DONALD Trump has become the first US president to launch a cryptocurrency bearing his namesake, even before his inauguration.
Within a few days of its release, the newly minted $Trump reached a high of US$75.35 per coin, generating over US$15 billion for the returning president on paper. This groundbreaking event highlighted the increasing relevance of digital assets, but is also a stark reminder of how the poorly understood cryptocurrency space can be used for ethically questionable activities.
