The Trump meme coin is a fungible cryptocurrency, similar to other digital assets used for transactions and speculative trading. It was launched on the Solana blockchain network.
The $TRUMP coin, which launched ahead of Trump’s January 20 inauguration, reached a peak of $74.59 before crashing to $7.14 on April 7.
Despite expectations of a crash due to a scheduled release of 40 million new tokens, the project’s X (formerly Twitter) account announced a 90-day delay in the token unlock, giving the coin a temporary boost.
