Trump revealed that her legal team is actively reviewing the situation and plans to take action to prevent the ongoing unauthorized use of her name.
In addition to $IVANKA, a wave of unofficial knockoff tokens has garnered substantial attention, creating confusion within the cryptocurrency community regarding their legitimacy. This followed the launch of the official $MELANIA and $TRUMP tokens, further complicating the landscape.
On January 17, President Donald Trump announced the launch of “Official Trump,” a meme-inspired cryptocurrency operating on the Solana blockchain. Shortly after, on January 19, Melania Trump unveiled her own token, “Melania Meme,” also built on the Solana network.
Despite the tΠΎken’s confirmed legitimacy and growing popularity, former President Donald Trump seemΠ΅d unfamiliar with its details.
“I don’t know much about it other than I launched it,” President Trump said during a meeting with tech executives. “I heard it was very successful. I haven’t checked,” he added.
The meme coin experienced a surge to a 24-hour peak of $48.18 but saw a swift decline of 16%, dropping to $40.29 shortly after President Trump’s remarks.
On X, Eric Trump, son of President Donald Trump, addressed rumors about a potΠ΅ntial “USA Coin,” denying any plans for it to become the next meme coin project linked to the Trump family.
