TRUMP Meme Coin Soars 75% Amid Regulatory Optimism
The OFFICIAL TRUMP meme coin has surged 75% in just one week, despite insider sales and its dismal overall performance. The cryptocurrency rose from $1.39 on August 18 to $2.43 at press time on Tuesday, August 25.
This significant gain came as President Donald Trump urged Congress to pass the CLARITY Act and reiterated his administration's willingness to build a strategic Bitcoin reserve. Additionally, reports of the CFTC preparing to create rules for market clarity fueled optimism in the cryptocurrency market.
However, despite the strong rally, the team behind TRUMP meme coin engaged in significant insider selling, extracting $3.4 million worth of USDC stablecoin across 10 hours on August 23. This has had an impact on price, with the meme coin reaching a recent high of $3.28 before retracing 25.91%.
