The Trump family-linked memecoins, $TRUMP and $MELANIA, have plummeted 92% and 99% from their all-time highs, respectively, resulting in over $4.3 billion in losses for retail holders, as reported by CryptoRank. Amidst this decline, insiders have extracted more than $600 million in fees and token sales, while $2.7 billion worth of tokens remain locked until 2028, reflecting the typical practice of reserving substantial team tokens with long lockup periods to mitigate early selling pressures. These political memecoins, tied to prominent figures like President Trump, often generate hype through endorsements, which paradoxically heightens the volatility risks for retail investors.
