Trump’s support among voters aged 18 to 29 has fallen from 43% to 19%. Some young crypto investors dismiss his crypto projects as profit-driven schemes, criticizing the TRUMP meme coin for exploiting crypto-savvy backers. Morten Christensen, an investor holding large volumes of TRUMP tokens, stated that Trump’s reputation is weaker than it was during his presidential campaign. He noted that when attending the second meme coin event held at Mar-a-Lago this year, the online response was markedly different from that of the first event in May 2025. Trump’s financial records show he has generated at least $500 million from token sales via World Liberty Financial.

Utexo, backed by Tether, plans to launch USDT on the Bitcoin network this month. Utexo co-founder Viktor Ihnatiuk stated that the company has secured a commercial license to issue USDT on Bitcoin, and intends to provide APIs, SDKs, and cloud infrastructure for exchanges, wallets, and payment service providers. Built on the RGB protocol and Bitcoin’s UTXO model, Utexo will keep most transaction data off-chain, focusing on three core use cases: USDT private transfers, direct swaps between native BTC and USDT, and native BTC collateralized lending—eliminating the need to wrap BTC for use on other blockchains. USDT was first issued on Bitcoin via the Omni protocol in 2014, before Ethereum and Tron emerged as its primary circulating networks. Utexo also plans to expand support to the Lightning Network following USDT’s Bitcoin launch. (CoinDesk)
