President-elect Donald Trump made waves with the sudden launch of Official Trump ($TRUMP), a meme coin built on the Solana blockchain.
Within a few hours of its debut, the token’s market cap skyrocketed to $2.7 billion, sparking both excitement and skepticism about the project’s legitimacy.
Trading activity surged immediately after the announcement, with $TRUMP’s value climbing hunders of percent in the first couple of minutes and daily volumes nearing $2.6 billion, as per CoinGecko data. At the time of reporting, the token was valued at around $13.11.
The initial announcement appeared on Trump’s Truth Social account, directing users to a website called GetTrumpMemes for acquiring the tokens. A similar post was later shared on X (formerly Twitter), promoting the coin as the official $TRUMP token.
However, questions about the authenticity of the project quickly arose, fueled by recent hacks targeting prominent social media accounts.
