The TRUMP memecoin, associated with the family of U.S. President Donald Trump, has experienced a significant decline in its market capitalization. Since its market launch in January 2025, the asset has lost 91% of its value and is currently valued at $1.2 billion, although at its peak, this figure reached $12.8 billion.

Value Decline After Rapid Growth
TRUMP appeared on the market on January 18, 2025, shortly before Trump’s inauguration. The official project website states that 80% of the total token supply was reserved for “creators and CIC Digital” — a company linked to the U.S. President’s family.
“In the early days after the launch, Eric and Donald Trump Jr. publicly supported the coin. The President himself also did so. As a result, by January 22, TRUMP reached a market cap peak of $12.8 billion, valuing the ‘creators’ share at $10 billion.”
However, soon after, the memecoin faced a correction. Despite repeated attempts by the initiators to boost interest in the asset, the market capitalization of TRUMP gradually decreased.
Mergers and Further Decline
As of June 3, the token’s capitalization had shrunk to $2.2 billion, representing an 82% decrease from its peak value. Just a few days later, an announcement was made regarding the “merger” of TRUMP with World Liberty Financial, as well as plans to buy back a significant portion of the tokens for the treasury. At that time, the market value of the asset was $1.9 billion.
By October 2025, TRUMP had dropped to $1.2 billion. In comparison, during the same period, Bitcoin showed an increase of approximately 12%.
It is worth noting that the TRUMP project has faced criticism from lawmakers and regulators. They have expressed concerns about the potential corrupting influence of such cryptocurrencies on political processes in the U.S. Investigations may also touch upon other initiatives related to the Trump family.
