Trump-Backed Cryptos Skyrocket: 30% Daily Gains as Political Hype Fuels Rally
Politically charged altcoins tied to Donald Trump just ripped double-digit gains—because nothing pumps a speculative asset like a dash of partisan frenzy.
MAGA Money Goes Parabolic
The Trump-linked tokens surged up to 30% in 24 hours, outpacing Bitcoin’s sluggish sideways action. Because why bet on store-of-value narratives when you can ride the volatility of a celebrity endorsement?
Politicians Love Crypto (When It’s Convenient)
No whitepaper? No problem. These projects thrive on meme power and the eternal hope that a tweet from Mar-a-Lago might moon your portfolio. Meanwhile, traditional finance still thinks stablecoins are ‘risk assets.’
Warning: Euphoria Has an Expiration Date
Remember—this is the same market that turned ‘dog coins’ into billion-dollar jokes. Today’s 30% pump could be tomorrow’s ‘rug pull’ headline. But hey, at least the SEC can’t sue a sentiment shift.
Trump-linked crypto projects surge up to 30% in a day
In 2025, coins tied to Trump became one of the most noteworthy stories in crypto. They had lots of political celebrity endorsements, the fast-paced world of solana memecoins, and a supply design that made it hard to get at first.
For $TRUMP, only about 200 million tokens are in circulation, while the maximum supply sits at one billion. On the other hand, World Liberty Financial released 20% of its token supply on Sept. 1, making WLFI tradable on major centralized exchanges.
WLFI token launch profits have also declined sharply. The WLFI market launched in September and briefly added $5 billion to its holdings. However, more than half of that value was wiped out within the first week of trading. Also, POTUS’s crypto portfolio, particularly the donated portion, has now reached an all-time low, dropping below $1 million for the first time.
The sharp drop halved DJT’s WLFI portfolio, which had been valued at over $6 billion. At its current price, Trump’s WLFI holdings are valued at $1.25 billion, down from $2.5 billion at the end of September.
Meanwhile, the WLFI token is trading at approximately $0.1617, representing a 32% surge in the last 24 hours. This is still below the recent all-time high of $0.336, reached within its first week of launch.
On the other hand, $TRUMP is trading at $8.69, a 15% surge in the last 24 hours. The wife’s coin, $MELANIA, is trading at 0.1294, representing a 14% surge in the last 24 hours.
Trump’s crypto business amasses more than $1 billion
According to analysts, the key driver behind the surge is POTUS’s announcement of a $ 2,000″ tariffs dividend” handout to every American. This has naturally attracted attention to Trump-backed projects again.”
Trump said on Truth Social on Sunday that he might give everyone in the US a $2,000 dividend paid for by tariff earnings, except people with very high incomes.
However, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent lowered Optimism when he said that the dividend might be just the tax decreases that are being seen on the president’s agenda.
Trump’s crypto business has generated over $1 billion. Last month, his son Eric confirmed that the amount could be more than that.
Meanwhile, Democrats are still concerned about Trump’s ethics because of his involvement in crypto. They point to his family’s DeFi project, a $2 billion deal with the UAE, and his pardon of Binance founder Changpeng Zhao as examples of clear conflicts of interest.
To that end, investors are concerned that once TRUMP is out of the Oval Office, these coins will be a tale once told.
