Make Solana Great Again with Trump Familly
Backed by a well-known name and successful viral Twitter campaigns, Trump-related cryptocurrencies surged in value at launch, including $TRUMP, $MELANIA, $USD1, and NFTs.
⌜Introduction⌝
The Trump family has emerged as an unexpected player in the world of cryptocurrency since 2024. Through the use of tokens bearing their likeness, non-fungible token (NFT) campaigns and community-driven strategies, Donald Trump and his inner circle have been exploring a new form of influence that blends politics, speculation and digital storytelling.
⌜Token⌝
The Trump-themed token ecosystem (comprising $TRUMP, $MELANIA and $USD1) exhibits a familiar pattern of memecoins: hype driven by narrative, rapid capital inflow and insider-driven, highly centralised exits.

While some see these NFTs as mere symbolic rewards, others view them as potential political access passes. The opaque distribution process and centralization around the Trump team have sparked controversy:
Bought influence or rewarded loyalty?
Regulatory voices warn of possible corruption and foreign interference especially if these tokens are used for lobbying or to grant tangible benefits.
Several media outlets (nftandgamefi.com, NYPost, Coingeek, Decrypt, APNews) have flagged this emerging intersection between politics and crypto-assets.
The goal: reward loyalty, reduce volatility, and lock part of the supply held by the Trump family.
⌜Tokenomics⌝
$TRUMP
First day : Over $39B in volume within hours, peaking at +900%, followed by an -85% crash, affecting over 15,000 holders.
June :
Over $266M in volume, ranging $8.8, affecting over 15,000 holders, the top 9 older capitalized 91% of supply.
$MELANIA
First day : Reached a $5.6B volume shortly after launch. Roughly 33% of the supply was pre-acquired by insiders, who liquidated for up to $100M in less than 12 hours, triggering a -90% correction.
June :
Over $8.5M in volume, ranging $0.18, the top 9 older capitalized 89% of supply.
$USD1, “stablecoin”
Launched on Ethereum and BSC, quickly surpassed $2B in market cap and averaged $900M in daily volume, yet remains highly centralized, with three wallets holding the majority of the supply.
📉 These tokens illustrate the same exploitative tokenomics:
silent accumulation → viral launch → aggressive pump → insider exit → retail fallout.
⌜Community⌝
Trump’s crypto strategy relies on Twitter-driven communication and community mobilization: coordinated raids, emotional narratives, and a crafted illusion of inclusivity.

⌜Final Summary⌝
The Trump-affiliated tokens appear to follow a familiar memecoin trajectory: narrative-driven momentum, rapid price movements, and early-holder advantage.
NFTs distributed during a private dinner were presented as loyalty rewards, though their potential political implications have prompted discussion.
Through airdrops, curated messaging, and exclusivity cues, the strategy leverages emotional engagement within a highly centralized framework fostering a perception of participation.
While some interpret this as a well-executed community strategy, others question the long-term vision behind the initiative.
