Renowned economist Peter Schiff linked Bitcoin’s (CRYPTO: BTC) recovery rally to former President Donald Trump’s sons making a “vague” cryptocurrency announcement. He suggested his followers sell the apex cryptocurrency on this upward move.

What Happened: On Thursday, Schiff took to X to comment on the recent market trends. He noted a significant recovery in assets that suffered during Monday’s sell-offs, with Bitcoin making an even larger leap.

Don't Miss:

• If you invested $100 in DOGE when Elon Musk first tweeted about it in 2019, here’s how much you’d have today.

• Don’t miss out on the next Nvidia – you can invest in the future of AI for only $10.

• Amid the ongoing EV revolution, previously overlooked low-income communities now harbor a huge investment opportunity at just $500.

Schiff attributed King Crypto’s surge to a potential boost from the Trump sons’ vague promise of a major pro-cryptocurrency announcement. He ended the post by advising to “sell Bitcoin into the rally,” in stark contrast to the HODL narrative pushed by maximalists.

His observations were not well received by Bitcoin supporters, with one user, Brooklyn, saying, “BTC did not rise because of the Trump sons. Come on Peter, at least make serious arguments.”

Why It Matters: Schiff’s post came after Bitcoin rallied sharply Thursday, erasing losses from Monday’s free fall.

Cryptic social posts by Donald Trump Jr. and Eric Trump have been a topic of speculation in the cryptocurrency space. The two have dropped hints about a significant announcement related to cryptocurrency and decentralized finance (DeFi).

However, the family cautioned against falling victim to fake tokens, and stated that any official announcement would come directly from them.
