$TRUMP | ALTS | Donald Trump Launches Memecoin on Solana

Just days before his second inauguration, President-elect Donald Trump and his social media team dropped a Solana-based meme coin called TRUMP.

The announcement went viral, racking up huge trading volume. At first, some on-chain analysts and security experts were skeptical, wondering if it was just another scam. But as things settled down, it seemed like the launch was legit. TRUMP increased 682% within the first few hours of release, after which it corrected with -50%.


Even though people were initially wary because it reminded them of past celebrity meme coin scams, a follow-up post on X (formerly Twitter) cleared up a lot of the doubts. Since then, the coin's price has bounced bac from the correction.

Some analysts flagged that the project got funding from Binance and Gate.io, exchanges that don’t serve U.S. customers. But after digging deeper, those worries faded, especially since the official site for the coin was pretty much the same as past Trump NFT launches, which are handled by CIC Digital, his NFT partner.

Does TRUMP coin have a future?

TRUMP could have a future - at least during the POTUS term. The coin surged to $79 with a market cap of about $11.7 billion. But since 80% of the 1 billion coins are locked for the next three years, the circulating supply currently is more like 200 million tokens, possibly why it may be better for the short term instead of long term (since it is a meme coin, it will not be burned, the supply will only increase).
