Melania Meme Coin ($MELANIA) Price Prediction 2025 – 2030

The first meme coin officially endorsed by Melania Trump—Melania Meme Coin ($MELANIA)—launched on January 19, 2025 just hours ahead of Donald Trump’s inauguration. It rocketed upwards early on, but quickly reversed direction and fell below its launch price.

So, where does $MELANIA go from here? In my Melania Meme Coin price prediction, I’ll explore this new meme coin’s potential and help investors decide if it’s a good buy now.

$MELANIA Meme Coin Price History

Melania Meme Coin launched on the Solana blockchain on January 19, 2025—just two days after her husband launched the OFFICIAL TRUMP ($TRUMP) token and just 24 hours before Donald Trump’s inauguration.

The token initially met massive success, rising from a launch price of $7.40 to an all-time high of $13.73 within a few hours. $MELANIA’s launch even prompted a drop in the price of $TRUMP as traders switched from one token to the other. The token had a market cap of more than $2 billion and was the 7th-largest meme coin for a brief period of time.

However, after the first few hours, $MELANIA lost its momentum and has been falling since.

$MELANIA Meme Coin Price Prediction 2025: The Year Ahead

Melania Meme Coin is less than 24 hours old, so any price predictions come with a lot of uncertainty about what the next 11 months could hold. That said, we can learn a lot from what’s happened since the token’s launch.

$MELANIA initially saw hype-driven gains as traders flocked to the token to try to capture the same gains that $TRUMP saw when it first launched a few days ago. However, Melania Trump is nowhere near as popular or influential as Donald Trump, so it’s no surprise that the momentum for her token faded out much more quickly.

After only about 12 hours, $MELANIA began falling and quickly ended up below the token’s list price. Most successful meme coins enjoy much more sustained momentum, so this is a potentially very bad signal for the token’s future. If $MELANIA couldn’t hold onto some of its gains a day after the token’s launch, it’s hard to see how it will reclaim that lost value.

That said, I do see a few potential catalysts on the horizon for Melania Meme Coin. First, Melania will officially take up residence in the White House on January 20. Once that happens, the First Lady could make headlines with her decorating choices and events, as well as by spearheading initiatives that fall outside the Trump administration proper.

Another potential catalyst that could prop up the price of $MELANIA is an exchange listing on either Coinbase or Binance. Both exchanges are likely to list the meme coin in order to curry favor with President Trump.

However, these positive events are likely to result in short upswings in the $MELANIA token’s price against a broader backdrop of losses. None of them are likely to truly reverse the token’s direction. As a result, they could provide opportunities for trading, but they won’t play a major role in how investors view $MELANIA.

By the end of the year, $MELANIA could slide to an average price of $4.50.

$MELANIA Meme Coin Price Prediction 2026: A Look-Ahead

2026 is likely to see an accelerated decline in the token’s price. Not only will the token be one year old—a lifetime in meme coin timeframes—but it will also face headwinds due to its unusual tokenomics.

$MELANIA was designed such that as of launch, only about 192 million tokens out of a total supply of 1 billion are in circulation. The remainder can enter the market over the next 13 months (i.e., by February 2026) as tokens reserved for Melania Trump and her team vest. 35% of the token supply is reserved for Melania’s team, while 20% is reserved for the Trump-controlled project treasury, and 20% is reserved for a thin-on-details “community” allocation.

This concentrates power over the project in the hands of Melania Trump and her team and enables her to cash out tokens at the expense of other investors. In effect, Melania has the power to cash out more than one-third of the token supply, heavily diluting investors’ existing holdings in the process. In contrast, most meme coins put 100% or nearly 100% of tokens in the hands of their community from the beginning.

This means that as time passes, Melania Trump has the ability to sell more tokens. By early 2026, all of the team tokens will have vested, creating an enormously unfavorable and high-risk situation for ordinary investors. Anyone still holding tokens has a strong incentive to sell to get out of this situation.

Because of this, I predict the $MELANIA token’s price will crash in early 2026 and have a difficult time recovering. If Melania does sell tokens, I expect another sharp downturn in the meme coin’s price.

How low can $MELANIA go? If Melania doesn’t make any moves to sell,  it could average $1.70.

$MELANIA Meme Coin Price Forecast 2030: Long-Term Outlook

My long-term outlook for the Melania Meme Coin is highly bearish. It’s difficult to envision a future for this token after the expected losses in 2026. Even if Melania doesn’t sell her tokens, then it’s a near-certainty that she will begin to cash out in 2027 or 2028 before Trump leaves office.

After Trump leaves office, Melania is most likely to disappear almost completely from the spotlight. Over the past 4 years, when Donald Trump was out of office, Melania was rarely heard from. She generally didn’t appear at campaign events and only appeared in public over the past year to promote her book.

Without news around Melania, the $MELANIA token is unlikely to see much trading activity. In effect, the project will have run its course long before 2030, leaving it virtually worthless by this time. We predict an average price of $0.20.

What Influences the Price of $MELANIA Meme Coin?

There are several key factors that are likely to influence the price of Melania Meme Coin:

• Hype around Trump Family: Hype around the Trump family, and especially Melania Trump, is likely to be the biggest driver of interest in the $MELANIA token. The more time Melania spends in the spotlight, the more interest will likely form around her meme coin. If Melania remains in the background, her token is likely to underperform.

• Meme Coin Market Conditions: Melania meme coin is likely to be one of many meme coin supercycle tokens to launch this year. This is both good and bad for $MELANIA’s price. On the one hand, a growing meme coin market is expected to boost the token’s value. On the other hand, Melania Meme Coin will face competition from alternative tokens that are more relevant to traders and investors.

• Marketing and Promotion Efforts: It’s unclear at this point how much marketing and promotion Melania Trump—or Donald Trump, for that matter—plans to do around the $MELANIA meme coin. She posted about the token on X. But if Melania doesn’t publicize the token a lot, investors are more likely to lose interest in it.

• Selling Activity by Project Team: It’s unclear whether Melania and the Trump team plan to sell tokens as they unlock or all at once—or never. Any selling activity of the team tokens would likely scare investors away, resulting in a sharp downturn in the $MELANIA token’s price.

Alternatives to the $MELANIA Meme Coin: My View

The Melania Meme Coin has enjoyed a strong price rally since launching. We don’t see this trend lasting for long. There are simply too many red flags and we feel this will be a short-lived hype. It’s worth considering some alternatives, especially if you prefer long-term value investing over short-term trading. Check out our articles on the best cryptocurrencies to buy right now for projects that we think will outperform Melania.

Conclusion

Melania Meme Coin got off to an impressive start, but its momentum quickly sputtered out. Now, the token seems like a hard sell considering that the Trump team has tight control over its future, and the tokenomics leave investors at a significant disadvantage.

Investors looking for crypto gains under the Trump administration are likely better off with emerging meme coins like Wall Street Pepe and Solaxy. I’ve put together a full guide to the best meme coins to buy now, so check that out for more investing ideas.
