Trump Launches Official Memecoin and Divides Crypto Community

The sudden promotion of a memecoin on Donald Trump’s social media has sparked suspicion in the cryptocurrency industry. When the TRUMP token reached a market capitalization of $8.3 billion in just a few hours, experts are questioning the authenticity of the posts and their significance to the market. A Surprising Debut Raises Many Questions This Saturday, January 18, the official accounts of Donald Trump on X and Truth Social caused a stir when announcing the launch of a new official meme on the Solana blockchain. ‘It’s time to celebrate everything we stand for: VICTORY!’, the message clearly stated, inviting the community to buy TRUMP tokens. The impact is immediate: in just three hours, the TRUMP token exploded and reached a market capitalization of $8.3 billion, with a price of $8.41 on the Moonshot trading platform. This sudden announcement quickly raised doubts in the cryptocurrency industry. Some experts in this field have expressed doubts about the authenticity of the posts, suggesting that there may be compromise in the accounts of the future former president. Max Schwartman, CEO of BecauseBitcoin, particularly warns of potential consequences: ‘If this is a hack, it will seriously dampen Trump’s optimism about cryptocurrencies just as he takes office’. JRNY Crypto, a reputable industry analyst, also expressed skepticism when publicly questioning the lack of official confirmation from Trump’s team beyond simple social media posts. Immediate Consequences in the Cryptocurrency Market This announcement immediately shakes the cryptocurrency market, especially impacting the Solana ecosystem. SOL price surged 4.12% to $228, driven by a massive influx of investment attracted by this controversial project. Analyst Will Clemente reports a situation never seen before on the Solana blockchain: ‘I have never seen anything like this, the price of Solana skyrocketing while everything on the chain collapses, investors panicking and selling off for fear of missing out on Trump’s memecoin’ Edward Morra, an experienced trader, warns of the upcoming risks: “This will end badly one way or another, and will lead to widespread market liquidation as the inauguration approaches.” Even the most observant people who trust the authenticity of the project still maintain a cautious stance. Daniel Got Hits, followed by nearly 62,000 people on X, declared he will not “touch that with a ten-foot pole”. In short, this chaos occurred just days before Donald Trump’s presidential inauguration, amid speculation about an executive order that could prioritize cryptocurrencies as a national interest.
