TRUMP

kironet996

ofc it's not normal when TRUMP is leading the way. +50% just today

kironet996

why the hell is TRUMP pumping so much lol

futon_potato

Did you post this from your $500 Trump phone that you bought with $TRUMP coin while wearing your $350 Trump branded "Victory" cologne? (yes, all of these things are real)

Smoked_Ribs

The Trump coin ($TRUMP) has been as bad as Trump stock (DJT). Trump ran multiple conventional casinos into bankruptcy. He has a 36 yo yes man running the CFTC. As always, the little guys will end up taking it in the shorts.

IndependentShoddy485

The only two things that feels suspicious to me in crypto industry are TRUMP and his family👀

Blooberino

I get it. And I've earned my downvotes for not saying the absolute most negative thing about this coin because it has the president attached to it. But the shape of the price trend matches DOT, COMP, AVAX, CRV, ATOM, etc... pretty much every alt, none of which were rugpulls. Just shitcoins with no use and history will forget. Comes out strong and fades into the abyss of alts. But because it's TRUMP, the hivemind demands the worst. It's my fault for attempting impartiality.

MrCalabunga

I mean, I thought this was obvious? Just take a look at the charts around and after his meme coins came out. BTC was at an ATH, ETH was hovering around $3,500, then about a week or two after $TRUMP launches crypto starts receding and has yet to recover? What a weird coincidence.

Blooberino

If someone were to pull a rug out from underneath you, it would be swift and sudden. TRUMP lost value by a few percentage points over the course of weeks to months.

Post is by: Technical-Clue-1877 and the url/text [ ](https://goo.gl/GP6ppk)is: /r/CryptoMarkets/comments/1vf83bt/exposing_malicious_crypto_and_trading_community/ Recently I got used as liquidity to a pump and dump crypto scheme and I am here to expose it. I get it.. all my fault... not here to look for pity but rather for vendetta. Already reported them to two online cyber crime places, but from what I found out, dark web websites are hard to take down even for them. I believe the same lowlife people are preparing another similar 'campaign' at the moment and gathering their shady group. At this point I am pretty much done with stupid side crypto projects. All is scam beside bitcoin... but here is how I got targeted, hopefully i can help others not to fall for it... I am member in a few private crypto groups and chats. One of them I have enjoyed for over 4–5 years and I ve spoken with the admin a couple of times, he was always very chill. Obviously I am suspicious he was part of the scheme now but he denies it... still giving him the benefit of the doubt. He says "someone" paid him to pin it as sponsor advice. In beginning of July he pinned a post about up and coming crypto token "JW7 Token" with full analysis and praising of their project. It was not the first time he promotes coins... but the first time we got obliterated in one. I researched briefly, witnessed the token being promoted in few other places... eventually decided to exchange around 70 SOL and put into it, which was approximately 5k $ at the time. 1 JW7 was traded at $46 then and the advice we got was to sell at $80 which "was inevitable by the end of july" (i get it i look like a clown lol) ... there was big analysis and promises you know how these shit tokens work. 5–6 days later, over the course of about 6–7 hours, the coin got obliterated with one big insane red candle and then slowly it got down to what is today: $0.7 (from over $50). I can only assume "the right people" sold in the first red candle and the panic of people like me destoryed it till $0. I will attach chart of the scam coin, but you can search and find it yourself too. I lost almost 90% of my investment by the time i sold. Classic pump and dump. Not the first time, definitely the last - i told myself. Then a week later one of my crypto buddies who also lost money in same jw token, contacts me and send me screenshots of some weird website with weird link (i had no idea back then how dark web onion works). Apparently my buddy was crying in some place about the losses and another guy contacted him exposing him the entire scam explaining to him how we got finessed with the bills to proof. In one of the screenshots clear instructions for the JW7 initial pump with deadlines when to sell and bunch more info about their whole scum operation (i will upload screenshots you can see it). I used AI to teach me how to go to dark web and in no time I download Tor Browser and load their link. And you can't guess the name of this website LOL TRUMP GONE WILD (see screenshot) so this website look just like regular website... you can register as investor or insider. You have ratings, levels of accounts, reviews just like regular shop online. Insiders post campaigns - Investors joins them. One provide the scam operation, the others investing money for pump or whatever is required from them. Obviously this is very illegal, from what chatgpt told me, criminals can hide in dark web and be anonymous without single worry and these sc\*ms have built an entire community that is robbing us, the regular crypto ret\*ards from god knows how much time... I mean we all knew pump and dumps are happening, but i had no idea how organised their deeds are. Today one of their "main guys" created and posted new scheme with introduction where he says "he need XX number of investors and once they put their money in low - he will activate his marketing machine as usual"... and this is most likely who sponsored the post in my group chat... Now my only question to you is: does someone know how we can stop these people? I am literally willing to pay money just to make their life harder. Any suggestion? Where can we report links from dark web? Is there some special place? *I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically.

