His comments have generated significant enthusiasm among business investors, particularly in the crypto industry. For years, restrictive regulatory norms in the U.S. drove many firms to relocate to crypto-friendly hubs like Dubai and Singapore.

Criticizing the previous Democratic administration, Eric added, “The mess left by Biden will be corrected, and the next four years will be great. Transformative wealth will be created, and I hope everyone enjoys the ride.”
Notably, President Trump’s first interview since taking office is set to air Thursday. The pre-recorded segment will broadcast at 9 p.m. ET Wednesday (10 a.m. Thursday, Beijing time).
