‘Official’ Solana-Based Trump Memecoin Instantly Hits $2,950,000,000 Market Cap

Crypto traders are debating whether Donald Trump’s social media passwords have been cracked, as the President-elect’s accounts tout the launch of his “official” memecoin.

The memecoin launch announcement hit Trump’s social media platform Truth Social first, and was posted on X shortly thereafter.

The new coin is built on the Solana network, and has already tapped a $2.95 billion market cap, according to CoinGecko.

The coin’s website is attributed to CIC Digital LLC, which is the same team Trump used to launch his official NFT projects. A total of 80% of the coins are currently locked, and will be released over several years.

Trump has promised to support crypto innovation and adoption, as well as establish a national Bitcoin reserve.

Odds on the Bitcoin reserve happening in the first 100 days of Trump’s administration stand at 42% on Polymarket at time of publishing.

Arbitrum (ARB) and Cardano (ADA) are making headlines in crypto news these days, but not for good reasons. While Arbitrum has dropped below a key level of $1, Cardano’s 30-day chart shows a huge plunge in price. Meanwhile, upcoming memecoins like Raboo ($RABT) are taking center stage. Raboo has generated more than $1.8 million in 4 presale rounds and is expected to give early buyers at least 233% in profits when it’s concluded.
