Trump, Melania Launch Their Own Meme Coins Ahead of Inauguration

The Trump meme coin website stated that the tokens are intended to function as โ€˜an expression of supportโ€™ and not an investment opportunity.

President-elect Donald Trump and his wife, Melania Trump, launched their respective cryptocurrency meme coins just days ahead of Trumpโ€™s inauguration for a second presidential term.

โ€œItโ€™s time to celebrate everything we stand for: WINNING! Join my very special Trump Community,โ€ the president-elect stated on Truth Social on Jan. 17 while unveiling his $TRUMP meme coin.

The Trump meme coin on Jan. 19 rose to an all-time high of $76.13 before dropping to a low of $38.39 and finishing at about $60.

The tokenโ€™s website states that โ€œTrump Memes are intended to function as an expression of supportโ€ and not as an investment opportunity, nor are they politically affiliated.

There were 200 million Trump coins available at launch, and that number is expected to increase to 1 billion over the next three years, according to the meme coinโ€™s website.

The website states that CIC Digital LLC, an affiliate of The Trump Organization, and Fight Fight Fight LLC own 80 percent of the Trump meme coins, which are subject to a three-year unlocking schedule.

Melania Trump followed suit, releasing her own meme coin, named $MELANIA, a day before Jan. 20. Her release, which saw the Trump meme coins drop almost 50 percent, reached a high of $17.72 on Jan. 19. Both of their meme coins were launched on the Solana blockchain.

Like Trumpโ€™s meme coins, Melania Trumpโ€™s tokens are not intended as financial instruments or investments. The website selling the $MELANIA meme coins describes them as โ€œfungible crypto assets,โ€ which are being sold โ€œfor collecting and entertainment purposes only.โ€

The Melania meme coins allocate 35 percent to team vesting, 20 percent each to the token treasury and community initiatives, 10 percent to liquidity, and 15 percent to public distribution, according to the website.

The coin launches come amid expectations that the incoming Trump administration will usher in a favorable regulatory environment for the cryptocurrency industry. Crypto is a term used to refer to decentralized digital currencies that operate without centralized control by a government or central bank.
