Trump Coin is here because, of course, it is. On the eve of his inauguration, Donald Trump dropped $TRUMP, a meme coin that instantly shot to a $13 billion market cap like it had something to prove.
It’s nearly past AVAX and SUI for market cap in less than a weekend. WTF is going on?
Some investors are concerned about how centralized this coin is, with 80% of the token being held by the Trump team. It’s sketchy, but 99Bitcoins analysts could see it running up to $50 billion within the year if Trump keeps his promises to the crypto community. That’s nearly a 10x from here.
The Rocketing Debut of TRUMP Coin
Officially pitched as a victory celebration, TRUMP is part collectible, part financial tourist trap, and already one of the fastest-growing tokens to hit the market.
Trump will probably stay in office for 4 years. Even if it it crashes in the next few months, there is always a high chance it will recover. $TRUMP looks and smells and tastes like any other shitcoin (pretty much identical to HAWK in dogshittiness).
But because it’s got Trump’s brand on it, we think it’s gonna Mr. Magoo it’s way to the Moon. Besides being the most powerful man in the world now, Trump is an alchemist that can turn $hit into $.
Hosted on Solana, $TRUMP exploded out of the gate, surging 300% to hit $75 before cooling to $65 by midday Sunday.
Within 24 hours, trading volume roared past $28 billion, as logged by Coin Gecko. Developers initially capped the supply at 200 million coins, planning a slow expansion to 1 billion within three years.
Is There a Chance That $Trump Pulls the Rug?
Trump-linked firms like CIC Digital LLC and Fight Fight Fight LLC firmly control 80% of the$TRUMP tokens.
Just imagine it. Not wanting to get rugged by the president.
It’s a great story you can tell to your grandkids.
> dropping TRUMP memecoin 2 days before becoming president is nasty work
> new SEC/DOJ guarantees no prosecution
> 80% of tokens vest to insiders DURING the presidency
> most ppl losing money will be MAGA who aren't crypto native
> *should* be a crime but crime is legal now ig?— Coffeezilla (@coffeebreak_YT) January 18, 2025
Here’s the thing: Coffeezilla is wrong, has been wrong, and should be held accountable for preventing normies and midwits from making it out of the rat race. He effectively confirmed their biases and neutered any risk-taking so his audience could never afford houses.
I’m convinced he’s working with BlackRock to price retail out of crypto and make it a big boys’ game.
Sure, $TRUMP coin is far from perfect. But why the hell would a sitting president who is desperate about his approval ratings, nuke his base and steal their money?
Plus, Coffeezilla calls everything a scam nowadays from people he doesn’t agree with, like Andrew Tate’s coin and YouTuber Tech Lead’s $MILLION token.
What Does $TRUMP Mean For the Crypto World?
At a moment when US crypto policy hangs in the balance, $TRUMP’s meme coin debut is less absurdity, more timing. Trump’s proposed Bitcoin reserve and regulatory rollbacks aim to cement America’s dominance in the crypto world, and his promise to make the country a “crypto capital” of the world.
Trump Media & Technology Group ($DJT) once gave investors a sense of the man’s public standing. Now $TRUMP could slide into that role, tracking not just his popularity but his ability to shape markets.
Whether it becomes a cultural phenomenon or just evaporates with the next meme cycle, the coin’s launch is undeniably a snapshot of the chaos—and potential—Trump thrives on.
