Hunter Biden defends LAPTOP ahead of Wednesday launch, calls TRUMP a ‘grift’

Hunter Biden defended the LAPTOP token as its planned Wednesday launch approached, framing the project in terms of "resilience, redemption and recovery." In public remarks, he also characterized TRUMP as a "grift," tying that criticism to the rationale he offered for the new token. Biden said the rollout will include distributing coins to nearly one million wallets that had lost money on TRUMP, presenting the initiative as a form of restitution for those investors. He positioned the distribution as a central element of the token's purpose rather than a peripheral gesture. The announcement combines a political critique with a financial proposal, as Biden both criticized TRUMP and pledged a sizable redistribution tied to the token. With the launch set for Wednesday, the plan could attract attention from crypto users and observers monitoring how politically linked projects engage with affected wallets. Details about the mechanics of the coin distribution, eligibility criteria for the wallets, and the broader roadmap for LAPTOP were not provided in the initial remarks. Observers will likely look for more concrete information as the launch date arrives and the team behind the token releases further specifics.
