$LAPTOP Coin Launched by Hunter Biden Amid Election Controversy
Hunter Biden has launched a meme coin called $LAPTOP, which is tied to the controversy surrounding a laptop during the 2020 presidential campaign.
The coin's name references the laptop that became a major point of contention before the election. According to Hunter Biden, the coin is a way to reclaim a symbol that was used against him.
Biden posted a video on X that included news coverage of the laptop. He previously challenged the laptop's provenance and chain of custody in a social media post, acknowledging that it contained records from a time when he was in active addiction.
The launch has drawn criticism, with some pointing out Biden's previous attacks on President Donald Trump's crypto businesses, including his meme coin. Eric Trump joined the criticism, writing on X that 'Hunter should go back to painting.'
