TRUMP Coin News: The Trump Family’s Crypto Moves
By 2025, with the return of former U.S. President Donald Trump to the White House, his flagship cryptocurrency project TRUMP quickly became a global focus. This meme coin endorsed by Trump’s personal brand not only sparked market frenzy but also sparked a global discussion on the intertwining of cryptocurrency and power due to complex political interests and regulatory controversies.
The Rise of TRUMP
In January 2025, the Trump team officially launched the TRUMP Token, based on Solana Blockchain issuance. The coin’s trading volume exceeded 25 billion US dollars within a few hours of its launch, and its market value soared to 100 billion US dollars, with an increase of up to 40 times. Subsequently, mainstream trading platforms such as Gate announced support for TRUMP trading, triggering widespread market pursuit. According to Gate market data, on January 19th, TRUMP reached a peak of 78.1 US dollars, with a total circulation market value exceeding 780 billion US dollars, jumping to the top ten in the entire market.
Despite the lack of practical applications, TRUMP’s price fluctuations are highly tied to the political dynamics of Trump. For example, in mid-April, after Trump voiced his support again on social media, the coin price surged by 100% at one point. However, the volatility of TRUMP has also raised doubts. According to Gate market data, as of May 28th, the price of TRUMP fell to around $12.8, a significant decrease from its historical high of $78.1. Analysts point out that this ‘emotion-driven’ token has a strong speculative nature, and investors need to be cautious of short-term speculative risks.
The Trump family’s encryption layout
The Trump family’s investment in cryptocurrencies far exceeds a single token. By the end of 2024, its established World Liberty Financial (WLF) platform has attracted billions of dollars in investment and reached a $2 billion cooperation with the Abu Dhabi Sovereign Wealth Fund to promote the issuance of stablecoin USD1. In addition, on May 27th, market news revealed that Trump Media announced plans to raise $2.5 billion through stocks and convertible bonds for Buy Bitcoin and establish an “encryption currency reserve”.
Critics point out that while Trump is pushing for deregulation, his family business is profiting from cryptocurrency, creating a direct link between ‘policy and interest.’ For example, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) recently suspended its investigation into TRON The investigation into Sun Yuchen, co-founder, and one of the largest holders of TRUMP.
Policy Shifts and Regulatory Controversies
The Trump administration’s attitude towards cryptocurrency has shifted from ‘doubt’ to ‘embrace’. In March 2025, the White House announced the revocation of the ‘Cryptocurrency Enforcement Team’ from the Biden era and promoted the ‘Genius Act’ to lower industry regulatory thresholds. While such policies stimulate market growth, they also raise concerns: the Trump family is accused of using their public power to seek private gains by receiving 75% of token sales proceeds through platforms like WLF.
Market response and investment advice
Despite ongoing controversies, TRUMP still attracts a large amount of speculative funds. Analysts predict that if market sentiment remains optimistic, its price could hit $100 in 2025, and reach $378 in 2030. However, the following points need to be carefully considered:
- Technical pressure: The current short-term resistance is at $13, and if it falls below the support at $12, there may be further retracement.
- Policy uncertainty: Regulatory trends and fluctuations in Trump’s political career will directly impact the coin price;
- Liquidity risk: 80% of the tokens are controlled by entities associated with Trump, and the market circulation is limited.
Experts recommend that investors adopt a ‘staggered position, set stop-loss’ strategy and prioritize mainstream trading platforms such as Gate to mitigate risks.
Outlook for the future
The rise of TRUMP marks the evolution of encryption from a ‘technical experiment’ to a ‘political tool.’ Behind it is not only market speculation but also a reflection of a new interactive model between power and capital. With the luxurious banquet held by Trump for TRUMP large holders on May 22, 2025, this ‘pay-for-presidential-contact’ model may reshape the ecology of political donations in the United States.
In the long run, the combination of cryptocurrency and politics may give birth to more similar projects, but finding a balance between innovation and regulation remains a core challenge for global policymakers.
