TRUMP is trading today near $1.79, about 96% off its high. Its market value is $425 million, up from nearly $15 billion at the January 2025 peak. Of the 722,000 wallets still holding the token, the positions are worth $465 million combined. Since its launch, around $71 billion in value has moved through the token.
Trump, once a critic of cryptocurrencies, embraced the technology during the 2024 election campaign before his return to the White House, promising to make the United States the cryptocurrency capital of the world. Since then, he has unapologetically maintained his ties to cryptocurrencies, even as he and his appointees have led the federal government toward industry adoption.
Recently, Trump has said that there is nothing wrong with the income he made from his cryptocurrency-related businesses. He told CNBC he did nothing illegal and was unaware of the extent of his involvements. Trump also added that he handed over day-to-day control of his businesses to his two oldest sons before taking office without divesting.
Family ties
The cryptocurrency company in which Trump and his family maintain an ownership stake, World Liberty Financial, saw its token widen losses under a different structure.
WLFI tokens were sold through an initial coin offering (ICO) at $0.015 in the first round and $0.05 to the public, and remained non-transferable until September 1, 2025. Secondary trading opened that day at $0.29 and reached $0.33.
