Traders are on the lookout for more Trump-branded memecoins after President Donald Trump’s eponymous token briefly broke $80 billion in fully-diluted value (FDV) within a day of launching on Jan. 18.&nbsp;
Spotting the next official Trump coin means sifting through dozens of fakes.&nbsp;
So far, only one other token, Official Melania (MELANIA) — referencing First Lady Melania Trump — has been endorsed by the Trump family. It hit an FDV of roughly $14 billion before retracing to less than $6 billion as of Jan. 20, <a data-ct-non-breakable="null" href="https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/melania-meme/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank" text="null" title="https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/melania-meme/">according</a> to CoinMarketCap.
Meanwhile, countless unofficial knockoffs bootstrapped market capitalizations in the hundreds of millions before crashing.&nbsp;One such token, deceptively dubbed Official Barron Meme (BARRON), hit highs of around $400 million before retracing more than 90%, <a data-ct-non-breakable="null" href="https://dexscreener.com/solana/bjfpiz79shxybx59ghz7p9r9dfqpksm4xzu46mnmshcz" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank" text="null" title="https://dexscreener.com/solana/bjfpiz79shxybx59ghz7p9r9dfqpksm4xzu46mnmshcz">according</a> to DEX Screener.

Trump’s advisory team launched the TRUMP memecoin on Jan. 18 and <a data-ct-non-breakable="null" href="https://cointelegraph.com/news/melania-trump-memecoin-launches-notches-4-b-market-cap" rel="null" target="null" text="null" title="null">MELANIA token</a> on Jan. 19 on the Solana network, ahead of <a data-ct-non-breakable="null" href="https://cointelegraph.com/news/ether-price-surpass-4000-trump-inauguration" rel="null" target="null" text="null" title="null">the president’s inauguration</a> on Jan. 20.
Traders initially questioned whether the launch was the result of a social media hack.

The launch of TRUMP had a profound impact on the Solana ecosystem. The token, which was built on Solana, has attracted traders’ attention for memecoin creation and significantly boosted its trading volumes.
