Disclaimers on the websites of both the $Trump and $Melania coins said they were "not intended to be, or the subject of" an investment opportunity or a security.
Both the $Trump and $Melania coins are available on the website despite disclaimers stating that they are "not intended to be, or the subject of" an investment opportunity or a security.
The CoinMarketCap website shows that $Trump has a total market valuation of about $12bn (£9.8bn), while $Melania's stands at around $1.7bn.
Previously, Trump had called crypto a "scam" but during the 2024 election campaign became the first presidential candidate to accept digital assets as donations.
On the campaign trail, Trump also said he would create a strategic bitcoin stockpile and appoint financial regulators that take a more positive stance towards digital assets.
This spurred expectations that he would reduce regulations on the crypto industry.
After Trump's victory, bitcoin jumped to a record high and is currently trading at $107,000, according to crypto trading platform Coinbase.
On Friday, the incoming artificial intelligence (AI) and crypto tsar David Sacks held a "Crypto Ball" in Washington, DC.
Other cryptocurrencies, including dogecoin - which has been promoted by high-profile Trump supporter Elon Musk - have also risen sharply this year.
Under President Joe Biden, regulators expressed concerns about fraud and money laundering as they cracked down on crypto companies by suing exchanges.
