TL;DR<\/strong><\/p>\n

Official Trump (TRUMP) soared above $70 before dropping to around $50, facing competition from Melania Trump\u2019s meme coin.

Focus on These Cryptocurrencies<\/h2>\n

The past weekend was far from quiet for the cryptocurrency industry<\/span>, with<\/span> Donald Trump <\/span>launching<\/span> his meme coin, Official Trump (TRUMP).<\/span><\/p>\n

The asset <\/span>experienced<\/span><\/a> a spectacular price explosion shortly after going live, with its market capitalization briefly skyrocketing above $14.5 billion. Thus, it <\/span>flipped<\/span><\/a> well-known memes such as Shiba Inu (SHIB). <\/span>In<\/span> the past several hours<\/span>, TRUMP lost some steam<\/span>, and its market cap has decreased to around $9.9 billion (per CoinGecko\u2019s data). For its part, SHIB outpaced it and became the second-biggest in the meme coin niche again.<\/span><\/p>\n

The impressive rise of TRUMP benefited some savvy traders, who <\/span>made<\/span><\/a> millions of dollars by jumping on the bandwagon at the right time and eventually cashing out.<\/span><\/p>\n

Despite its potential to make people rich overnight, some analysts think it \u201cmakes no sense\u201d to buy TRUMP at its peak levels. One person sharing that thesis is the popular X user Michael van de Poppe, who also <\/span>recommended<\/span><\/a> that people focus on altcoins that crashed by approximately 20% over the weekend.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Some examples include Binance Coin (BNB), Dogecoin (DOGE), Shiba Inu (SHIB), and others. It is worth mentioning that Michael van de Poppe issued the warning on January 19. Since then, the <\/span>aforementioned assets<\/span> have charted significant gains, <\/span>and most of them<\/span> are currently in green territory.<\/span><\/p>\n

Their solid performance aligns with the overall bullish environment <\/span>reigning in the entire<\/span> cryptocurrency space. As <\/span>CryptoPotato<\/span><\/em> reported<\/span><\/a> earlier today, Bitcoin (BTC) <\/span>hit<\/span> an all-time high of almost $110,000. Its peak occurred mere hours before Donald Trump\u2019s inauguration as America\u2019s 47th <\/span>President<\/span>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

TRUMP\u2019s Decline<\/span><\/h2>\n

The token\u2019s price started heading south shortly after Melania Trump (the wife of the upcoming American <\/span>president<\/span>) <\/span>launched<\/span><\/a> a meme coin of her own. Recall that TRUMP peaked above $70, but currently, it is worth around $50 (per CoinGecko\u2019s data).\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Investors should <\/span>keep in mind<\/span> the extreme volatility surrounding assets of that type and enter the ecosystem with increased caution. They must also be aware that 80% of TRUMP\u2019s total supply <\/span>is held<\/span> by two entities related to the <\/span>Republican<\/span>: CIC Digital LLC and Fight Fight Fight LLC.<\/span><\/p>\n

Such centralization allows the controlling companies to influence the coin\u2019s market performance, especially in the event of a massive sell-off.<\/span><\/p>\n
