Trump/MAGA Coins Drop Despite Trump’s Pledge to End ‘Anti-Crypto Crusade’
Meme coins related to the previous US president and current candidate, standing opposite Kamala Harris, Donald Trump, have seen drops in their prices over the past day.
As we see below, the TRUMPIE coin is green, having increased nearly 6%, while most coins have fallen between 1% and 8%.

Currently trading at $5.6, it is down 3% over the past 24 hours, 18% in a week, and 32% in two weeks.
Overall, it decreased 22.4% in the past year.
MAGA all-time price chart:
Source: coingecko.comThe coin is up 49,719% from its all-time low. It hit its all-time high of $17.51 two months ago and is down 68% since.
Meanwhile, these drops have continued despite Trump’s purported support for crypto during the Bitcoin 2024 Nashville conference.
He said he’d present his plan “to ensure that the United States will be the crypto capital of the planet and the Bitcoin superpower of the world and we’ll get it done.”
“I pledge to the Bitcoin community that the day I take the oath of office, Joe Biden and Kamala Harris’s anti-crypto crusade will be over,” he stated.
Death of Solana Celebrity Meme Coins
Though a meme coin resurrection would not be surprising, quite a few have recorded massive falls over the previous month, reaching a death point.
This is particularly the case for the celebrity-related coins launched on the Solana blockchain, which had previously seen an explosion in the crypto space, albeit a brief one.
These celebrities include Doja Cat, Iggy Azalea, Soulja Boy, 50 Cent, Davido, Waka Flocka, Floyd Mayweather, Hulk Hogan, Lil Reese, etc.
Twitter user Slorg, from the Jupiter exchange, claimed that “every single coin is down from their all-time high with an average decrease of 94%.”
This has occurred within a single month.
The market-caps don’t fare much better:
22 of the 30 have under a $1 million market-cap at the time of writing.
The remaining 8 are listed below: pic.twitter.com/c1pGXKTznz

Slug noted some of the tokens on the list remain ‘active’ but in the sense that somebody’s tweeting about them “regularly.”
“With only 40% tweeting about the token at least once in the last week, most have followed the same trajectory of an initial pump, and then nothing,” Slug wrote. “Only a handful are still earnestly trying to varying degrees of success.”
The thread went on to imply that some of these may be “blatant pump and dumps.”

For the same coins highlighted by Slorg, Bubblemaps argued that insiders owned between 20% (MOTHER) and 90% (PRESI) of supplies.
we checked how much of the supply was sniped by insiders in those celebrity coins
supply control is bullish https://t.co/TtPPnWN0mI pic.twitter.com/Csr8SJGw86
