It all started well for the $ Trump token: a spectacular flight, support assumed by the former president and promises of digital magnitude. But barely three months later, the rocket crashed. April 18 marked a brutal turning point with the release of 40 million tokens. Result: a 90 % tumble from the January summit. What remember that digital dreams can quickly turn into financial nightmare … especially when politics invites itself to the party.
In short
- Unlocking 40 million $ Trump tokens, equivalent to 20 % of the supply in circulation.
- The price of token drops at $ 8, far from the summit of $ 73.43.
- Entities linked to Trump hold 80 % of the Total Tokens offer.
- Experts raise ethical concerns concerning the political and financial implications of the project.
Trump: a dazzling launch, an equally fast fall
On January 19, 2025, the Trump $ token reached its peak at 73.43 dollars. At the time, Donald Trump is preparing to become president again, and his enthusiasm for the cryptos is no doubt. “” I love $ trump – so cool !!! “, He writes on Truth Social. The effect is immediate: the euphoria seizes the markets, the wallets swell, and the traders already speak of a future dominated by the presidential tokens.
But this April 18, the shower is frozen: 40 million tokens – Or 309 million dollars – are released on the market. The course collapses. In one day, the value of the token falls at less than $ 8. Worse, this release represents only 20 % of the offer total. Other waves of unlocking are planned … enough to shake the remaining holders.
Behind the curtain: a blurred and very family architecture
This token is also a family affair. Two entities hold 80 % of the offer: CIC Digital LLC And Fight Fight Fight LLC. Do these names tell you nothing? No wonder. They are however directly linked to the Trump universe. CIC Digital belongs to a trust controlled by the president's children. Fight Fight Fight LLC, for its part, is co -managed by CIC Digital and a company based in Wyoming.
Even the name sounds like a campaign slogan howled in full assassination attempt:
Fight! Fight! Fight!
All of this is an amazing opacity. According to Rob Hadick, from Dragonfly:
It is very strange to have six different groups of holders without knowing who is who.
Even in the little transparent world of the same, it breaks organizational fog records. Developers have already cashed 350 million profitsmainly thanks to the implementation of Liquidity Pools allowing to sell their tokens in USDC.
And while investors lose 2 billion, the initiates are quietly making their market.
A presidential crypto strategy? Between audacity and conflict of interest
Since his return to the White House, Donald Trump has posed as a cryptos champion. He creates a Bitcoin Strategic Reservesign of decrees to supervise the sector, and actively promote projects related to his family. A presidential initiative to regulate … while taking advantage?
“” Absolutely a conflict of interest “Says Ann Koppuzha, business law professor. Difficult to prove it wrong.
The administration claims that everything is supervised by an ethical lawyer. But let's be serious: when your name is on the token and you sign the laws that can boost the price, you need a hell of a toupet to say that everything is neutral.
The strategy behind the Trump seems to be cut to last. The unlock program extends over three years. The tokens will be released into several waves, hundreds of thousands a day at certain periods. This could maintain constant pressure on the course… Unless investors decide to flee en masse before the next wave.
In crypto, nothing is ever frozen. If the same has shown a surprising ability to be reborn, the $ Trump will have to convince beyond the presidential image this time. The next big question: how far can we politicize decentralized finance without losing all credibility?
