Bitaigen Research The incoming U.S. President Donald Trump plans to issue an executive order after taking office that will list cryptocurrency as a national priority and establish a cryptocurrency advisory committee within the government to voice industry policy positions. Sources say the order is intended to guide federal agencies in cooperating with the crypto sector, underscoring its strategic importance. In addition, the Trump team is reportedly discussing the cessation of federal lawsuits related to cryptocurrency in order to foster industry growth. Trump is open to creating a strategic reserve that includes a digital currency founded in the United States.
Trump himself launched a meme coin on the Solana blockchain named TRUMP. At the time of writing, the TRUMP token’s market capitalization briefly surpassed $60 billion, with a fully diluted valuation (FDV) exceeding that of DOGE.
The chart above shows a record‑setting surge achieved in just four hours—an unprecedented feat in crypto history. No previously launched token has ever reached a $30 billion valuation within 12 hours of being minted on‑chain.
From the perspectives of policy, technology, and market dynamics, we provide an in‑depth analysis of the crypto executive order that could be issued after Trump’s inauguration and of the TRUMP meme coin he personally launched. We assess the potential impact on industry architecture, and we explore the risks and opportunities behind the token to help readers form a rational view of its future trajectory.
1. Token Economic Model
*Note: The official Trump meme token TRUMP released in this wave may be backed by the same team that produced the earlier “Trump Digital Trading Cards” NFT series.* The “Trump Digital Trading Cards” were issued by NFT INT LLC, which purchased the right to use Trump’s name and likeness from CIC Digital LLC for the creation and sale of the NFT collection.
According to GetTrumpMemes.com, the initial purchase of TRUMP must be made through Moonshot, which accepts traditional payment methods such as Apple Pay, Visa, Mastercard, Venmo, as well as crypto payments like USDC and SOL.
TRUMP’s contract address is publicly disclosed (`6p6xgHyF7AeE6TZkSmFsko444wqoP15icUSqi2jfGiPN`), and the on‑chain liquidity pool has accumulated $71.2 million, making on‑chain purchases more convenient for users.
The TRUMP token was minted on the Solana blockchain to commemorate the moment on July 13 2024 when Trump, after surviving an assassination attempt, raised his fist and shouted the iconic slogan “FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT”.
GetTrumpMemes states that the project is meant to express support for the ideals and beliefs embodied by the “TRUMP” symbol and its associated artwork; it is not presented as an investment opportunity, investment contract, or any type of security.
GetTrumpMemes also emphasizes that it does not engage in politics and is not affiliated with any political campaign or government agency.
The total supply of TRUMP is 1 billion tokens, with only 200 million circulating at genesis; the remaining 800 million will be gradually unlocked over the next three years.
The “GetTrumpMemes.com” page indicates that Trump’s affiliated company CIC Digital LLC and Fight Fight Fight LLC jointly own 80 % of the TRUMP tokens (the official language refers to “the token”), subject to the three‑year unlocking schedule. The owners of Fight Fight Fight LLC—CIC Digital LLC and Celebration Cards LLC—will receive revenues generated from TRUMP transactions.
The detailed allocation and future unlocking timeline are illustrated in the figure below.
As meme‑related concepts tied to the election have largely faded, Trump used his official account and record‑breaking data to announce his arrival in the crypto world, prompting the market to respond with $20 billion of trading volume.
This is an unequivocal boost for the crypto industry. A meme token with a $10 billion market cap lifts the sector’s ceiling and expands the imagination of capital allocation. At this stage, the token’s specific utility is no longer the focal point; the significance lies in a sitting U.S. President personally issuing a token and the far‑reaching implications for the industry.
Next Monday, Trump will officially begin his second term as President of the United States. After an expensive campaign season, the crypto sector is set to welcome its own “president.”
Benefiting from Trump’s pledge to create a strategic Bitcoin reserve, Bitcoin received a noticeable lift following his election. Simultaneously, Ethereum infrastructure projects led by AAVE shone during the “Trump rally” of December 2023, and the market broadly expects ETH to reach new highs in the coming months.
Industry observers also believe that Trump’s administration could be especially beneficial for the Solana network, which emphasizes real‑world applications over merely serving as a reserve asset.
In the week preceding Trump’s inauguration, SOL price rose 19 %. On January 16, according to a New York Post article cited by @tier10k, Trump expressed an “open stance” toward adopting U.S.–originated digital assets such as Solana, USD Coin, and Ripple as strategic reserves. The news pushed SOL up an additional 5 %.
2. Potential Benefits of Trump’s Crypto Policy for SOL
On January 15, Reuters reported that three insiders disclosed that senior Republican officials at the SEC plan to overhaul the agency’s crypto‑policy framework the week after Trump assumes office.
Two of the sources said Commissioners Hester Peirce and Mark Uyeda are contemplating launching a rule‑making process to clarify under what circumstances a digital asset would be treated as a security, and to review several crypto cases currently pending in court.
In 2023, the SEC sued both Coinbase and Binance, accusing the exchanges of facilitating trades of multiple tokens—including SOL—without proper broker‑dealer registration.
When the SEC, under Chairman Gary Gensler, attempted to classify SOL as a security, it argued that any U.S. company trading the token would be violating securities law because the agency had only issued two specialized broker‑dealer licenses, neither of which covered SOL trading.