Just keep buying! I couldn't see any reason to not buy more of $TRUMP!

GameStopSwifties

Its Payday, over. 10B USD will be lost in crypto during the payday weekends. Solana is the home of MEME Coins; 90 Percent of newly made MEME coins, are only designed for a day or two. ANSEM BULL, HBULL, GME BULL Are the three most talked about coins. Sadly, ANSEM BULL, HBULL have serious problems in the contract, most coins are owned by one-person, same thing with TRUMP MEME, one person owns everything. One day, those people will dump and exist the coin. GMEBULL has a breath-taking website. good team, However, the team has failed to list in many Crypto exchanges leading to a price Drop. Currently only listed in MEXC

Schwoanz

The most effective thing you can do is not touch any of that shit with a ten-foot pole, especially USD1 as I’d assume only morons would buy into TRUMP and MELANIA. But by any means: DON’T TRADE USD1 pairs!

Ill-Square-1123

man you know crypto bros are brain rotted when they can't even articulate good reasons for why they don't want something that LEGITIMIZES their asset class. Trump tanked any hope of this passing with his dumbass TRUMP coin. This would have otherwise passed and made digital assets legit and something that no one can ever say will die. too bad.

Django_McFly

Everyone who bought this knew what they were getting into or willingly wanted to donate money and did so via TRUMP. It's a meme coin. If you don't know when the jokes up, then the joke is on you.

One-Measurement-9529

Not really.... Rug pull implies a scam... TRUMP coin was not a actually a Scam. TRUMP was set up to allow trumps billionaire friends to pay him Bribe money by buying TRUMP. Those individuals understood that they were handing their money to trump. Calling it a rugpull is simply false. Any regular folk who were stupid enough to buy TRUMP should have known better.

Itchywasabi

Of course! People who paid billions for this are like buying numbers written in MS Notepad and they called it TRUMP crypto.

LordHenry8

TRUMP to tha Moooooooon!!! No seriously. Please send him to the moon.

PineappleEasy6035

TRUMP coin was created to funnel bribes

DoyleK2013

Good news you can buy Solana for the price of TRUMP at its top and just sit on it for slow continued growth rather than getting rugged by POTUS.

TheVirginVibes

It’s also illegal. Under U.S. law, a president accepting bribes from foreign entities (which TRUMP coin was created for) is illegal on multiple fronts: **•Foreign Emoluments Clause** (Article I, Section 9): bars federal officeholders from accepting gifts, payments, or benefits from foreign states or their agents without Congress’s consent. **•Federal bribery statute** (18 U.S.C. § 201): criminalizes public officials corruptly accepting anything of value in exchange for official acts, regardless of whether the source is foreign or domestic. Now who’s gonna fucking enforce it? MAKE CERTAIN YOU ARE ALL REGISTERED TO VOTE THESE TRAITORS OUT OF OFFICE!

Eskareon

TRUMP IS A MEANIE POOPIE HEAD karma plz

reddit_1999

The timing of the release of the TRUMP and MELANIA coins should have told you all you needed to know. Just before his inauguration. The MAGAts will still lick his taint though.

gatekeepurr

$TRUMP 🤣

Hearasongofuranus

lmao the comments here. The ShitPiss coin, Cardano, Pepe and TRUMP really hurt you guys, huh

Girafferage

Did you buy TRUMP too?

