Okay, so let’s talk TRUMP. No, not the guy—I mean the meme coin that’s been doing its own wild dance this weekend. Like, it decided to party while everyone else was napping. It’s kind of like when you find that one person at a party who’s just going crazy on the dance floor, while the rest are quietly sipping their drinks in the corner. On Saturday, this thing jumped more than 8%. I mean, what the heck, right?
So, here’s the scoop. The folks behind this meme coin decided to let the dogs out, sort of. They unlocked 40 million tokens last Friday—April 18th, mark the calendar. That’s like $310 million just walking around, waiting for someone to pick it up. Now, usually, when you hear “Hey, a bunch of tokens are getting unlocked!” you think, yeah, that’s bad news, like “oh no, the market’s gonna crash”. But hang on. These 40 million tokens? They only scratch 4% of what’s out there. Just a scratch, really, but a big ol’ chunk—16% chunk—of what’s actually being passed around right now. You still with me?
Now, let’s rewind a bit, ’cause a few weeks back, TRUMP wasn’t feeling too hot. Nose-dived from its glorious high of $71. Yeesh. Imagine that—down a whopping 90%. But before this token release shindig, TRUMP hung out around $7.54, chilling somewhere between $7.46 and $7.83, like a cat balancing on a fence, not sure whether to jump or stay put. An entire ocean of downward vibes loomed over it, like a rain cloud, because that much supply hitting the market isn’t supposed to be a good thing. Yet, surprise, surprise, the TRUMP token didn’t faceplant.
Fast forward to Saturday, and BAM! Out of nowhere, this thing decided to flip the script. Pulled itself up over 8% and flopped itself right onto the $8 mark—actually, $8.60 at its jazziest point in the day. You know when you zig when everyone thinks you’ll zag? Exactly that. Meanwhile, everyone’s probably scratching their heads, wondering if they missed the memo on something epic.
And, hear this. Way back in January 2025, right before Trump stepped back into his presidential shoes, this coin was tossed into the wild. The launch didn’t exactly get five-star Yelp reviews, especially since, well, it was linked to President Trump himself. You know how it goes, right? Controversy loves company. But with this April 18 unlock, we’re seeing the start of a whole set of cliff notes coming our way. Buckle up, ’cause there’s more to come.
By the way, today TRUMP’s hanging at around $8.33, a respectable 8.6% hop in 24 hours, but let’s not sugarcoat it: it’s still 1.5% down from last week. It’s like getting a pat on the back while knowing you still gotta get your act together. You see the chart? Yeah, yeah, it’s all data-ish and stuff, but those aren’t the real stories. Numbers only tell you half the truth.
