🇺🇸 One in seven Americans (14%) have acquired Donald Trump's memecoin, $TRUMP, since its launch on Jan. 18. Despite waning appeal before Trump's inauguration, $TRUMP has garnered more interest than Melania Trump's memecoin, $MELANIA.
A survey of 1,092 Americans found that three times as many U.S. citizens bought $TRUMP compared to $MELANIA. The survey suggests Americans may prefer tokens with more media attention.
42% of those who bought either $TRUMP or $MELANIA are first-time crypto buyers, indicating these coins might be an entry point for newcomers to cryptocurrency.
On inauguration day, 86% of $MELANIA buyers were profitable, compared to 81% for $TRUMP buyers. However, the launch of these memecoins has sparked controversy, with critics accusing Trump of using his position to benefit his family and labeling memecoins as scams.
More than half (55%) of respondents believe Trump and his wife are manipulating the crypto market, and nearly 75% think the launch of $TRUMP harms the crypto market.

🚨 TRUMP memecoin: Exciting launch or regulatory minefield? 🇺🇸💰
@FinTax_Official dives into key concerns surrounding TRUMP, including whether it could be classified as a security under SEC rules. While the team says it's "not a security," its compliance with the Howey Test is still up for debate. 🤔
Adding to the mix are tax challenges. With 80% of TRUMP's supply held by the team and set to unlock over 3 years, token sales could trigger capital gains taxes—a logistical headache given TRUMP's price volatility. 📈💸
Could regulatory scrutiny and tax hurdles slow down TRUMP's momentum? Let us know what you think!

Ethereum Faces Competition as Lightchain AI Testnet Launches in 2 Weeks https://news.bitcoin.com/ethereum-faces-competition-as-lightchain-ai-testnet-launches-in-2-weeks/
On Donald Trump's first day as U.S. president, Melania Trump's memecoin, MELANIA, stole the spotlight with a stunning 40% gain to $13 before settling around $10.60. The memecoin’s trading volume skyrocketed from $1.33 billion to $6.6 billion.
In contrast, Trump's own memecoin, TRUMP, fell over 17%. However, it still ranked among the top 20 crypto assets with a market cap of $11.1 billion.
The launch of these memecoins has sparked controversy, even among Trump's supporters, with calls for accountability regarding Melania's token. Some critics accuse him of using his presidency for personal gain.
Zack Guzmán speculated that the timing of these launches might be a strategy to shield against potential impeachment. He warned that this trend could lead celebrities to jump on the crypto bandwagon, reinforcing the idea that crypto is a frivolous space.
