Trump‘s Memecoin $TRUMP Unlocks $311 Million – What’s Next for the Token？

As part of the unlock, 40 million tokens were released today—representing 20% of the total circulating supply. The unlocks current price is roughly $311 million, which is part of the reason why market observers are wondering about the price and liquidity of the token over the next few days.

Though the direct response has so far been even-keeled, the situation with $TRUMP continues to change. Todays unlock is just one part of a complex larger strategy involving not just $TRUMP but also the whole ecosystem being built around it. Despite this being the largest single release so far—something like 600,000 tokens—the price of $TRUMP is down only 5% at midday.

Daily Unlocks and the Pressure on $TRUMP

The token unlock that occurred recently has shed light on the $TRUMP tokens daily operations. Along with 40 million tokens that were available for use today, we have learned that there are daily releases of 493,150 $TRUMP tokens — a number worth around $3.79 million if you take the current market price as gospel. We are led to understand that the price of $TRUMP could be negatively affected in the near term by this ongoing supply pressure, as the S&P 493,000 Club keeps getting more members (i.e., as S&P 493,000 Club members keep getting $3.79 million worth of $TRUMP tokens daily). But the market is handling this relatively well without any signs of instability.

Now stands at just under 200 million tokens (199,999,976.64 to be exact), the total circulating supply of $TRUMP means that the token faces continuous selling pressure unless demand increases significantly. Coupled with daily unlocks, this sizable supply necessitates that price appreciation be characterized by increases in demand rather than decreases in supply.

Interestingly, even though a considerable number of tokens were unlocked today, the price fell by only about 5%. This suggests that demand for $TRUMP is likely still strong enough to soak up all those new tokens.

Now, normally, when a large quantity of tokens is released, it‘s a sell signal for memecoins, like, say, $TRUMP. Yet despite market conditions that would typically send a memecoin’s price tumbling, the price of $TRUMP remains surprisingly stable.

A Memecoin with a Real World Tie: Trump Plans a Dinner for Holders

The $TRUMP token is not only associated with the political figure of Donald Trump, but it is also tied to interesting real-world incentives. An event is being planned—at least, thats the word circulating—for $TRUMP token holders. A recent price surge has been attributed to this expected announcement. Prices were up nearly 12% today, as excitement around the project has evidently been ramped up. The team behind the project seems to be in the process of making a dedicated webpage for the event, though it remains unclear what kind of event (if any) is actually in the pipeline.

A dinner might be an effective marketing strategy for the Trump token, aimed at building a loyal community of holders. It could also at least temporarily rev up interest in the token. By associating a real-world event with the digital currency, Trump and team are making a personal appeal that might resonate with potential investors. Memecoins often live or die by the strength of the communities around them and the viral nature of events associated with them. A dinner for holders of the Trump token, then, could be a way to pump up the price of that token.

At present, the token‘s market cap is elevated and resting at $1.69 billion. This mix of online and offline engagement is about as unique as it gets and could help keep $TRUMP in the public’s eye. The token unlock was a test of sorts for the market and for $TRUMP, and every indication was that the test had been passed.

The Future of $TRUMP: A Balancing Act of Supply and Demand

The future of $TRUMP depends on its ability to hold the line between two forces: ever-present supply pressure from daily unlocks and demand thats generated by the community and real-world incentives. Sure, a dinner for token holders is something that could create some buzz and stir some interest in the project. But I think the long-term survival of $TRUMP is far more contingent on the absorption capacity of the wider market for the daily influx of new tokens.

One factor to watch is how the market reacts as the daily unlocks continue. If the demand for $TRUMP continues to rise, the token might be able to hold its value or even appreciate over time despite the steady stream of new tokens. However, if demand fails to keep pace with the daily releases, the token could experience downward pressure in the coming months.

Currently, the attention of investors seems to be squarely on $TRUMP, and with a market cap of $1.69 billion, it‘s obvious that the project has, at the very least, booked some time on the crypto runway. Whether its price will keep climbing, or even stay at this level, is anybody’s guess. But with daily token releases and a few upcoming, potentially headline-making events (like Trump dining with some select guests), $TRUMP will remain a topic of conversation in the crypto space.
