<h4>Crypto apps are having a moment, and President Donald Trump’s memecoin drives the hype. As of January 22, they dominated the finance category on Apple’s US App Store. Crypto.com, Moonshot, and Coinbase are leading the pack. Let’s break it down.</h4> 
But what’s behind this surge, and why are these crypto apps so popular? 
<h5>Trump’s Memecoin</h5> 
The excitement began on January 18, when Trump’s official memecoin, <a href="https://www.altcoinbuzz.io/?s=trump+memecoin" target="_blank" rel="noopener">$TRUMP</a>, launched. Within hours, its market cap soared past $9 billion, peaking at $14.5 billion before settling around $8.3 billion. Adding to the hype, First Lady Melania Trump <a href="https://www.altcoinbuzz.io/cryptocurrency-news/melania-trumps-memecoin-launch-crashes-trump/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">introduced</a> her memecoin, which hit a $6 billion valuation in two hours.

This memecoin hype didn’t only boost the tokens. It also caused a massive spike in interest in crypto apps. <a href="https://www.altcoinbuzz.io/?s=Moonshot" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Moonshot</a>, an app allowing users to buy memecoins using Apple Pay, skyrocketed from the 309th spot on the finance category rankings to number one. Similarly, <a href="https://www.altcoinbuzz.io/?s=DEX+Screener" target="_blank" rel="noopener">DEX Screener</a>, a platform to track token prices, climbed from the 102nd spot to the 21st by January 20. 
<h5>Why Are Crypto Apps Winning?</h5> 
Crypto apps such as these simplify the process of buying, trading, and keeping tabs on digital assets for regular people. Many new investors choose to use Coinbase and Moonshot because these platforms make it easy to join the memecoin market. 
Yat Siu of Animoca Brands stated that $TRUMP can offer more than temporary popularity. He utilizes $TRUMP tokens to determine public sentiment about Trump’s presidency, using them like a digital indicator. Siu believes memecoins can be tools for positive change by launching philanthropic initiatives following their initial popularity.

<h5>A New Era for Crypto Apps</h5> 
The popularity of these apps continues to grow because investors use these platforms for financial solutions. The success of Crypto.com, <a href="https://www.altcoinbuzz.io/?s=binance" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Binance</a>, and Kraken shows that digital assets gain acceptance from more users. Trump’s memecoin proves that digital financial platforms now drive the market.