Mountain_Database438

Worth being precise here: the filing shows \~$1.2–1.4B in crypto *revenue* for 2025, not $1.4B sitting in a wallet. Most of it came from the $TRUMP memecoin royalties and World Liberty Financial. The part that actually matters: while he locked in those gains, retail got wrecked. The memecoin went from \~$74 to \~$1.68, and WLF tokens are down \~80%. Classic setup — the house cashes out, the buyers hold the bag. Whatever your politics, the lesson is the same as always: if the main value of a token is a famous name attached to it, you're the exit liquidity.

confusedguy1212

I am still trying to piece together who exactly is the investor who goes and buys TRUMP coins? Justin Sun is one … okay I get what he’s doing. But who else, what is their profile like.

Worried_Quarter469

Nicholas Pinto is among the losers. A frequent crypto trader who voted for Mr. Trump in 2024, Mr. Pinto said he invested a total of roughly $500,000 in the $TRUMP coin, and has now lost about half that investment. “He is leveraging the power of being president to launch currencies, when he seems trustworthy in the public’s eye,” Mr. Pinto said in an interview. “It is kind of incredible. It is almost a legal scam.”

Personal-Bread-1081

drop the soap and grab the bag because the $TRUMP coin is a rug pull

TheNeys

I can say I have made money out of $TRUMP. I shorted that shit as soon its perpetuals were allowed in Hyperliquid and have been doing it for over a year. Most profitable operation I’ve done this bear market.

LinusVPelt

LoL. Sorry but this peak retard thinking... We cannot even believe you aren't joking. Are you for real? Did you really buy into TRUMP thinking it wasn't a completely useless shitcoin? I mean, it was the definition of shitcoin, there's wasn't even an attempt at doing anything... Why would it have survived anything longer than a few weeks?

krtyalor865

That “opportunity” only reoccured because of one reason and one reason only! Donald J Trump - America’s worst and first “crypto President”, - he is a singularity in many forms, but in the world of crypto, he single handedly pumped bitcoin (and more importantly he and his wife’s new TRUMP coins) so hard, people like you all got re-excited and started (again) throwing money at an over-hyped non tangible “currency” that’s simply Too overly complicated for mainstream uptake. And that hard working man man ~~millions~~ BILLIONS off you all, and he didn’t cry a drop going wee wee wee all the way to the biznank. Call me a never trumper, call me a sucker who lost too much on crypto in 2020 to go back for more.. but I’m done, and have been done, with the manipulation of prices, shady business of crypto. Heck, they call it DEFI but there’s way too many folks controlling things, pumping and dumping, too many whales for it to be a truely free naturally driven currency market.

Glass_Ad_2518

I regret to inform you that the Clarity Act will be a rug pull like $TRUMP. It won't pass unless it establishes a CBDC disguised as a "stablecoin."

YellowBook

His TRUMP con sucked up most liquidity last cycle (not mine I hasten to add)

CryptoAnarchyst

They didn’t, they got paid in TRUMP coins… there’s a freaking difference

Kurosaki56843

And let's be real, none of this discount would be possible without the tireless work of our friendly neighborhood crypto president! From the Strategic Bitcoin Reserve nobody can find, to the Clarity Act that's been "two weeks away" for the last 6 months, to the personal $TRUMP meme coin masterclass - the dedication to the cause is unmatched.

Azatis-

Says who, the millions of people who run and bought TRUMP and Melania memecoins ? Coinbase ? I don't give a big F what you doing, this is what free market is for, it is you who getting mad for me preffering Binance instead so i am not asking for your favorite exchange to stop exist, i am asking for my favorite exchange to exist. Gtfo now

at least it's the stablecoin. i would have been dying laughing if it was WLFI or TRUMP.

You’re better off buying TRUMP, XRP ain’t going nowhere.

What if we compared this to TRUMP coin.

