The Hilarious Collapse of Trump Memecoins

by

Act I, Scene I: The Salon of Speculation

Pray, mark how retail investors, those hopeful patrons, have managed to lose a fortune since the gilding of these tokens. The official TRUMP and MELANIA memecoins award their holders losses surpassing four billions; the coins now linger more than ninety percent shy of their early 2025 heights.

CryptoRank, that oracle of numbers, reports that while the layfolk thrashed in red, insiders did seem to feast, pocketing millions with a wink and a bow.

Long ago, the President did strike a coin of his own, foretelling a second term, and up rose an ATH to seventy-five dollars, a harvest of profit for many early investors. Soon after, the First Lady, Melania, did follow with a memecoin of her own, which reached thirteen dollars and five cents in less than a day, causing ladies and gentlemen to swoon.

Yet, the court of public opinion cried foul; some X-narrators even called the memecoins a “big red flag.” Later whispers revealed Hayden Davis, famed for Libra Token calamity, was one of the faces behind MELANIA’s coin.

One year hence, the TRUMP and MELANIA memecoins lie humbled: down seventy to ninety-two percent for the former, ninety-nine percent for the latter from January 2025 ATHs. At this moment, the US President’s token fetches about $3.55; the First Lady’s token flirts with $0.11.

CryptoRank laments a spectacle of losses where retail patrons bear a 20-to-1 misfortune ratio: for every dollar insiders banked, ordinary investors lost twenty dollars. Such arithmetic is the cruel jester of fortune.

Thus, retail losses eclipse $4.3 billion across nearly two million wallets, all submerged in red seas. Chainalysis lends its lantern to CNBC, revealing that most wallets that sank held modest sums.

Insiders and Exchanges Reap Their Comedy

Whiles the commoners bleed, insiders have cashed out over $600 million in fees and token sales. Forty-five wallets extracted about $1.2 billion in concert, and fifty-eight wallets each claimed more than ten million dollars, according to CNBC’s scroll.

The divination continues: another $2.7 billion in insider tokens locked until 2028 signals a encore of selling sorrows on the horizon for these memecoins.

NewsBTC, with Reuters’ breath, says crypto exchanges have feasted as major beneficiaries, the TRUMP token birthing millions in revenue for the grandest houses of exchange. Six months after listing, reports tally more than $172 million in trading fees.

Meanwhile, the Trump brood claims virtue through their other ventures, including World Liberty Financial and the memecoins themselves. Bloomberg notes gains of roughly $280 million from the family’s holdings and proceeeds.
