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. Source: https://thebittimes.com/official-solana-b...
