Eric Trump scaling back role at crypto firm ALT5 Sigma
Eric Trump, the son of former US President Donald Trump, is stepping back from his position on the board of directors at ALT5 Sigma, a fintech company focused on crypto infrastructure. This decision follows a deal with World Liberty Financial, which resulted in Trump being reclassified as a board observer instead of a full member. The adjustment aims to meet Nasdaq's listing rules and is pending approval from shareholders. Initially, Trump joined ALT5 Sigma's board as part of a $1.5 billion agreement with World Liberty Financial, which also involved the acquisition of WLFI tokens and shares. ALT5 Sigma had previously undergone a rebranding from a biotech company to concentrate on digital assets. The company's involvement in crypto ventures is significant, particularly in light of increasing scrutiny and regulatory concerns affecting the crypto market.
