A new cryptocurrency, Official Trump Coin (TRUMP), hit the crypto market like a bomb and made the entire crypto community memorize its name in a very short time. Launched on January 18, 2025, just days before Donald Trump’s inauguration as President was listed on leading exchanges such as Binance, Kucoin, Bybit, and OKX and quickly ascended to 18th place in the cryptocurrency markets. TRUMP, which created a record trading volume in 24 hours, managed to attract the attention of investors.
What is TRUMP?
The Official Trump Cryptocurrency is a meme coin hosted on the Solana blockchain. It is a meme coin designed not for any investment commodity or transactional use, but in support of Donald Trump’s ideals and the US presidency. It was issued as a symbolic cryptocurrency (as are all memecoins) and actually aims to shed light on the world’s adoption and use of crypto assets.
Tokenomics and Supply Distribution of TRUMP
TRUMP’s total supply is set at 1 billion tokens, with 200 million tokens (20%) publicly available at launch. The remaining 800 million tokens (80%) are under the control of Trump-affiliated entities, including CIC Digital LLC and Fight Fight Fight LLC, with plans for a gradual token unlock over three years.
Trump-Affiliated Holdings and TRUMP
The vast majority of the TRUMP supply is concentrated in a wallet address associated with assets affiliated with Trump: HkykUVWTctptXZmRTWearMsH4SaQNmE4Ku3tMJe5v2mH.
As with every cryptocurrency, this has raised concerns about centralization and raised some questions in the minds of many investors.
Centralized Control: Approximately 80% of the total coin supply is held by Trump-affiliated entities. This situation is in great contrast to the holder distributions of major cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin and Ethereum. Although the organizations state that they will unlock the tokens gradually and strategically, many critics believe that market prices will be affected.
Liquidity and Manipulation Risks: All investors in the market own only 20% of the token supply. This situation potentially creates a risk and brings with it the possibility of liquidity cap, market manipulation and serious price fluctuations.
Market Performance of TRUMP
Despite its high supply and symbolic currency, TRUMP has experienced an explosive start and within 24 hours of launch, its market capitalization surged to over $6 billion. This rapid rise has brought both excitement to the crypto market and, like every sudden rise, some doubts.
Donald Trump’s supporters believe that this memecoin represents the presidency, is a perfect integration tool for the digital age and is a means of showing political loyalty to the new US president.
Critics of the project say that this project was created to exploit Trump’s supporters and the cryptocurrency market. They say that financial institutions affiliated with Trump will make huge profits from this memecoin and are using the loyalty of citizens.
The Growing Intersection of Politics and Blockchain
TRUMP is the clearest example of how political figures and supporters of political ideas can integrate blockchain technology. The project has shown the world how easy it is to brand politically with blockchain technology, and has quickly become a billion-dollar asset. However, the final success will depend on its ability to address concerns about centralization, market manipulation, and long-term sustainability.
Melania Trump Follows Her Husband with MELANIA coin
Melania Trump launched her memecoin, MELANIA, on the same day as her husband’s inauguration as the 47th president of the United States. The coin announced on social media is hosted on the Solana Blockchain. MELANIA, which is the same as TRUMP in terms of tokenomics, has reached a volume of over $2 billion in a short time.
Both coins are presented as collectibles rather than investment opportunities, with MELANIA described as embodying certain values and TRUMP marketed as “a piece of history” linked to Donald Trump as “the crypto president.”
Alghortim predicts +200% price increase for TRUMP and MELANIA
Our TRUMP price prediction algorhitm forecasts a +208% price increase in the next 30 days, predicting a final price of around $110. While this prediction is extremely bullish, it should be noted that our TRUMP price prediction is calculateed based on its historical price movements, so take it with a grain of salt.
Similarly, our MELANIA price prediction forecasts for the next 30 days shows a growth that’s nearly identical at +204%. Still, unlike TRUMP, the token isn’t predicted to reach a new ATH in this time, instead only reaching as high as $10.48.
Final Thoughts
The Official Trump Cryptocurrency (TRUMP) has made a strikingly entrance into the crypto world, turning all the headlines upside down and bringing with it many discussions. While its symbolic value among Trump supporters is growing stronger, its centralized structure and rapid rise are attracting both interest and suspicion. As Donald Trump is rapidly climbing the political ladder, it is very difficult to predict the future of TRUMP. The only thing we can be sure of is the power of blockchain technology and the fact that it can now be easily integrated into every field.
