In a world where finance and politics are increasingly intertwining, the launch of the same Trump by Donald Trump and his sons caused a shock wave on the markets. What could have been a crypto branding operation turned into a brutal musical chairs game, where the first arrived pocketed hundreds of millions of dollars, and left a tide of disappointed losers behind. In just a few hours, experienced traders have multiplied their dizzying, and benefit from a speculative flight which propelled the price of token at $ 75 before it collapses. If the phenomenon of the same is not new, the direct role of Donald Trump in this case calls for ethics, regulation and the future of political cryptos.
A winning blow for some privileged
A few seconds after Donald Trump announced on social networks the launch of the same Trump, an anonymous investor placed a colossal bet of $ 1.1 million, with the acquisition of 5.9 million tokens at the entrance price 18 cents. This transaction, recorded on the blockchain, turned out to be an incredibly profitable maneuver. In 48 hours, this investor garnered $ 109 million. Thus, the latter surfed on a spectacular flight of the Token Prize.
This phenomenon was not limited to a single actor. Thirty fast traders won $ 669 million in a few days, thanks to the application of a well -established strategy on this type of volatile active ingredients. This mechanism is known: the first buyers massively accumulate tokens at low prices, trigger a wave of speculation, then liquidate their assets at stratospheric levels, and leave behind a horde of trapped investors at all too high prices.
A financial sinking for the majority of investors
While the token Trump reached his peak at $ 75the fall was brutal. In the space of a few days, its price fell to 17 dollars, which causes colossal losses for the vast majority of crypto investors. 813,000 portfolios have recorded cumulative losses that exceed $ 2 billion.
History is familiar to observers of the Crypto market. This massive sale movement orchestrated by the first buyers precipitated the debacle. Such a situation has left thousands of investors, sometimes fervent supporters of Trump, with devalued assets. “This token is a joke,” declared In a publication on the social network X (ex Twitter) Shawn M. Whitson, a disappointed investor, after having seen his hiring in a few days.
Beyond the financial losses, this fiasco provides information on the risks of manipulation on the crypto markets and the lack of regulation which surrounds these new forms of speculation. While Donald Trump and his partners have already garnered $ 100 million in transaction costs, the question of ethics and exploitation of small crypto investors becomes central. In addition, while the Trump administration seeks to alleviate the regulation of the sector, votes rise to denounce a collusion between the personal interests of the president and the political decisions to come on the cryptos, accusing the same Trump of serving interests obscure and illegal. This episode thus perfectly illustrates the tenuous border between financial and economic predation, in a market where speed prevails over caution.
