Melania Meme Coin Soars Past $8 Amid Family Crypto Craze
Just two days after President-elect Donald Trump’s meme coin, TRUMP , generated a buzz worth tens of billions, Melania Trump made her debut in the crypto world with her very own token: MELANIA. The coin launched Sunday night, signaling that the Trump family’s involvement in cryptocurrency is far from a passing trend.
The launch of MELANIA raises eyebrows, not just for its timing but for the unprecedented intertwining of public figures and personal financial ventures. Critics are questioning the ethics of the situation as the first-lady-in-waiting’s token rapidly gains traction.
MELANIA Token Stats by the numbers
- Supply: The token has a total supply of 1 billion.
- Team Allocation: 35% of the supply is reserved for the team, set to unlock fully in just 13 months.
- Wallet Holders: Over 22,000 wallets were holding MELANIA shortly after its launch, according to Solscan .
- Price Surge: The token skyrocketed past $8 on Dexscreener, reaching a fully diluted market cap of over $8 billion.
- Solana token address: FUAfBo2jgks6gB4Z4LfZkqSZgzNucisEHqnNebaRxM1P
This rapid price increase means the team’s allocation could be worth more than $1.5 billion—an extraordinary valuation just days after launch.
Market Reaction: TRUMP Coin Takes a Hit
While MELANIA token soared, TRUMP, the president-elect’s meme coin, experienced a sharp decline. After the announcement of a second family coin, TRUMP’s price plummeted by 36%, falling from $72 to $44 at press time, according to CoinGecko.
This suggests investors may be questioning the family’s strategy of multiple token launches, potentially diluting interest in the individual projects.

What’s Next for MELANIA and TRUMP Tokens?
The launch of MELANIA signals that the Trump family is doubling down on crypto. However, this raises critical concerns about the overlap of public service and private profit. The tokens’ rapid market activity may attract regulatory scrutiny, especially given their association with high-profile political figures.
For investors, MELANIA’s sharp rise might signal potential profits, but the volatility of meme coins and their speculative nature mean risks remain high. The next few weeks will be crucial as the market determines whether these tokens are sustainable or just another short-term hype. Will we see other Trump family coins rise soon?

Federal Reserve approves stress test reform by a 6-1 vote: Capital requirement volatility halved, sole dissenting vote warns of reduced resilience
The Federal Reserve has officially approved two final rules aimed at increasing transparency and reducing capital requirement volatility by approximately 50%. The new regulations will seek public comments on stress test scenarios and will calculate the capital buffer based on the average of the results from two consecutive years of testing. This averaging mechanism will take effect in 2028. The reforms are the result of years of negotiation within the banking sector and have been welcomed by industry groups. However, critics such as Governor Barr warn that the reforms will weaken the constraints of stress testing and reduce the overall resilience of the banking system.
