From Fox Business: President-elect Trump took the $3.5 trillion cryptocurrency industry by surprise Friday night, announcing the launch of his own crypto token called $TRUMP coin.
The launch is on its way to becoming one of the most successful in history.
In less than 24 hours, $TRUMP’s value rose from just a few cents to $33.87, representing a staggering price gain of over 18,000%. The token price has since come down to around $26 with a market cap of over $5 billion, putting it in the top 30 biggest cryptocurrencies in the world.
Trump personally announced the unveiling of the coin via his Truth Social and X accounts at 9:45 p.m. ET Friday, while industry bigwigs were celebrating his return to office at the inaugural Crypto Ball in Washington, D.C.
“My NEW Official Trump Meme is HERE! It’s time to celebrate everything we stand for: WINNING! Join my very special Trump Community,” Trump wrote.
