After receiving a considerable backlash in the market recently, US President Donald Trump’s meme coin found an unlikely ally: Ark Investment’s CEO Cathie Wood.

Crypto Traders Wrecked As Trump’s Tariffs Spark $2 Billion Liquidation

In an interview with Bloomberg, Cathie Wood boldly claimed that launching Trump’s meme coin is good for the industry and signals a paradigm shift. Wood claimed its launch was a “meme coin moment” and would help the crypto industry establish its claim as a legitimate digital asset.

She further compared Trump’s meme coin launch to the initial coin offerings (ICO) campaigns for 2017. During this period, thousands of crypto projects raised huge amounts, paving the way for creating popular projects like Chainlink, the EOS network, and Ethereum.

TRUMP Meme Coin: Relying On A ‘Meme-Only’ Utility

President Donald Trump surprised the broader crypto market by launching his official cryptocurrency on the Solana blockchain last January 17th. As expected, the TRUMP token surged immediately after listing and gained plenty of attention when Trump officially took office. Then, the token hit an all-time high of $77 days after its debut in the market.

However, the TRUMP token failed to sustain its impressive price surge and soon dropped massively. The token is currently trading at around $17, putting into question the asset’s use cases.

According to Cathie Wood, the only confirmed use case for this meme coin is its connection with the current US president.

Still A No-Buy For Cathie Wood

Interestingly, Wood issued a few statements about the Trump coin in January. Just days after the coin’s launch, Wood said the project lacked a real-world use case and that she’s staying away from meme coins.

Today, Wood sings a different tune and sees potential value for the TRUMP coin. In the same Bloomberg interview, she shared one rumor that holders will be allowed to meet President Trump. However, Wood’s statement remains unconfirmed and just pure speculation.

Wood, Ark Investment Focused On Top Cryptos

Although Wood appreciated the role of the TRUMP token in ushering in a new era for crypto, she insisted that she would not invest in meme coins. She added that her company has generally avoided meme coins for their lack of use cases.

Instead, Ark Investment is focused on the top cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin. In addition to Bitcoin, Wood is looking at Solana and Ethereum for their role in DeFi projects and smart contracts, which will have plenty of use cases in the future.

They say journalists never truly clock out. But for Christian, that's not just a metaphor, it's a lifestyle. By day, he navigates the ever-shifting tides of the cryptocurrency market, wielding words like a seasoned editor and crafting articles that decipher the jargon for the masses. When the PC goes on hibernate mode, however, his pursuits take a more mechanical (and sometimes philosophical) turn.

Read more

Christian's journey with the written word began long before the age of Bitcoin. In the hallowed halls of academia, he honed his craft as a feature writer for his college paper. This early love for storytelling paved the way for a successful stint as an editor at a data engineering firm, where his first-month essay win funded a months-long supply of doggie and kitty treats – a testament to his dedication to his furry companions (more on that later).

Christian then roamed the world of journalism, working at newspapers in Canada and even South Korea. He finally settled down at a local news giant in his hometown in the Philippines for a decade, becoming a total news junkie. But then, something new caught his eye: cryptocurrency. It was like a treasure hunt mixed with storytelling - right up his alley!

So, he landed a killer gig at NewsBTC, where he's one of the go-to guys for all things crypto. He breaks down this confusing stuff into bite-sized pieces, making it easy for anyone to understand (he salutes his management team for teaching him this skill).

Think Christian's all work and no play? Not a chance! When he's not at his computer, you'll find him indulging his passion for motorbikes. A true gearhead, Christian loves tinkering with his bike and savoring the joy of the open road on his 320-cc Yamaha R3. Once a speed demon who hit 120mph (a feat he vowed never to repeat), he now prefers leisurely rides along the coast, enjoying the wind in his thinning hair.

Speaking of chill, Christian's got a crew of furry friends waiting for him at home. Two cats and a dog. He swears cats are way smarter than dogs (sorry, Grizzly), but he adores them all anyway. Apparently, watching his pets just chillin’ helps him analyze and write meticulously formatted articles even better.

Here's the thing about this guy: He works a lot, but he keeps himself fueled by enough coffee to make it through the day - and some seriously delicious (Filipino) food. He says a delectable meal is the secret ingredient to a killer article. And after a long day of crypto crusading, he unwinds with some rum (mixed with milk) while watching slapstick movies.

Looking ahead, Christian sees a bright future with NewsBTC. He says he sees himself privileged to be part of an awesome organization, sharing his expertise and passion with a community he values, and fellow editors - and bosses - he deeply respects.

So, the next time you tread into the world of cryptocurrency, remember the man behind the words – the crypto crusader, the grease monkey, and the feline philosopher, all rolled into one.
