{"content":"On January 18, 2025, Donald Trump released his own memecoin $TRUMP . It started trading at just a few cents and exploded to an all-time high of $75.35 in days, with over $19 billion in volume. Some argue that this moment or maybe the rise of tools like Pump.fun marked the beginning of the presidential meme coin boom. But there’s no doubt that Trump, arguably the most powerful man in the world, opened the floodgates. Just a day later, on January 19, Melania Trump launched her own token, $MELANIA. It closely mirrored the structure of $TRUMP but with even fewer safeguards. MELANIA was seen as a blatant cash grab. At launch, 82% of the supply sat in one cluster of wallets and a presale wallet holding 10% dumped most of its allocation immediately. This was followed by President Touadéra of the Central African Republic releasing $CAR, an 'experiment'. Then came $LIBRA, which took this model to a much larger scale.
