Ripple CTO: What is Trump Family’s ‘Real Story’ Behind Wallet Launch

David Schwartz, Chief Technology Officer at Ripple, is raising serious questions about the recent announcement of the so-called official Trump Wallet. On June 3, both Magic Eden and GetTrumpMemes publicly announced the launch of the Trump Wallet, calling it the official crypto wallet connected to U.S. President Donald Trump.

But soon after, Donald Trump Jr. and Eric Trump stated that the Trump Organization has zero involvement in the project. Posting on X, Schwartz pointed out a strange detail that GetTrumpMemes is owned by FightFightFight LLC, which helped launch the official Trump coin. That company is co-owned by CIC Digital LLC, a business entity linked to the Trump Organization.

These details have left the question of how the Trumps can claim no involvement if the companies behind the wallet are tied to them. Schwartz called the situation “very bizarre” and also questioned whether the Magic Eden and GetTrumpMemes X accounts had been hacked to post such a fake announcement. 

Schwartz also said that he does not believe the situation is a scam or fraud. He suggested it is more likely the case of miscommunication or misunderstanding between the parties involved. 

With so much confusion from such closely tied entities, Schwartz is now asking what the “real story” is behind the Trump Wallet. The crypto community is left puzzled. If the companies involved are linked to Trump, why the public denial from his family? As questions pile up, all eyes are now on the Trumps for a clear explanation.
