Rivalry offers crypto payment method via $TRUMP meme coin

Key Points
- The crypto coins were released ahead of the inauguration
- The President-elect released the cryptocurrency over the weekend
Sportsbook and iGaming operator Rivalry has added another accepted payment method to its cryptocurrency, US President-elect Donald Trump’s official Solana cryptocurrency $TRUMP.
The Canadian company debuted the cryptocurrency coins ahead of today’s US Presidential Inauguration.
“The addition of $TRUMP as a payment method on Rivalry comes less than 24 hours after the President-elect released the cryptocurrency on Friday evening.
“$TRUMP as a payment method will be available to Rivalry users in jurisdictions which apply to the Company’s Isle of Man license only,” the company said in a statement.
Rivalry customers now have access to this payment option on the Solana blockchain.
Company Co-Founder and CEO Steven Salz commented, “Meme coins are attention monetized, and the release of $TRUMP just days before an Inauguration is a quintessential internet and crypto culture-driven moment which enabled it to eclipse $30 billion in fully diluted value shortly after its debut.
“Rapidly deploying $TRUMP as a deposit method in less than 24 hours is a testament to our ability to identify and lean into these universal cultural moments, layer it into our core crypto gambling experience, and deliver first-of-its-kind experiences to our users.”
