this pattern, because these projects are about extracting, not creating, value.

Donald Trump sells the clothes off his back in latest NFT promotion

Trump has his own series of NFTs, because of course he does.

These NFTs even offered you an opportunity to obtain a portion of a Trump suit, a truly wonderful gift, so long as his Depends held up to the challenge.

When these cards launched, you could purchase them for $99, and now you can purchase them for $59.

ANALYSIS: Eric and Donald Trump Jr. are cashing in on crypto

The Trump children are similarly rushing into a variety of incredibly stupid and irresponsible projects.

For example, ALT5 Sigma, the digital asset treasury firm that partnered with World Liberty.

It was originally reported that Eric would be joining the board of directors, though they eventually backtracked, instead stating that Eric would be a simple board observer, and Zach Witkoff and Zak Folkman, two other World Liberty leaders, would be joining the board.

This firm has subsequently fired both its chief executive and its chief operating officer, seemingly related to a money laundering inquiry in Rwanda.

ALT5 Sigma has also been added to NASDAQ’s list of “noncompliant companies.”

Or if you prefer bitcoin mining corporations, then you can take a look at American Bitcoin Corporation, for which Eric is the chief strategy officer.

Data and chart from Yahoo Finance

That entity was trading for approximately $6.82 when it went public via a reverse merger in September 2025; now it trades for $1.55, a true testament to the quality of this firm’s strategy.

It turns out that being a billionaire with connections to the “leader of the free world” doesn’t actually make you a successful cryptocurrency entrepreneur.

A cynical observer might even start to believe that the priority here is not to create good businesses but to extract value to benefit the Trumps.

Google's AP2 protocol has been released. Does encrypted AI still have a chance?

Google's AP2 protocol has been released. Does encrypted AI still have a chance?

Following the MCP and A2A protocols, the AI Agent market has seen another blockbuster arrival: the Agent Payments Protocol (AP2), developed by Google. This will clearly further enhance AI Agents' autonomous multi-tasking capabilities, but the unfortunate reality is that it has little to do with web3AI. Let's take a closer look: What problem does AP2 solve? Simply put, the MCP protocol is like a universal hook, enabling AI agents to connect to various external tools and data sources; A2A is a team collaboration communication protocol that allows multiple AI agents to cooperate with each other to complete complex tasks; AP2 completes the last piece of the puzzle - payment capability. In other words, MCP opens up connectivity, A2A promotes collaboration efficiency, and AP2 achieves value exchange. The arrival of AP2 truly injects "soul" into the autonomous collaboration and task execution of Multi-Agents. Imagine AI Agents connecting Qunar, Meituan, and Didi to complete the booking of flights, hotels, and car rentals, but then getting stuck at the point of "self-payment." What's the point of all that multitasking? So, remember this: AP2 is an extension of MCP+A2A, solving the last mile problem of AI Agent automated execution. What are the technical highlights of AP2? The core innovation of AP2 is the Mandates mechanism, which is divided into real-time authorization mode and delegated authorization mode. Real-time authorization is easy to understand. The AI Agent finds the product and shows it to you. The operation can only be performed after the user signs. Delegated authorization requires the user to set rules in advance, such as only buying the iPhone 17 when the price drops to 5,000. The AI Agent monitors the trigger conditions and executes automatically. The implementation logic is cryptographically signed using Verifiable Credentials (VCs). Users can set complex commission conditions, including price ranges, time limits, and payment method priorities, forming a tamper-proof digital contract. Once signed, the AI Agent executes according to the conditions, with VCs ensuring auditability and security at every step. Of particular note is the "A2A x402" extension, a technical component developed by Google specifically for crypto payments, developed in collaboration with Coinbase and the Ethereum Foundation. This extension enables AI Agents to seamlessly process stablecoins, ETH, and other blockchain assets, supporting native payment scenarios within the Web3 ecosystem. What kind of imagination space can AP2 bring? After analyzing the technical principles, do you think that's it? Yes, in fact, the AP2 is boring when it is disassembled alone. Its real charm lies in connecting and opening up the "MCP+A2A+AP2" technology stack, completely opening up the complete link of AI Agent's autonomous analysis+execution+payment. From now on, AI Agents can open up many application scenarios. For example, AI Agents for stock investment and financial management can help us monitor the market 24/7 and conduct independent transactions. Enterprise procurement AI Agents can automatically replenish and renew without human intervention. AP2's complementary payment capabilities will further expand the penetration of the Agent-to-Agent economy into more scenarios. Google obviously understands that after the technical framework is established, the ecological implementation must be relied upon, so it has brought in more than 60 partners to develop it, almost covering the entire payment and business ecosystem. Interestingly, it also involves major Crypto players such as Ethereum, Coinbase, MetaMask, and Sui. Combined with the current trend of currency and stock integration, the imagination space has been doubled. Is web3 AI really dead? Not entirely. Google's AP2 looks complete, but it only achieves technical compatibility with Crypto payments. It can only be regarded as an extension of the traditional authorization framework and belongs to the category of automated execution. There is a "paradigm" difference between it and the autonomous asset management pursued by pure Crypto native solutions. The Crypto-native solutions under exploration are taking the "decentralized custody + on-chain verification" route, including AI Agent autonomous asset management, AI Agent autonomous transactions (DeFAI), AI Agent digital identity and on-chain reputation system (ERC-8004...), AI Agent on-chain governance DAO framework, AI Agent NPC and digital avatars, and many other interesting and fun directions. Ultimately, once users get used to AI Agent payments in traditional fields, their acceptance of AI Agents autonomously owning digital assets will also increase. And for those scenarios that AP2 cannot reach, such as anonymous transactions, censorship-resistant payments, and decentralized asset management, there will always be a time for crypto-native solutions to show their strength? The two are more likely to be complementary rather than competitive, but to be honest, the key technological advancements behind AI Agents currently all come from web2AI, and web3AI still needs to keep up the good work!
