Trump! Trump! Trump! The only hot topic on January 18!
No one expected that, with just 3 days left before Trump's inauguration as the President of the United States, this man would make a big splash by "releasing an official MEME coin", sending a "big red envelope" to many people at the start of the year! Furthermore, due to Trump's accumulated transmission potential, the heat that spread from the crypto market even triggered heated discussions in traditional media and short-video platforms, with countless people shouting Trump's name, not only because he brought a crypto bull market, but also because the TRUMP Meme coin alone allowed many people to "retire with money", making him a "philanthropic president".
In addition to the news flash released at 10:20 am on the 18th and the article "Trump to Issue a Coin? The Strongest Meme of the Year, $4.5 Billion" published in a timely manner, Odaily Planet Daily will summarize the list of KOLs who have made over $1 million in profits from a single TRUMP coin, as well as traders and KOLs who have missed out on hundreds of millions of dollars in profits, and briefly discuss the diffusion impact and lessons learned from TRUMP, hoping that your ID will be on the next wealth list.
The Two Sides of Trump Buyers: Some Made Millions, Others Missed Out on Hundreds of Millions
Undoubtedly, after the appearance of TRUMP, traders with different styles will choose different trading strategies: some chose to ALL IN within their risk tolerance as soon as they saw the news or the TRUMP contract; while others missed out on TRUMP due to doubts about whether the project was officially issued or not.

Those Crypto Players Who Missed Out on Trump
While some made money, there were also those who missed out on the "big prize".
According to Onchain Lens monitoring, a whale spent 500,000 USDC to buy 2.64 million TRUMP, and then sold it all out for 1.35 million USDC. The current 2.64 million TRUMP is worth about $80 million, which must have been a "sell-off" that broke their leg.
BitCloutCat posted not only congratulating 0x Sun, but also said that opportunities always exist, just wait quietly for the next one. He mentioned: "Congratulations to Sun Ge, the boss. This time slot is my sleeping time, it's a pity that I completely missed the pump, and I've been very unlucky lately, no matter how I buy, I lose money. But when I think about it carefully, adjust my mindset, and get my bullets ready, staring at the chain, the president is going to launch a coin, are you still afraid there won't be the next opportunity?"
As a Meme coin trading platform commonly used by many KOLs and on-chain players, GMGN has gained tremendous attention and usage during the TRUMP craze, and the team's Haze is very open-minded about not having bought in, in his own words:
Haze is very real
In any case, life goes on, crypto never sleeps, and if you missed TRUMP, there will be more Meme coins to come, as the crypto-friendly development has become a foregone conclusion.
As Eric Trump confirmed the "legitimacy" of the TRUMP token by citing crypto czar DAVID SACKS as saying: "The reign of terror against cryptocurrencies is over, and the beginning of American cryptocurrency innovation is just beginning."
In any case, the future of crypto is promising.
Of course, for ETH Maxi purists, the emergence of TRUMP is more like a heavy blow.
Trump Becomes the "Last Straw" to Crush ETH Maxis
According to on-chain analyst Yu Jian'smonitoring, possibly affected by the surge of TRUMP and SOL, several ETH whales have sold ETH -
@Christianeth transferred 8,161.7 ETH ($26.59 million) to Binance in the past 1 hour, stating that he has converted a quarter of his on-chain assets to SOL;
@0xVladilena transferred 5,018 ETH ($16.36 million) to Binance 2 hours ago;
0xe43...bd7 address sold 5,000 weETH on-chain 3 hours ago and exchanged it for $17.25 million USDC.
Meanwhile, according to previous OKXmarket data, the ETH/BTC exchange rate has continued to decline, once dropping to 0.03164, the lowest point since March 29, 2021.
On one side is the relentless decline of ETH, and on the other side is the thriving development of the Solana ecosystem taking advantage of the TRUMP craze. It has to be said that even the strongest ETH Maxi would find it hard to remain unmoved.
Epilogue: Celebrating the Dawn of a New Era of Crypto with a Meme Coin
In the end, it currently appears that TRUMP has been indirectly confirmed by relevant Trump-related personnel as the "authentic Trump Meme coin", which is also in line with the point we made in our previous article 《The Meme Coin Super Cycle Will Arrive in 2025, How Much Room is Left in the Meme Coin Market?》: The Meme coin super cycle will arrive in 2025; in the future, under the euphoric atmosphere, 1-3 Meme coin projects with a market cap of 100 billion are entirely possible, and the total market cap of the Meme coin sector may even break through $300-500 billion.
Currently, TRUMP, which combines political focus and entertainment propagation value, is undoubtedly one of the "best politifi Meme coins", and its launch and listing have also become the most ceremonious "inauguration statement" before Trump, the "crypto president", takes office. The "crypto spring" he ushers in is worth looking forward to.
