President Coin One-Year Anniversary: From Trump's Mythical 200 Billion Dollar 8-Hour Express to Over 90% Value Loss Despair

1 hours ago

**Trump Meme Coin Frenzy: Timeline & Impact** Last year on January 18 at 10 a.m. UTC+8, former President Trump announced his personal meme coin **TRUMP** on Truth Social. The token’s initial market cap hit $1 billion, sparking a crypto market frenzy. Community members split over whether Trump’s account had been compromised—rumors fueled a pump that pushed TRUMP’s market cap to $1.5 billion in 30 minutes, with $123 million in trading volume. At 10:38 a.m., the token plunged over 50% briefly, with its market cap touching $1.3 billion. A turning point hit at 10:44 a.m.: Trump reposted X posts about the "official TRUMP meme coin launch," quelling security doubts. TRUMP’s market cap then surged, peaking at 11:22 a.m. (a moonshot) with a fully diluted valuation (FDV) topping $4 billion. By 11:29 a.m., FDV exceeded $5 billion; it hit $10 billion by 1:07 p.m. (3 hours post-launch), $13 billion by 1:59 p.m. (4 hours), and $16 billion by 2:13 p.m. Binance suspended SOL withdrawals amid intense trading activity. By 6:11 p.m., TRUMP reached a $20 billion FDV in an 8-hour sprint—ranking 4th among meme coins (behind DOGE, SHIB, and PEPE). The next day, it hit an all-time high (ATH) of ~$77, equating to a $770 billion FDV and ~$154 billion in circulating market cap. **Current Status & Broader Context** TRUMP now trades at $5.3, with a market cap of $24.5 billion and an FDV of $53 billion. Trump’s launch on the eve of his inauguration marked political figures’ deep dive into crypto. The "Presidential Coin Offering" brought unprecedented hype but also the biggest profit conflicts and moral condemnation to date. Millions of retail investors were left holding the bag as the frenzy faded. A key question hangs over crypto: Is hype king? Or should the space stick to its decentralization vision to disrupt traditional finance? What did Trump truly change—sparking new value conflicts and considerations for the crypto world?
