The launch of memecoin introduced by U.S. President Donald Trump on January 18, sparked a market frenzy. Within 48 hours, its fully diluted valuation (FDV) skyrocketed to $82 billion, reflecting a 450x surge from its initial price of $0.1824 to a peak of $74.71. However, the market was far from a retail investor’s paradise, with a large whale dominating the scene.  

Nearly 40% of Whales Bought TRUMP Coin Below $15

A great portion of whales managed to secure memecoins at remarkably low prices:

• 38.8% had an initial buy-in price below $15.
• The most common early buy-in price was $3.1, occurring within the first minutes post-launch.
• Another 28%acquired their holdings between $45 and $65.

The price distribution shows how early, well-capitalized investors leveraged speed and deep pockets to gain a major foothold in the token’s trajectory.  Unlike traditional memecoins, TRUMP’s explosive rise favored high-net-worth traders. While retail investors were drawn in by the hype, whales with substantial capital dictated the market’s movements. As prices corrected to $30 on January 20, a 60% drop from its peak, the volatile nature of this token became evident. 

Will TRUMP Memecoin Cross the $100 Mark?

According to Solana Explorer, the total supply of TRUMP memecoin is 999,999,993.45. For the memecoin to reach $100 per coin with a total supply, the market capitalization would need to be around $100 billion. 

However, its token distribution raises many questions. With 80% of the token supply controlled by Trump-affiliated entities, including CIC Digital LLC and Fight Fight Fight LLC. The offering deviates markedly from standard cryptocurrency practices, where issuers typically retain 10-20%. This level of concentration allows the creator to potential price manipulation, which also contradicts the decentralized ethos of blockchain.

Despite this fact, some crypto analysts suggest that the value of a single OFFICIALTRUMP coin price could reach a maximum of $139 with a potential low of $46 by 2026.