Prior_Parsley3960

# Quick Take * **Claim:** Trump-linked crypto ventures generated about **$2.3 billion** in profits for the Trump family and affiliates. * **Main sources:** **World Liberty Financial (WLFI)**, the **TRUMP meme coin**, **AI Financial (formerly ALT5 Sigma)**, and **American Bitcoin**. * **Investor outcome:** Many outside investors reportedly lost substantial amounts as token prices and related stocks fell sharply after launch peaks. * **Key controversy:** Critics argue the projects benefited from political branding, insider advantages, and token lockups, while supporters say participation was voluntary and risks were disclosed. * **Important caveat:** The **$2.3 billion figure is an estimate**, not an audited or officially confirmed number.

TRUMP! REEEEEEEEEEE Please, stop injecting politics into financial threads. The DOW hit 50,000... bitcoin goes up, bitcoin goes down. In case you missed it, Cathie Wood - on May 26 said that Bitcoin will go to $1.25 million and immediately it began to crash. She's the cooler queen of Wall Street. lol. Take off your orange glasses.

Ok_Ad_5894

TRUMP coin, MELANIA COIN, he uses them all to launder money and has caused people to rethink crypto. He is crashing the economy, started a costly war, we will be in a recession very fucking soon. So yeah he does but is what it is.

moneypussiweed

I would NEVER invest in anything that has the word TRUMP… that was your 1st mistake.

oopssomething

ZEC -50% in a day, but TRUMP is the obvious rugpull right?

JarOfNightmares

If you bought TRUMP or voted for this prick you got exactly what you fucking deserved and I don't wanna see a single tear in the room

Mba1956

When you look back on all the other Trump schemes every one was a scam. People got cheap products at inflated prices. Anybody who thought that $TRUMP and $MELANIA were going to be good investments are fools.

oopssomething

Went 30% in TRUMP, it's ATL so nice entry point

AgnosticWaggs

Look at the $TRUMP chart and you'll have your answer

maddy0p

Crypto Twitter really thought they were getting a strategic reserve funded by the Fed, but instead, they got a Department of Labor proposal trying to dump $TRUMP memecoins into their grandma’s 401(k).

Saffuran

The last crash had a few factors that pushed it over the edge, it is not unexplained. \- Trump memecoin rugpolling the most gullible retail traders in the sector 3 times (TRUMP, MELANIA, WLFI) sucked liquidity out of the market \- AI stocks pulling in more retail investors as a more immediate investment vehicle \- Weakness in cyclical investing (Blue Owl, Blackstone, Blackrock, others), creating uncertainty around some risk-on assets that feed off of margin \- Bank of Japan has been raising rates, which is cutting off the free money spigot from the Yen Carry Trade The rest of the "crash" (bear market) is just following BTC's established 4-year cycle trends. None of this is out of the ordinary.

WickWatcher

Wild timeline where Bernie and Warren are the last thing standing between your grandma's pension and the $TRUMP coin. "Crypto in your 401k" sounds like freedom right up until you remember nobody adds an asset to retirement plans so YOU can get rich. They add it so they have someone to sell to. And the guy whose own coin speedran 73 dollars to 2 dollars would absolutely love access to 7 trillion in boomer retirement money. This isn't adoption. It's exit liquidity with a fiduciary safe harbor stapled to it.

OpinionsRdumb

How is this legal? Like can i just start an investment company and use my investors money to just buy a bunch of $TRUMP coin?

Saffuran

It's not FUD because true FUD is generally baseless (hence the uncertainty portion) pointing out the cyclical nature of Cryptocurrency, the seasonality - which is heavily reinforced by structural data - exists to build certainty and to allow people to invest smarter. Bitcoin (and crypto at large) isn't doing anything it hasn't already done before and in fact it is right on schedule. It's also not FUD to say that 80-90% of all cryptocurrencies are shitcoin scams meant to seperate desperate stupid people from their money. I dabble with small amounts in small projects that I like from time to time but even most of those small projects don't end up making it. Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Solana are about the only projects with real staying power - TRON performs well but I really don't like Justin Sun, I am highly skeptical of XRP and Cardano/ADA for different reasons. The only longer-term top-20ish coins I think will survive and grow long term are ZCash (and related assets like ZKS), LINK, and AVAX. The "small" projects that I think are worth dabbling in - but the risk/reward will always be higher with emphasis on the risk - will be things like ONDO, Uniswap (exchanges tend to win long term), and maybe JASMY, depending on how macroeconomics continue to play out in Japan relative to Cryptocurrency. To me, most everything else is higher risk than their peers in this list but with the same level of return (so why take the higher risk), straight up useless memecoins, and lastly just blatant scams like what Trump and his family kept shoving onto the market in 2025 (WLFI, TRUMP, MELANIA.)

