Trump Digital Trading Cards Surge Despite Skepticism from Some Prominent Investors
Jan 29, 2025 at 11:09 pm
TRUMP-OFFICIAL (USD) traded just above $27 after hitting a high north of $73 the day before the inauguration. The coin's market cap currently stands above $5 billion.
Several cryptocurrencies linked to former President Donald Trump or his family experienced sharp declines over the weekend, while others continued to rise amid skepticism from some prominent investors — even those betting against the market.
Trump coin (TRUMP-OFFICIAL USD) fell to around $27.30 on Monday morning after hitting a high of over $73 the day before the inauguration. The coin's market cap was at $5.1 billion at the time.
Meanwhile, Melania coin (MELANIA-OFFICIAL-USD), which launched the day before the president took office, rose to a high of nearly $5 before falling to around $2.30 each.
Trump stock (DJT) rose 15% on Monday after the parent company of Truth Social announced it will expand into financial services and possibly buy bitcoin (BTC-USD) and other digital tokens.
Both Trump coin and Melania coin are available on FTX, a cryptocurrency exchange that filed for bankruptcy last year. The coins' websites state they "are not intended to be, or to be the subject of, an investment opportunity, investment contract, or security of any type."
In a recent interview with Yahoo Finance, Galaxy Digital CEO Mike Novogratz said he was "short seven figures" on Trump coin, a bet that the coin will continue to fall in value. At the same time, he said he was "skeptical" of the coin's staying power.
"I think it's a joke, but I'm not going to stand in the way of people having fun," Novogratz added.
Others were more skeptical of the coins' staying power, even among those betting against the market.
"I think retail is going to get left holding the bag on both of the Trump coins," Skybridge Capital founder Anthony Scaramucci said at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland.
Scaramucci, who was a former White House communications director during Trump's first term, added that he was "short a couple million" on both coins.
"I think they're going to go down, but I don't think they're going to stay," he said. "I think the rug's going to get pulled on both of them."
