CryptoQuant’s CEO, Ki Young Ju, has shared his perspective on the rapid rise of Donald Trump’s new memecoin, "The Official Trump Coin."
Launched on Friday, the token quickly climbed the ranks, becoming one of the top 30 cryptocurrencies by market capitalization. Despite a sharp 40% drop in value over the past 24 hours, it has surged over 518% since its debut, with a current price of $40.47 and a market cap exceeding $8.1 billion.
Young Ju attributes the memecoin’s value to the unique dynamics of its community rather than traditional economic factors.
Unlike securities that drive value through productive investments, the coin thrives on Trump’s massive base of supporters and their collective action.
Its value, he explains, depends on Trump’s influence and how his community utilizes the token during his presidency.
While Young Ju highlights the potential for positive change driven by a well-intentioned community, he warns of the risks if such tools are misused.
He also predicts that Trump’s administration, with its pro-market stance, could spark a wave of memecoins over the next four years, making this trend a defining feature of the current crypto landscape.
