Barron Trump Crypto Went Viral: But It Was Another Trump Crypto Fake

MAGA-loving retail investors were scammed again after another Fake Trump Crypto rocked WLF after a hacker launched Barron Trump Crypto.

What is Barron Trump doing these days? If he is shilling something I’m buying, well, that mindset got thousands scammed this week.

Zach Witkoff, co-founder of World Liberty Financial, became the latest victim of social media hacking. On Wednesday, his X account was compromised, weaponized to promote a fake meme coin fraudulently connected to Barron Trump, son of the former president.

Barron Trump Crypto: What Happened?

The hacker’s post hyped a non-existent meme coin supposedly linked to Barron Trump, teasing an endorsement from the former President. The scam briefly sent the coin’s value sky-high, hitting billions before collapsing by 97%, according to Dexscreener.

World Liberty Financial quickly issued a statement to alert users.

@zachwitkoff’s account was compromised, and a fake Barron meme was posted. Please do not engage. We are resolving the issue ASAP.

Witkoff confirmed his account was reclaimed after swift action by X’s team. The fake post, which briefly wreaked havoc in crypto markets, has been removed.

This isn’t the first crypto scam involving the Trump name. Last month, Ivanka Trump publicly distanced herself from another fraudulent memecoin that misused her image to deceive investors.

Meanwhile, the hacking spree coincides with the legitimate launches of Trump-branded tokens. Even those haven’t escaped the crypto rollercoaster. The Official Trump token nosedived 79% from last month’s high, and the Official Melania Meme coin fell 83%, proving even authentic tokens aren’t immune to the chaos that defines this market.

Crypto Scams Are on the Rise Across Twitter

Trump, Melania, and Barron meme coin pumps are simply due to dumb money flowing in from impatient people who want the bull run now. There are no newcomers; it’s just “rich getting richer, ” a story as old as time.

We haven’t seen a massive influx of new people into crypto yet, and that’s because normies are scared of the last bull run with alts.

The Barron Trump meme coin scam is just the latest reminder of how pervasive fraud has become in cryptocurrency.

Here are a few tips to protect yourself from falling victim to crypto scams:

• Verify Sources—Before investing, confirm the authenticity of a project’s claims and connections to public figures.
• Be Skeptical of Hype – Avoid investments driven purely by speculative buzz or inflated promises.
• Use Reputable Platforms – Stick to well-known exchanges and wallets with robust security measures.
