📌 Let the vibe shift begin

5. Trump Launches Memecoin

In one of the most stunning moves in crypto history, President-elect Trump has launched a memecoin, TRUMP, on Solana. The project plans to issue 1 billion tokens over three years, with Trump retaining 80% of the supply. Immediately after launch, TRUMPs market cap spiked to ~$15 billion, placing it squarely in the top 15 assets by market cap. The knock-on effects of this launch, both positive and negative (and trust us, there will be many of both), are hard to even internalize at this point.

4. Melania Memecoin Launches, Causing TRUMP To Dump

Not to be outdone by her husband, Trump’s wife Melania launched her own memecoin last night, creating mass confusion and causing TRUMP to lose billions in market cap.

3. Exchanges Rush To List Presidential Memecoins

“Put Fartcoin on the backburner – we need to get TRUMP and MELANIA listed ASAP.” Knowing that hundreds of thousands, if not millions, of new traders, will rush to buy Trump’s memecoin, traditional centralized exchanges are rushing to list the token. Kraken, Crypto•com, & Robinhood have already all listed, with Coinbase expected to follow today.

2. Solana ATH on Memecoin Mania

With the launch of TRUMP on the Solana blockchain, SOL has spiked to new all-time highs. SOL traded as high as $289, eclipsing its previous ATH set in November. Daily transaction fees also set new ATHs of $56.5 million, more than double the previous high of $27.2 million. Solana’s native token wasn’t the only winner associated with the blockchain, though. Several Solana-based protocols, Moonshot, Jupiter, Meteora, and Phantom, also had record-breaking usage.

1. BTC Hits New ATH

In the early hours of Trump’s inauguration day, Bitcoin hit a storybook all-time high of $108.7k – just in time for America’s first openly pro-crypto president to take his oath. Sure, the memecoin frenzy is adding fuel, but it’s Trump’s big promises – overturning SAB 121, revamping the SEC, rejecting CBDCs, freeing Ross, and adding a BTC strategic reserve – that are setting expectations even higher than prices. The vibe shift has officially begun. Will it live up to the hype? Buckle up.
