According to cryptocurrency analytics firm Nansen, approximately 988,905 accounts have incurred losses on the $TRUMP memecoin, totaling $3.8 billion as of the end of June. This represents about two-thirds of all buyers. The coin's price on Sunday was $1.69, down nearly 98% from its all-time high of $75.35. Trump announced the memecoin three days before his inauguration in 2025. He had previously co-founded a crypto startup, World Liberty Financial, with his sons. The associated $WLFI coin has also seen a significant decline. In a recent financial disclosure, the president reported earning $636 million from the $TRUMP memecoin, which accounts for nearly half of the $1.4 billion he made from the crypto industry last year. Under the Trump administration, the Securities and Exchange Commission has stated it will not regulate memecoins as securities and has dropped several lawsuits against crypto companies. A White House spokesperson commented, "President Trump proudly made the United States the crypto capital of the world."
