The Truth Behind the $BIG Narrative: The Solana Memecoin Speculation Frenzy Triggered by Misinterpreting Trump's Post
TL;DR
Trump's "$BIG trouble" post on Truth Social on December 6, 2025 , had nothing to do with cryptocurrency ; it was a commentary on an NCAA ruling regarding college athletics. Speculators capitalized on the incidental appearance of the word "$BIG" in the post, rapidly launching multiple memecoins with the same name on Solana to create hype. The two main tokens achieved a total trading volume of $5.1 million and a price increase of +117-275% on December 6, but on-chain data showed all activity concentrated within the first hour after the post, exhibiting typical pump-and-dump characteristics.
The Truth Behind Trump's Posts
Post content and time
Donald Trump posted on Truth Social at 18:13 UTC on December 6, 2025 : "College Sports is in $BIG trouble, just like I said it would be. A judge, with no knowledge or experience, ruled and, rather than fighting, the sports reps FOLDED. Can't do that."
Key facts :
- Topic : NCAA rulings and athlete compensation in college sports
- "$BIG" means "big trouble" in English, and is not a cryptocurrency ticker.
- Crypto Relevance : Zero - No cryptocurrency, token, or blockchain project is mentioned in the post.
Market Misinterpretation Mechanism
Speculators interpreted Trump's casual use of the term "$BIG" as an encrypted signal, triggering:
- Rapid deployment of multiple $BIG memecoins on the Solana chain
- The spread of false narratives about "Trump's shill" on social media
- Short-term speculative funds flow into newly launched tokens

Social sentiment analysis
Key Questions
@0xSweep (crypto trader) opinion : Marking the release of Token 1 as "coordinated" and "insider" activity suggests manipulation.
Community response topic :
- Skepticism prevails : Most discussions question the coincidence of the release timing.
- Scam Warning : Some voices directly refer to it as a "crime".
- Short-term mentality : The expectation is that these tokens "will not survive for more than a day."
Narrative propagation mechanism
False narrative construction :
- The website bigonsol.com claims that "Trump is shill$BIG on Truth Social."
- Multiple accounts on platform X are spreading the claim that "Trump is issuing cryptocurrency."
- No mainstream media or authoritative source has confirmed any association with the cryptocurrency.
The truth is :
- All claims of "Trump shill" can be traced back to sports commentary posts.
- No Trump family member has released any crypto-related $BIG content.
- Social media dissemination is based on a deliberate misinterpretation of the phrase "$BIG trouble".

in conclusion
The truth behind the "narrative escalation" : There was no real narrative escalation for the $BIG token; it was merely hype created by speculators exploiting the occasional appearance of the word "$BIG" in Trump's post. Trump's post had nothing to do with cryptocurrency; it discussed issues related to college sports regulation.
Nature of the influx of funds : On December 6, the two $BIG memecoins on Solana did experience a short-term influx of funds (totaling $5.1 million in trading volume), but it exhibited typical pump and dump characteristics—all activity of Token 1 was concentrated in the first hour after its release, while nearly 60% of the transactions for Token 2 were sold, indicating that early participants quickly profited and exited.
Risk Warning : This type of event demonstrates the high degree of speculation and information manipulation risk in the memecoin market. Investors should be wary of tokens based on misinterpretations or false narratives, especially those with questionable launch timing, lack of substantial project support, and a rapid decline in trading volume after a short-term surge. The original Bigcoin project on the Abstract chain is unrelated to this hype and continues to maintain low trading volume.
