The token\u2019s price surged shortly after, allowing most of those traders to cash out swiftly\u201481% of the profits were realized within half a day.<\/p>\n<p>Unlike the TRUMP token, which launched two days earlier with no early activity, MELANIA\u2019s release appears to have been exploited for a quick flip. Despite offering little beyond branding and vague benefits like a dinner with Melania, the token operated as a pure speculative asset and, due to its nature, avoided triggering federal securities laws\u2014placing such trades outside insider trading enforcement.<\/p>\n<p>Some of the wallets involved in the early accumulation were linked to Hayden Davis, a Texas crypto entrepreneur previously associated with controversial projects like the LIBRA token, which was tied to Argentina\u2019s President Javier Milei. Davis denied involvement in profiting from the MELANIA token, but FT\u2019s blockchain analysis traced connections between his ventures and the early trades.<\/p>\n<p><div class=\"read-more pb-3 pt-3 pt-md-2 px-3 my-4 border bg-light\">\n    <h5 class=\"text-uppercase border-bottom mb-3 pb-1\">Read More:<\/h5>\n    <a class=\"article row post-156219\" href=\"https:\/\/cryptodnes.bg\/en\/bitcoin-isnt-on-the-agenda-for-berkshires-next-leader\/\" title=\"Bitcoin Isn\u2019t on the Agenda for Berkshire\u2019s Next Leader\">\n        <div class=\"contentRight col-4\">\n            <span class=\"imgContainer mt-0\">\n                <img class=\"image img-defer\" src=\"https:\/\/cryptodnes.bg\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/07\/berkshire-hathaway-240x170.jpeg\">\n            <\/span>\n        <\/div>\n        <div class=\"contentLeft col-8\">\n            <h4 class=\"title mb-0\">Bitcoin Isn\u2019t on the Agenda for Berkshire\u2019s Next Leader<\/h4>\n        <\/div>\n    <\/a>\n<\/div>\n<\/p>\n<p>Behind MELANIA is MKT World LLC, a Delaware-registered entity previously used by Melania Trump. This group reportedly pulled in over $64 million from initial sales and fees, not counting the $99.6 million pocketed by early traders. However, no official statements have been made regarding the token\u2019s governance, revenue structure, or how much Melania herself may have earned.<\/p>\n<p>The MELANIA launch sparked an intense trading frenzy. In just the first 24 hours, perpetual futures volume for both MELANIA and TRUMP exceeded $50 billion. MELANIA alone saw a 56% jump in open interest within 90 minutes, congesting the Solana blockchain and disrupting services like Coinbase and Phantom. But the hype was short-lived: developer-linked wallets eventually dumped over 31 million tokens, sending MELANIA tumbling from $13 to $0.38 before it stabilized around $0.32.<\/p>\n<p>This isn\u2019t Melania Trump\u2019s first brush with controversial crypto efforts. Earlier projects tied to her name included a disputed NFT auction and an ambiguous blockchain-based charity push.<\/p>\n<p>Ethics concerns continue to mount. Former CFTC chair Tim Massad criticized the blending of political branding and crypto speculation, calling it a misuse of public influence. Meanwhile, the token\u2019s slow unlock schedule\u20143% released in February, followed by monthly 2.25% distributions\u2014leaves open questions about long-term intentions and who truly benefits from the venture.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A handful of crypto wallets made close to $100 million in minutes by trading the MELANIA token\u2014launched under the name of First
