Trump price analysis

Last Friday, Jan.17, US President Trump unveiled his meme coin, Official Trump, and just within a few hours, the asset took the crypto landscape by storm. The token experienced a massive price increase, with its market capitalization hitting a whopping $14.5 billion just a few hours after its launch.

While the token started trading with a price of $0.18, its value reached $7.1 before settling at $21.51 by 03:51 PM EAT, making a remarkable 231.62% rise.

Yesterday, the Trump coin gave up some of its gains when its market cap was hovering around $10 billion. However, the excitement over Trump’s pro-crypto regime drove Bitcoin to record a new AHT of $109,071 on the day when he was installed as the 47th US President.

The increase in Trump’s interest in cryptocurrency comes as his administration was broadly anticipated to bring prosperity for virtual currencies. This is quite opposite to the regulatory surveillance the industry witnessed during the Biden administration.

At press time, the Trump coin is trading at $40.85, down 25.2% over the previous day. Also, its trading volume experienced a 40.60% decrease over yesterday, signaling a recent decrease in participation from investors and traders. Whales see this bearish market sentiment as an opportunity to heavily accumulate tokens.
