Trump Media Launches Paid Fast Access to Truth Social Posts for Financial Firms
Trump Media Technology Group has launched Truth API, a paid data feed providing banks, trading firms, and financial institutions with faster, licensed access to posts from the top 10 most influential Truth Social accounts, including potentially President Donald Trump's. The service aims to deliver real-time updates and archived posts to algorithmic traders who rely on rapid information for market decisions. While the company expects this to be a new revenue stream, critics raise concerns about potential conflicts of interest and fairness, given Trump's dual role as president and major shareholder.
