ANALYSIS: Mapping Donald Trump’s growing crypto empire

Donald Trump, the president of the United States and convicted felon, has embraced crypto. He’s expanded his personal business ventures into the industry and has found ways to embrace it from the Oval Office, issuing executive orders and promising legislation. Protos has tried to summarize the various connections between the cryptocurrency industry and the president’s family.  This raft of projects shows the willingness of the Trump family to cash in on their name. World Liberty Financial World Liberty Financial purports to be a DeFi-focused firm that has launched a stablecoin and maintains a portfolio of tokens.  The project named Donald Trump Sr. as its “chief crypto advocate” and his three sons as its “Web3 ambassadors.” Donald Trump Jr. and Eric Trump, two of the aforementioned sons, were previously implicated in an investigation of the Trump Organization that resulted in the brothers receiving a ban from serving as ...

Retail Traders Embracing ‘Gamble’ Mindset As Memecoin Discussions Hit Highest Level This Year, Warns Santiment

Image
The gambling mentality is becoming the dominant mindset among crypto traders amid a surge in memecoin discussions, according to analytics firm Santiment. In a new report, Santiment says that memecoin mindshare is making a comeback despite the recent high-profile collapses of several assets in the sector. Santiment says that the rise in memecoin-centered discussions on social media suggests an increase in speculation and short-term investing mentality. “Memecoins, in particular, are once again gaining considerable attention. Online discussions about these high-risk tokens have proliferated as traders embrace a ‘gamble’ mindset, rather than a calculated investment approach. Notice how social volume has been creeping up for top market cap meme coins, and declining for layer-1s and layer-2s. This is a telltale sign that traders are increasingly investing based solely on speculation and short-term gains.” Source: Santiment Santiment says that...

‘Hot Air Rises’: Crypto Trader Says Solana-Based Memecoin That’s Up 220%+ in a Month Primed To Go Much Higher

Image
A closely followed crypto analyst believes one Solana (SOL)-based meme token is gearing up for further swings to the upside. Pseudonymous trader Altcoin Sherpa tells his 244,000 followers on the social media platform X that artificial intelligence (AI)-based Fartcoin (FARTCOIN) will likely break through the $1 resistance level after putting up massive gains in the past month. However, he says the meme asset may first return to the .382 Fibonacci retracement level at $0.70. Fibonacci retracement levels are used in technical Analysis for determining an asset’s support and resistance levels. “Don’t have much of an opinion on Fartcoin at current level; would probably wait to buy on a break of $1 or at $0.70. Still think this one goes much higher later but not sure in the short term. Regardless, hot air rises and this is the meme of the cycle in my opinion.” Source: Altcoin Sherpa/X Fartcoin is trading for $0.871 at time of writing, up 220% ...

President Trump’s Memecoin Braces for $341,000,000 Token Unlock After Three-Month Downtrend

Image
President Trump’s official memecoin (TRUMP) is about to go through a massive token unlock worth about $341 million. According to crypto tokenomics data aggregator Tokenomist, 40 million TRUMP tokens will be unlocked on the open market on April 18th. With 199 million TRUMP tokens currently in circulation, the unlock represents about 20% of the memecoin’s circulating supply. TRUMP currently has a market cap of $1.69 billion and a fully diluted valuation (FDV) of $8.48 billion. Token unlocks are often considered bearish for crypto assets, given that new supply will soon be available and sell pressure may be higher. Like most digital assets, TRUMP suffered recently following the escalation of the president’s trade war, starting when he signed an executive order that slapped tariffs on all imported goods entering the US with the stated goal of protecting domestic manufacturing. Despite the unlock, cryptocurrency trader and analyst Ali Martinez is l...

Crypto trader goes from a $270K loss up to a $6M profit in less than a day

Image
The cryptocurrency market is famous (or infamous) for its volatility, which can be very rewarding (or punitive) in trading activities. A crypto trader, for example, had a taste of both of the two worlds, going from $270,000 of unrealized losses up to a $4.5 million in unrealized gains – all within a day. This impressive comeback story was first reported by Lookonchain, in a post on X on January 23. The trade was with VINE, a recently launched Solana-based memecoin on pumpdotfun . On that note, pumpdotfun is a platform that became known in Solana (SOL) for hosting thousands of memecoin rug pulls. How the crypto trader turned $270,000 losses into $6 million gains in a day As reported, the trader first turned 20 SOL into 23 SOL with a quick trade of 1 million VINE. Right after selling it, however, VINE surged, causing the trader to ‘FOMO’ back in, buying far more at higher prices. Picks for you ...

TRUMP favored on Chinese crypto exchanges in early trading

China gave a curiously generous amount of support to US President Donald Trump’s largest crypto project, TRUMP. In the critical hours of its weekend debut, Chinese traders and Chinese-founded exchanges led trading activity in the memecoin. Around 9pm New York time on Saturday, January 18, Trump launched TRUMP on Solana’s blockchain via Moonshot, a fiat onramp and wallet provider. His website accepted both crypto and fiat denominations, including credit and debit cards. Debuting on non-custodial exchanges like Jupiter and Raydium, the token rallied from below $1 to over $75 overnight — imputing a $75 billion fully diluted valuation on its maximum supply of 1 billion tokens. Due to the prominence of what had quickly become the world’s second-largest memecoin — ranking by Sunday morning beneath only Dogecoin (DOGE) itself — centralized exchanges scrambled to list it. China led the charge. Chinese crypto exchanges lead TRUMP listings Although TRUM...

Henrik Zeberg tells his 166,100 followers on the social media platform X that dogwifhat (WIF) may increase in the near-term by more than 337% from its current value.

WIF seems to have concluded wave two and is now setting up for monster move. Next level in few weeks time around $12-$13!” Source: Henrik Zeberg/X In September, the analyst said WIF may soar to as high as $79.26 this cycle after breaking out of a key level. According to Elliott Wave principles, an ABCDE triangle indicates consolidation in an uptrend market could spark a strong rally once it is completed. “WIF: are you onboard? ...