Although the SEC later withdrew its allegations against Solana in the Binance lawsuit, a suspension of enforcement actions against Coinbase would dramatically lower the regulatory hurdles facing SOL network adoption.
3. Prospects for a SOL ETF
As the controversy over whether Solana constitutes an unregistered security subsides, some market participants are beginning to envision a SOL exchange‑traded fund (ETF), believing that a regulated Solana investment vehicle could eventually list on a public exchange. Polymarket currently estimates a 75 % probability that a SOL ETF will receive approval in 2025, yet Leah Wald, CEO of Sol Strategies, recently stated in an interview that she does not expect a SOL ETF to be approved in the short term.
During Trump’s term—especially under a more crypto‑friendly regulatory climate—Solana could enjoy an intangible, hard‑to‑quantify upside.
Titus Capilnean, Vice President of Market Expansion at Civic Technologies, notes that while SOL’s regulatory status remains ambiguous, developers have largely focused on driving meme‑coin trading, which functions as a form of protest against the SEC’s regulatory uncertainty.
Capilnean adds that after Trump takes office, the crypto sector “may shift from pure speculation to growth driven by utility,” giving developers greater confidence to launch sophisticated applications without fearing regulatory pushback.
Over the past year, numerous U.S. Solana developers have indicated that a clearer regulatory environment would dramatically improve product‑market fit opportunities. The time to test that hypothesis is now.
TRUMP may serve as a proof point: Trump’s “unconventional” brand combined with a self‑issued token on the widely adopted Solana chain, following the precedent set by the GameStop (GME) saga, suggests that retail enthusiasm could be substantial.
4. Eric Trump Confirms the Legitimacy of the TRUMP Token
On January 18, Trump’s eldest son Eric Trump retweeted crypto magnate David Sacks on social media, stating: “The era of terror‑based control over crypto is over; American crypto innovation is just beginning.” He also referenced Bitcoin, the family venture World Liberty Financial, and the new official meme project TRUMP.
5. What Is the Outlook for the Trump Token?
Market sentiment toward the TRUMP token remains broadly positive; despite some pull‑backs, the overall outlook is considered optimistic. The main reasons are outlined below:
Multiple insiders have revealed that Trump intends to use executive authority after taking office to reduce regulatory burdens on crypto firms and to accelerate digital‑asset adoption.
Going forward, the incoming U.S. President Trump is expected to issue an executive order that designates cryptocurrency as a national priority and creates a cryptocurrency advisory committee within the federal government to steer collaboration between agencies and the industry, highlighting its strategic relevance. His team is also discussing halting ongoing federal lawsuits targeting the crypto sector.
Furthermore, Trump has expressed openness to establishing a strategic reserve that includes a digital currency created in the United States.
Although the crypto community has largely welcomed the proposal, the notion of a “America‑First” strategic reserve that privileges Solana, USD Coin, and Ripple—digital assets founded in the United States—has sparked some debate. In recent weeks, Trump has met with the founders of these assets, and his stance is perceived as receptive.
Previously, as Trump’s inauguration approached, senior crypto executives scrambled for opportunities to engage with him and to secure seats on the advisory committee.
According to Dune Analytics data available at the time of publication, the TRUMP token’s key metrics are as follows:
6. The TRUMP Token
The token’s artwork is derived from a photo taken on July 13 2024, when Trump, after surviving an assassination attempt, raised both arms and shouted the signature rallying cry “FIGHT.”
GetTrumpMemes.com reiterates that the project is intended to convey support for the ideals and beliefs represented by the “TRUMP” symbol and its associated artwork; it is not an investment opportunity, investment contract, or any form of security.
The token is currently available on Moonshot, which accepts traditional payment methods such as Apple Pay, Visa, Mastercard, and Venmo.
As of this article’s release, retail inflows on Moonshot have topped $170,000.
It is noteworthy that Trump’s affiliated entity CIC Digital LLC and Fight Fight Fight LLC together own 80 % of the TRUMP tokens, subject to the three‑year unlocking schedule. The owners of Fight Fight Fight LLC—CIC Digital LLC and Celebration Cards LLC—will receive revenue generated from TRUMP transactions.
Kara Calvert, Vice President of U.S. Policy at Coinbase Global Inc., said: “Trump’s move signals that America is back in the game; we are ready to lead the industry, sending a clear message to other nations—watch out, or you’ll be left behind.”
Andrei Grachev, partner at DWF Labs, tweeted that Trump is delivering the best marketing the crypto market has ever seen.
Greeks.live observed that the market maintained strong momentum ahead of the inauguration, with traders exercising caution when selling bullish options, broadly believing that contrarian moves carry heightened risk. Some participants noted the potential for an over‑extension, but most agreed that a sharp correction before the inauguration ceremony was unlikely.
7. Looking Ahead
With President‑elect Trump poised to issue an executive order that backs cryptocurrency, the Web3 landscape is expected to expand dramatically.
By easing regulatory pressure on crypto firms and encouraging broader digital‑asset adoption, the TRUMP meme token could garner increased recognition and support on a global scale.
Furthermore, establishing an “America‑First” strategic reserve would further cement the United States’ leadership position in the digital‑currency arena.
In the long run, the TRUMP meme token may become a significant player in the crypto market and help drive the development of the global digital economy. We will watch closely as this historic moment unfolds.
