Despite being seen as the pro-crypto candidate of the 2024 election, thus far, Donald Trump’s second presidency has had its fair share of controversies regarding the cryptocurrency market . Perhaps the most significant of these was the launch of Official TRUMP ( Trump ), the president’s very own meme coin . Released on January 17, just days before the inauguration, TRUMP quickly skyrocketed , reaching an all-time high (ATH) price of $44.28 per token on January 21, as well as a market capitalization of roughly $14.7 billion. The frenzy was short-lived. By the end of January, Official TRUMP was changing hands at a price of $24.05, and has been on a steady downward trajectory ever since. At press time on March 28, the president’s meme coin was trading at a price of $10.18. TRUMP price all-time chart.

His initial $12 million investment shot up to $23.8 million in value, leaving him with a tidy $11.8 million profit. Unfortunately for him, he doubled down, spent $33.9 million to open a new position, and then closed it once it had dropped to $12.85 million in value. This $21 million loss brought his total losses to $10 million. That same trader opened a new position on March 3, having bought 777,684 TRUMP, according to Lookonchain .
