The Melania meme coin is now trading hands at $11.41. The token was first launched on Jan. 20, 2025, a day after President-elect Donald Trump launched his own cryptocurrency, TRUMP (<a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://crypto.news/price/official-trump/">TRUMP</a>). According to the official <a href="https://melaniameme.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">website</a> for MELANIA, the token is based on the <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://crypto.news/tag/solana/">Solana</a> blockchain and can be bought using a card or with cryptocurrency.
As previously <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://crypto.news/trump-token-crashes-by-55-after-melania-trumps-meme-coin-launch/">reported</a> by crypto.news, TRUMP’s market cap fell by 55% shortly after MELANIA was launched. Despite this drop, the Trump token is still looming large with a market cap of over $11.7 billion, having gained a listing on HashKey Global on Jan. 19.
Though it did experience massive selling pressure after MELANIA’s launch, with sell orders outweighing buy orders by more than $100 million one hour after the launch of MELANIA. TRUMP is currently valued at $59.32 after a slight decrease of around 5% in the past hour.
