TRUMP Receives Further Support<\/h2>\n

Donald Trump<\/span> made huge waves in the crypto world by launching his own meme coin. The token in question is called Official Trump (TRUMP), and it <\/span>saw the light of day<\/span><\/a> on January 18.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

According to a recent Bloomberg <\/span>report<\/span><\/a>, several online retailers selling Trump-themed merchandise have accepted the asset as a payment method. Those include GetTrumpWatches.com, GetTrumpFragrances.com, and GetTrumpSneakers.com.<\/span><\/p>\n

Prior to<\/span> that, Travala \u2013 a blockchain-based travel booking platform <\/span>that enables<\/span> clients to pay for vacations, hotels, and flights in cryptocurrencies \u2013 also embraced TRUMP.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

TRUMP Price Outlook<\/span><\/h2>\n

The meme coin experienced a spectacular price explosion mere hours after going live. Its price exceeded $70, while its market capitalization surged past $14.5 billion. Thus, it briefly <\/span>surpassed<\/span><\/a> Shiba Inu (SHIB) to become the second-biggest meme coin.<\/span><\/p>\n

In addition, the price explosion\u00a0<\/span>allowed<\/span><\/a> savvy traders to make multi-million profits overnight due to entering and eventually exiting the ecosystem at the right time.<\/span><\/p>\n

Ever since Trump\u2019s inauguration, though, the token has been in serious decline. It currently trades at around $26 (per CoinGecko\u2019s data), representing a 64% decline from the peak. The market cap has fallen below $5.5 billion, making TRUMP the third-largest in the meme coin niche with a slight lead over Pepe (PEPE).

While many industry participants believe it could enter a new bull run soon, others have criticized its existence. Balaji Srinivasan (the former CTO of Coinbase) <\/span>claimed<\/span><\/a> that such assets only damage the reputation of the industry instead of legitimizing it.<\/span><\/p>\n

The<\/span> American billionaire Mark Cuban shared a similar thesis, <\/span>arguing<\/span><\/a> that the introduction of Trump\u2019s meme coin is <\/span>nothing but harmful to<\/span> the cryptocurrency sector.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThis is the biggest bunch of self-serving Bullsh*t I have ever heard. In your world, there is no ownership. Just speculation,\u201d he said.<\/span><\/p>\n
