On January 18, Donald Trump introduced his $TRUMP memecoin, followed closely by Melania Trump’s $MELANIA on January 20.

For many participants, Official Trump (TRUMP) and Official Melania (MELANIA) represented their entry point into cryptocurrency. This underlines the growing significance of memecoins in bringing new users into the crypto space.

On January 18, Donald Trump’s memecoin launch captured widespread attention, reaching a peak value of $72.62 and a market capitalization of $14.5 billion. Shortly after, Melania Trump introduced her own token, MELANIA, adding to the buzz.

This data underscores how memecoins can attract a wave of new participants to the cryptocurrency market.

The strong performance of these tokens underscores the appeal of politically-linked cryptocurrencies. The survey data, however, does not include all holders of these memecoins.

Americans React to TRUMP and MELANIA Coins

Despite their financial achievements, TRUMP and MELANIA memecoins face skepticism from 55% of Americans, who suspect the Trumps of manipulating the market for personal gain. Such concerns have fueled debate over the appropriateness of political figures influencing crypto trends.

Moreover, 75% of respondents view TRUMP as a destabilizing factor for the market. A striking 98% of these individuals avoided investing in the token, reflecting broader apprehensions about the implications of politically tied cryptocurrencies on the sector’s long-term stability.
