Donald Trump Jr. took to social media on Thursday to unveil a new Telegram channel, “The Defiant Ones,” as part of a broader rollout for an upcoming cryptocurrency project linked to his father, former President Donald Trump.
In a post on X (formerly Twitter), Trump Jr. encouraged followers to join the Telegram channel to receive official updates and avoid speculation about the project. “A lot of rumors are swirling about our crypto project,” he wrote. “To get the real story and stay updated with official announcements, join our official Telegram channel. Don’t rely on speculation—get the news directly here!”
The name “The Defiant Ones” aligns with recent trademark filings made by AMG Software Solutions. The filings, reported by The Block in July, include the terms “Be DeFiant,” “World Liberty,” and “World Liberty Financial.” The latter trademark is specifically for “providing financial information in the field of decentralized finance (DeFi).”
In response to circulating rumors, both Donald Jr. and Eric Trump have clarified that the new project will not be a memecoin. Speaking with the New York Post on Thursday, Eric Trump elaborated on the initiative, describing it as “digital real estate” that offers equitable access and instant availability. “I don’t know if people realize what a shake up that is for the world of banking and finance,” he said. “I hope we can help change that.”
The launch of “The Defiant Ones” Telegram channel signals the beginning of a new chapter in the Trump family’s exploration of decentralized finance, promising to provide more detailed information and updates as the project progresses.
