Donald Trump has rejected allegations that he is personally profiting from the TRUMP memecoin, which launched just before his presidential inauguration. Reports from Chainalysis indicated that the TRUMP token generated $900,000 in fees over two days for its backers. The token's largest holders are companies linked to Trump-related entities, collectively holding 80% of the coin's supply. Despite claims of indirect benefit, Trump insisted that any financial advantage would be incidental, comparing it to stock ownership. The TRUMP token, though down from an all-time high of $44.19, currently trades at around $11.20, marking a 20% rise over the past month. The White House announced that the top 220 holders of the TRUMP token would be invited to a presidential dinner. Additionally, Eric Trump is set to speak at Consensus 2025 in Toronto.
Heightened media attention and presidential association could spur speculative interest, supporting short-term demand despite recent price decline; long-term outlook remains highly volatile.
