As U.S. lawmakers gear up for a critical week of crypto legislation, the TRUMP memecoin is drawing renewed attention—not just for its political branding, but for a $900 million token unlock now underway.
Roughly 90 million TRUMP tokens, representing a 45% increase in circulating supply, are becoming tradeable this week.
The token, originally launched in January to coincide with Donald Trump’s campaign momentum, had previously capped its supply at 200 million. According to the project, a total of 1 billion tokens will be unlocked gradually over a three-year period.
The timing of the release comes as House Republicans attempt to revive three stalled crypto bills—targeting stablecoin regulation, banning CBDC development, and defining crypto market structure.
After a failed procedural vote, Trump claimed he personally lobbied GOP holdouts to flip their stance ahead of Wednesday’s session.
Meanwhile, market data from Nansen.ai shows TRUMP briefly spiked from $9.40 to $10.31 before stabilizing just above $10—mirroring rising political tension and trader speculation.
