Now there's a $MELANIA meme coin to go with the $TRUMP cryptocurrency meme coin. Both coin prices rose to generate billions of dollars.

Melania Trump launched her own cryptocurrency token, $MELANIA, which briefly tanked the price of her husband’s token, $TRUMP, by 50 per cent. At present, both tokens are rising in value and attracting significant investments from fans.

Melania Trump has been branded a "shameless grifter" by critics after she launched her own meme coin on the same day that her husband, President-elect Donald Trump, unveiled his new cryptocurrency.

The new business venture by the Trump family is generating intensifying criticism and ethics questions, even as it has turned into an overnight phenomenon, generating a windfall on paper.

The new $TRUMP meme coin – a type of cryptocurrency – launched Friday night with posts on Trump's Truth Social social media platform and on X, the social network previously known as Twitter. According to the coin's website, gettrumpmemes.com, there are 200 million $TRUMP coins available now, with plans to have 1 billion over the next three years.

As social media grows, so too does awareness of cryptocurrencies. And hearing about them online may affect people's behavior, according to a new study from the University of Georgia. The study was published in the International Journal of Bank Marketing and was co-authored by Kyoung Tae Kim of the University of Alabama's Department of Consumer Sciences.

On the heels of its big post-reveal gains, Official Trump now has a market capitalization of roughly $10.4 billion. Melania Trump also debuted her own cryptocurrency yesterday. Official Melania Meme has also seen strong bullish momentum out of the gate and now has a market cap of roughly $1.6 billion.

In the volatile, often unpredictable world of cryptocurrency, few stories are as quirky and unexpected as that of Billy Markus, the co-founder of Dogecoin.

That’s because victims don’t like to report what has happened to them.
