Anthony Scaramucci, founder and managing partner of SkyBridge Capital, a global alternative investment firm, predicted that if Harris were to win the election, her handling of crypto regulation would largely be the same as Trump. The Trump family recently launched a new crypto project called World Liberty Financial. Goals set by those involved in the project suggest that it will resemble a crypto banking platform.

ET, the X account belonging to Trump's daughter-in-law, Republican National Committee co-chair Lara Trump appeared to announce that the digital currency project, dubbed World Liberty Financial, had been launched. One minute later, Donald Trump's youngest daughter, Tiffany Trump's X account also posted an endorsement and a website link. All of which makes it nearly impossible for the public to trace the identity of the person behind the fake World Liberty Financial sites. A few minutes after Lara Trump's posts, her husband, Donald Trump's son Eric Trump, appeared to use his own X account to write "This is a scam!!" All of these posts, including Eric Trump's warning, have since been deleted.

On Thursday morning, Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump told his 90 million followers on X that they would hear his plan to make the U.S. the crypto capital of the planet that same day. But after a rally in Michigan and a town hall in Wisconsin, Thursday ended with no sign of Trump's plan for digital assets. A campaign spokesman did not reply when CNBC asked what happened to the crypto plan rollout. Throughout the day Thursday, CNBC heard from several pro-crypto Trump supporters who were eagerly anticipating what the Republican nominee might say. It was unclear who Trump meant by "they," and a Trump campaign spokesman did not respond to questions from CNBC about the announcement.
