Overview
On inauguration day, President Trump launched the $TRUMP coin, which rose sharply before declining, alongside Melania's $MELANIA coin. While excitement grows over his pro-crypto stance, critics warn of ethical conflicts given Trump's ties to the cryptocurrency market. The coins are intended not as investments, but as collectibles promoting Trump's values. Analysts express concern over the influence of potential big contributors as Trump's net worth surged. The volatility displayed by both coins raises questions on market manipulation and regulatory oversight as they are positioned to benefit Trump personally.
