Speculative meme coin funds will test the Securities and Exchange Commission’s boundaries under President Trump.

The launch of the Trump token, which hit a $15 billion valuation, rides the trend and raises questions. Axios reporter Brady Dale explains what a meme coin is and what owners can actually do with them.

The launch of $TRUMP and $MELANIA crypto coins has disappointed some in the crypto industry, who fear they amplify the sector’s sillier and scammier side.

Melania Trump launched a meme coin on the eve of her husband’s inauguration — causing his own new cryptocurrency to briefly tank amid a buying frenzy. The incoming first lady dropped news of the cryptocurrency — “$MELANIA” — on Sunday night — just days after her husband, President-elect Donald Trump, revealed his own newly created $TRUMP coin.

Donald Trump launched $TRUMP cryptocurrency, a meme coin, days before his inauguration. It quickly reached over $32 billion in value. Melania has now launched her own.

President Donald Trump’s inaugural committee received millions of dollars in donations from firms in the cryptocurrency industry that’s already seeing special attention from his administration, disclosures filed with the Senate Office of Public Records show.

Days before his inauguration, President Donald Trump unveiled his own cryptocurrency called $TRUMP. The move raised eyebrows among experts in the field as it may entail a conflict of interest or undermine the adoption of the emerging technology.
