In May 2025, former U.S. President Donald Trump surprised the crypto world with the launch of $TRUMP and $MELANIA meme coins. The coins quickly gained attention after Trump promised a special dinner at Mar-a-Lago for top $TRUMP holders.
Both coins saw a sharp rise in value, especially after going viral on social media. While $TRUMP is driven by political hype, $MELANIA appeals more to NFT and fashion fans.
Critics, however, raise concerns about ethics and Trump’s involvement, calling it a conflict of interest. Supporters see it as the future of political branding on the blockchain.
The coins remain volatile, but for now—they're among the hottes trends ìn crypto.