troythedefender

I think the overall sense of these post is that nothing is safe so leave. I know that's not what was said verbatim, but I think some of them neglect to identify areas of prudent holding or buying that may remain. I think if liquidity comes in massive amounts again it will be in those assets that tradfi is embracing - the ones given clarity by the SEC and CFTC. Most alts will indeed die and never return. A few will still get pumped and dumped by big money and waves of retain to board the track before it crashes (ala PEPE and TRUMP coin and similar). I get a sense of cryoto is dead, it likely won't return and it's not safe to stay from these posts. I'm hoping the gist of mine is the opposite.

50sat

https://meaningness.com/geeks-mops-sociopaths MOP who caught the tail end of the geek phase? Honestly since '21 it's all psychos and tradfi algo traders with big bucks and bots.. A huge segment of crypto enthusiasts and small market makers was absolutely destroyed by the TRUMP coin maneuver last year so until there's a base in the markets again it's true that much of the crypto (market) space is an echo chamber for wall street but with fewer referees. Also, > 90% of the space now feels like low IQ online gamblers repeating slogans they heard from influencers while pretending everything is random because they personally cannot think beyond surface level narratives. If your personal 'space' is twitter and telegram you're asking for this. I haven't opened telegram in almost a year and my whole perception of Earth is improved by it.

Bitter_Tea442

Solana was $10 a transaction the day TRUMP coin launched while failing 40% of the time and keeping the fee.

APuticulahInduhvidul

Why bother? Trump will ignore whatever is in the bill and make $TRUMP the only legal tender.

ProfitableCheetah

Fwiw Justin also gave them hundreds of millions through $TRUMP. Then he invested a few hundred in WLFI if I remember correctly

biophysicsguy

If people voluntarily choose to buy TRUMP coin, I don't see a problem. American's are forcibly scammed every day by the devaluation of our money and wasting our tax dollars on bullshit and fraud.

basedmfer

Ok - so I'm here to tell you that YES you can launch a coin for practically free (a few pennies in gas probably) and it will show up on DEX. Everyone CAN do this, that's why there are SO MANY coins out there. Clanker, Bankr, Pumpfun, Bagsapp... all options to launch for free and easily swapped (after bonding in the case of pumpfun). And here's the thing - if you make a TRUMP coin right after the real TRUMP coin is launched, you can easily catch a few people trying to buy as quickly as possible and rake in the fees AND sell them. Honorable? No not at all. Possible? Yes extremely. Nobody said this has to be on a CEX... of course that is a lot more work.

partymsl

Kalshi probably should buy some $TRUMP just to make sure...

Prudent-Teacher2889

Side note worth flagging on the "official $TRUMP" discussions: on Ethereum alone, i've indexed 36 contracts using the $TRUMP ticker over the last 30 days - 14 of them are honeypots or hidden-owner rugs. (And since the initial scan, it's perhaps much more than 14.) If anyone sees "$TRUMP" promoted on Uniswap or in a Telegram pump, the address matters way more than the ticker. Easy way to lose money chasing the wrong thing while the actual coin is on Solana.

