President-elect Donald Trump has launched $TRUMP, a Solana-based cryptocurrency, promoted via Truth Social and X (formerly Twitter). Within hours, it reportedly reached an $8 billion market cap.
A Political Token?
Branded as a “political statement,” $TRUMP invites supporters and critics to engage with Trump’s brand digitally. Buyers must accept terms waiving class-action lawsuits unless they opt out within 30 days. Its rapid rise mirrors Trump’s NFT success but raises questions about the viability of politically-themed cryptocurrencies.
