A bombshell report has rocked the crypto world, exposing what may be the biggest digital asset grift of the decade—and it’s carrying the name of former U.S. President Donald J. Trump.
At the center of the storm: the $XRP TRUMP token, a MAGA-branded meme coin that rode a wave of political hype, soared to astronomical heights, and then crashed—hard—leaving hundreds of thousands of investors in financial ruin.

The Rise and Fall of $XRP TRUMP
Originally launched at $0.18, the coin skyrocketed to a peak of $75 on a tide of pro-Trump sentiment and viral marketing. But today, it hovers at around $16, with over 810,000 wallets currently underwater.
Estimated investor losses exceed $2 billion, with many retail traders blaming a familiar pattern: pump, dump, and walk away.

Insider Activity? The $109 Million Trade That Sparked Suspicion
Crypto forensic experts at Chainalysis traced a single wallet that bought $1.1 million worth of $XRP TRUMP just two minutes after Trump’s now-infamous Truth Social post:
> “Join the Trump Community. GET YOUR $T$XRP TRUMP W.”
Within 48 hours, that same wallet sold its holdings for a stunning $109 million in profit—sparking immediate questions about insider trading.
Chainalysis called the activity “highly suspicious,” noting that the wallet was created moments before the post went live, and the trades appeared strategically timed to front-run the retail surge.

Follow the Money: $100M+ in Trading Fees to Trump Allies?
Even more concerning, reports suggest that Trump-linked wallets control over 80% of the token supply, and have earned more than $100 million in transaction fees.
This comes as Trump continues to exert influence over federal regulators at the SEC and CFTC, raising alarms about potential conflicts of interest, regulatory shielding, and the politicization of financial oversight.
> “The president is participating in shady crypto schemes that harm investors while appointing regulators who may insulate him from accountability.”
— Corey Frayer, former SEC crypto advisor

A Political Pump-and-Dump?
What started as a meme coin with political flair may now be morphing into a regulatory scandal of national significance. Questions are mounting:
Will the SEC or DOJ investigate?
Can politicians profit from unregulated crypto hype?
Are we witnessing a new era of tokenized political manipulation?
The parallels to early ICO scams are glaring—but this time, the players have more power, more influence, and a direct line to financial regulators.
