The $TRUMP token, launched by President Donald Trump, took off in a big way within 24 hours of its debut on January 17, 2025.
Starting at just $0.18, it shot up to $33 after Trump urged his followers to grab their tokens before a 48-hour claiming window closed.
It’s now trading at $27.27, a slight dip from its peak but still up over 320% from its launch price. Early buyers saw massive returns—some turned less than $1,000 into over $300,000 in mere minutes.
On CoinMarketCap, $TRUMP has climbed to the 28th spot among all cryptocurrencies.
