TRUMP is trading near $1.79 today, down about 96% from its peak. 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, positions are worth a total of $465 million. Since launch, approximately $71 billion in value has flowed through the token.
Trump, who was once a critic of crypto, embraced the technology during the 2024 election campaign before his return to the White House, promising to make the United States the crypto capital of the world. Since then, he has unapologetically maintained his ties to crypto, even as he and his appointees have steered the federal government toward industry adoption.
Recently, Trump said there was nothing wrong with the income he made from his crypto-related businesses. He told CNBC that he had done nothing illegal and was unaware of the extent of his assets. Trump also added that he gave day-to-day control of his businesses to his two eldest sons before taking office without handing them over.
Family ties
The crypto company that Trump and his family retained a stake in, World Liberty Financial, saw its token increase losses under a different structure.
