Speculative meme coin funds will test the Securities and Exchange Commission’s boundaries under President Trump.

The launch of the Trump token, which hit a $15 billion valuation, rides the trend and raises questions. Axios reporter Brady Dale explains what a meme coin is and what owners can actually do with them.

The launch of $TRUMP and $MELANIA crypto coins has disappointed some in the crypto industry, who fear they amplify the sector’s sillier and scammier side.

President Donald Trump’s goodwill in the cryptocurrency industry has taken a hit after he and his wife launched meme coins — a move critics say looks like an unseemly cash grab that undermines an effort to legitimize digital assets.

President Donald Trump and First Lady Melania Trump both launched meme coins on Monday, but experts say they may not be reliable investments.

Donald Trump’s launch of his meme coin — coupled with low public understanding of crypto assets — could lead to financial losses from risky and speculative investments.

Donald Trump’s namesake memecoin has likely generated at least $11.4 million in fees for entities linked to the president since its launch just before his second inauguration, according to an analysis by the crypto risk modeling firm Gauntlet.