The price crypto traders were willing to pay for a ticket to a 'VIP reception' with Donald Trump this weekend plunged relative to last year's event. The 297 biggest holders of the $TRUMP coin during a specific window are granted access to a conference on Saturday featuring speeches by the president, boxing champion Mike Tyson and Tether chief executive Paolo Ardoino, as well as a gala lunch with Trump. Of these, the top 29 qualifying holders are given access to a VIP reception with the president, as well as 'other Superstar guests'. Analysis by the FT shows that winners of a VIP ticket held a median of $539,000 of $TRUMP, or about 191,000 coins, at the end of the contest. That compares with approximately $3.28mn, or 250,000 coins, last year. The discounted prices suggest traders have largely fallen out of love with the Trump memecoin, despite the offer of access to the president. The coin is down 93% from its peak, mirroring a broader collapse in the prices of memecoins. 'Memecoins have gotten wrecked,' said Austin Campbell, managing partner of crypto advisory firm Zero Knowledge Consulting. 'The Trump brand is not enough of a carrot to elevate them.' **Read more, here:** [https://www.ft.com/content/3430c2c1-e75e-43bc-8d86-293b4e377d24?segmentid=c50c86e4-586b-23ea-1ac1-7601c9c2476f](https://www.ft.com/content/3430c2c1-e75e-43bc-8d86-293b4e377d24?segmentid=c50c86e4-586b-23ea-1ac1-7601c9c2476f) Victoria - FT social team

I think he made that much on $TRUMP and $MELANIA only

partymsl

Trump will probably say they should use $TRUMP instead...

CaptainTrader32

I shorted TRUMP at its peak :D That position is still open and its worth ALLLLLLLOT

SeriousGains

The dude took a $71 million loss on TRUMP all for the gala dinner. That makes his $4.5 million dinner Warren Buffett look like nothing.

tractorix

open your eyes bro, every trader is openly shorting TRUMP and MELANIA

There's WLFI and then there's TRUMP. WLFI is a 'legit' crypto firm that runs USD1 and WLFI tokens, IDK what else. Please take the sarcasm quotes as apology for calling it legit. I think that TRUMP is independent or technically separate and just 'a meme coin' that's good for bribes and stuff.

usd1, wlf. all of it is TRUMP trash.

Aahahahaha pulling an article from an activist advocacy group involved in lawsuits that uses emotional language like “cruel,” “strip,” “violently pulled out”. You people are mental cases, nothing you say is ever based in any reality. It’s just “HATE TRUMP BAD MAN BAD MAN PEDO PEDO!” And that’s all you got. Can you be more full of the brown stuff that smells? These individuals were not permanent legal immigrants (green card holders). They were on temporary humanitarian parole. That’s a big distinction. Their legal presence was temporary, they did not have permanent immigration status. The policy was ending their status, not automatically deporting them all immediately. Deportation would only happen if they stay without status. It’s more like they were Ending legal protections that could make them deportable. And this was from last year 🤡

WLFI and TRUMP will bottom out ad these criminals dump on retail, lining their pockets all the way down.

TRUMP is the most fitting coin here

might be a knock on Trump and family collecting crypto transaction fees themselves lol. $WLFI, $TRUMP, $MELANIA, $USD1 sablecoin.

ecky--ptang-zooboing

They scammed it all back with $TRUMP, $MELANIA, $WLFI

Wouldn't influencing increased activity benefit miners and those that get a % of transaction fees? Like the Trump-owned American Mining ($BTC), his 60% ownership of Wolf Liberty Financial ($WLFI), his % on transactions ($USD1 stablecoin), his holdings of $ETH, then $TRUMP and $MELANIA?

tldr; Official TRUMP meme coin rose after false rumors spread that President Donald Trump had suffered a medical emergency and been taken to Walter Reed. The speculation followed canceled public appearances and recycled footage, but the White House said Trump remained in Washington working from the White House and Oval Office. TRUMP briefly jumped nearly 5%, with other Trump-themed meme coins also rallying, showing how debunked political rumors can still move speculative crypto markets. *This summary is auto generated by a bot and not meant to replace reading the original article.

Be careful mentioning that on this sub, I often get down voted for mentioning the most obvious point in the world. This is why I sold my entire portfolio in December of 2024 when TRUMP coin was all the rage. There was never a scenario where this lunatic was going to be good for the economy.

The profits come from three ventures: the TRUMP memecoin ($427M), World Liberty Financial ($550M+ in token sales), and American Bitcoin Corp (paper gains from a $1.5B peak valuation). So not the insider trading, just dumb people buying memecoins.
