Trump Meme Coin Down 92% From All-Time High

The new Trump-themed crypto game has faced skepticism from its meme coin holders.

Trump’s official meme coin was launched on January 20, just days before Trump’s inauguration. The coin surged to an all-time high of over $73 on the day of launch — its market cap exceeded $14.5 billion — but has since fallen more than 92%, trading at $5.89 as of Wednesday, according to CoinGecko. In the last 24 hours, the token has risen by 3.4% since the game’s announcement.

According to the disclaimer, the game collection is for “entertainment” only, not for “investment purposes” and is not associated with “any political campaign”.

According to US Democratic lawmakers, Trump’s crypto business and related projects bearing his name have previously been called upon by financial regulators and government ethics offices to open investigations.
