As of May 4, 2025, several cryptocurrencies associated with former President Donald Trump are making headlines due to their market performance and the controversies surrounding them. Here's an overview of the most prominent "Trump coins" currently in circulation:
šŖ 1. Official Trump (TRUMP)
Price: Approximately $11.52 USD
Market Cap: Around $2.3 billion
24-Hour Trading Volume: Over $882 million
Circulating Supply: Approximately 200 million TRUMP tokens
This token has gained significant attention due to a promotional campaign offering exclusive benefits to top holders. Specifically, the top 220 investors were invited to a private dinner with Donald Trump, with the top 25 receiving additional perks like a White House tour. This initiative led to a surge in the token's value but also sparked ethical concerns and calls for investigations into potential "pay-to-play" schemes.
š§¢ 2. MAGA (TRUMP)
Price: Approximately $0.20 USD
Market Cap: Around $8.7 million
24-Hour Trading Volume: Approximately $57,000
Circulating Supply: Approximately 44 million TRUMP tokens
MAGA is a meme coin inspired by Trump's "Make America Great Again" slogan. While it has experienced price fluctuations, it remains a speculative asset with a relatively modest market capitalization.
š§± 3. TrumpCoin (DJT)
Price: Approximately $0.000202 USD
24-Hour Trading Volume: Approximately $17,000
Maximum Supply: 10 billion DJT tokens
TrumpCoin (DJT) is another token associated with Trump's brand. Despite its low price, it has seen some trading activity. However, like other meme coins, it carries significant investment risk due to its volatility and lack of intrinsic value.
ā ļø Ethical and Legal Concerns
The promotional strategies employed, especially for the Official Trump token, have raised ethical and legal questions. Offering exclusive access to a sitting president in exchange for cryptocurrency investments has led to accusations of corruption and potential violations of the U.S. Constitution's emoluments clauses.
