TRUMP Coin TRUMP/USD and Trump Media & Technology Group Corp. DJT which zoomed after President Donald Trump‘s swearing-in ceremony on Martin Luther King Day have significantly eroded investor wealth.
What Happened: TRUMP Coin, which was launched ahead of Trump’s first day in office has declined by about 40.08% according to CoinMarketCap. Whereas, DJT has fallen by 13.96% in the same period, according to Benzinga Pro.
Trump coin’s current volume stood at 2.15 billion as compared to the average volume of $8.67 billion since its launch, whereas, DJT’s volume stood at 3.53 million, in comparison with the average of 20.03 million.
Why It Matters: Trump coin’s decline highlights the volatility of meme coins, particularly those tied to celebrities. Launched before Trump’s presidential inauguration, TRUMP briefly reached a fully diluted valuation of $75 billion but has since dropped 76%, now valued at $17.81 billion. Despite offering some utility, such as for purchasing Trump-branded merchandise, its price fluctuations have largely been influenced by broader market trends.
