- Trump Token soared following Donald Trump public endorsement on Truth Social.
- The token’s price jumped 10%, with trading volume spiking over 400% in 24 hours.
- The endorsement has sparked a wider meme coin boom, with speculative bets pouring in.
Following the public endorsement by President Donald Trump, the Official Trump $TRUMP meme token saw the token’s value increase. Trump, in a Truth Social post, called the Solana-based token “the greatest of them all,” triggering a 10% price hike from $10.9 to $12.
The trading volume surged over 400% to $1.6 billion within 24 hours, pushing the token’s market cap to $2.4 billion. The approval pushed $TRUMP onto one of the biggest gainers, and demand for the token spiked all over again.
Despite the pump, $TRUMP remains well over 80% down from its January high, which indicates just how volatile meme coins are. Trump’s backing has plainly renewed optimism within the market, however.
