Eric Trump Says Banks Will Adopt Bitcoin and Crypto Soon

• Eric Trump predicted banks will embrace Bitcoin within a year citing banking system flaws.

• American Bitcoin reserves climbed to 6049 BTC worth about 425M after recent buys.

• Hut 8 mines 8 to 10 BTC daily highlighting Bitcoin’s fixed 21 million supply limit.

Eric Trump said every major bank will adopt Bitcoin and crypto, as Trump-backed American Bitcoin’s reserves climbed above 6,000 BTC. He made the remarks while criticizing the U.S. banking system as outdated, slow, and costly. The comments came as Bitcoin moved back above $70,000, even as some traders feared a deeper price dip.

However, Trump tied his crypto interest to what he described as being “debanked and deplatformed.” He said Capital One sent letters notifying him that 300 accounts were removed overnight. He added that without those closures, he would not have entered the crypto space. Trump also said he expects widespread adoption within a year.
