The meme coin called Official Trump, launched by President-elect Donald Trump, has seen a significant increase in value since its launch on Jan. 17. The cryptocurrency has gained traction in the digital asset space and has experienced a surge in trading volumes on major platforms like Binance and OKX. However, meme coins like TRUMP often experience speculative booms due to their viral appeal, and some are criticized for being rug pulls. Despite controversy and criticism, the coin's listing on Binance and OKX has legitimized it and provided access to millions of global traders. However, critics argue that TRUMP represents a potential conflict of interest for Trump as he is about to become the U.S. commander-in-chief. The rapid rise of TRUMP reflects the ongoing influence of political and cultural figures in the cryptocurrency market and raises questions about the intersection of finance, politics, and blockchain technology. The Trump family already actively promotes tokens tied to World Liberty Financial, and a significant portion of the meme coin is reportedly held by a Trump Organization affiliate.
