Crypto Whale Profits From TRUMP Memecoin

On Sunday, on-chain tracking platform Lookonchain reported that a crypto whale had made millions from a Trump-inspired memecoin. An address deposited all their TRUMP holdings to the crypto exchange BTSE.

Per the report, the whale bought 1.08 million TRUMP between November 22 and December 4, 2023. The address acquired the tokens at an average price of $0.5, spending $540,000 for the memecoin. Seemingly, the whale made $8.85 million from the tokens, $8.3 million of which were profits.

Per Lookonchain, the wallet was suspected to be owned by renowned crypto trader GCR. However, it was later confirmed the address in question wasn’t related to the crypto trader.

Lookonchain also reported another address holding a significant amount of the Trump-inspired memecoin. The second address, also suspected to be linked to the crypto trader, has $6.5 million in unrealized profits from TRUMP.

The whale wallet tagged “GCR: Address 1” spent over $700,000 to buy 936,279 TRUMP. The address bought the tokens at an average of $0.75 between December 8, 2023, and January 18, 2024.

At the time of the report, the whale’s holdings were worth around $7.23 million. Nonetheless, it hasn’t been confirmed if this address is linked to the renowned crypto trader.

PolitiFi And Trump-Inspired Tokens Soar

Over the weekend, former US President Donald Trump survived an assassination attempt. The Republican Presidential Candidate got shot in the ear during a campaign rally in Butner, Pennsylvania.

Following the news, PolitiFi tokens soared over 30%. DeFi creator and analyst Jake Pahor shared that the PolitiFi sector outperformed most categories over the weekend.

Pahor cited DeFiLlama data, revealing that PolitiFi tokens rose 36.7% last week. The DeFi analyst also noted that “all categories outperformed Bitcoin over the past 7 days, possibly indicating a shift towards a risk-on environment.”

Before the failed Trump assassination attempt, Trump-inspired memecoins saw a pump. The tokens surged after the former US President was announced as a keynote speaker at the Bitcoin 2024 Conference on July 27.

TRUMP’s price went from $5.74 to $6.54 after the news. This performance represented a 15% and 39.5% surge in the daily and weekly timeframes. Since then, the biggest Trump-themed memecoin has seen a 35% rise, fueled by the most recent incident.

Following the assassination attempt, the token went from the $6.3 price range to the $9.51 mark, increasing by over 50% in twelve hours. On Sunday, the memecoin hovered between the $7.3-$7.9 price range, starting the week trading at $7.47.

Rubmar Garcia

Rubmar is a writer and translator who has been a crypto enthusiast for the past four years. Her goal as a writer is to create informative, complete, and easily understandable pieces accessible to those entering the crypto space. After learning about cryptocurrencies in 2019, Rubmar became curious about the world of possibilities the industry offered, quickly learning that financial freedom was at the palm of her hand with the developing technology.

From a young age, Rubmar was curious about how languages work, finding special interest in wordplay and the peculiarities of dialects. Her curiosity grew as she became an avid reader in her teenage years. She explored freedom and new words through her favorite books, which shaped her view of the world. Rubmar acquired the necessary skills for in-depth research and analytical thinking at university, where she studied Literature and Linguistics. Her studies have given her a sharp perspective on several topics and allowed her to turn every stone in her investigations.

In 2019, she first dipped her toes in the crypto industry when a friend introduced her to Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies, but it wasn’t until 2020 that she started to dive into the depth of the industry. As Rubmar began to understand the mechanics of the crypto sphere, she saw a new world yet to be explored.

At the beginning of her crypto voyage, she discovered a new system that allowed her to have control over her finances. As a young adult of the 21st century, Rubmar has faced the challenges of the traditional banking system and the restrictions of fiat money.

After the failure of her home country’s economy, the limitations of traditional finances became clear. The bureaucratic, outdated structure made her feel hopeless and powerless amid an aggressive and distorted system created by hyperinflation. However, learning about decentralization and self-custody opened a realm of opportunities. Cryptocurrencies allowed her to experience financial control for the first time and expand her financial education.

Moreover, the peculiar nature of the crypto community sparked Rubmar’s curiosity about the other layers of the industry. As a result, she found a particular interest in discovering the diverse perspectives of investors, market watchers, experts, and developers. Her attempts to better understand the crypto space made her realize the strong links of the community with other industries, enriching her perspective of the sector. As someone who spends most of her day online, Rubmar enjoys finding the points where the crypto world meets with her other passions and hobbies ­–or her favorite memes.

In her free time, she usually finds joy in different art forms. As a child, she enlisted in every extra-curricular activity in her hometown, including music classes, dancing, jewelry making, and the local chorus. Despite her many attempts to learn different instruments, Rubmar only knows how to play the xylophone, which she played for 7 years in her school’s marching band.

She also has a passion for learning new languages and cultures, having set the goal to learn another six languages ­– currently attempting to learn Italian and Korean. Scrapbooking, paper crafting, and bookbinding are her biggest interests outside of work, constantly taking classes and attending workshops to learn new techniques. The rest of her free time is spent stressing over football matches and transfer market news or feeding cats –hers or stray.

In summary, Rubmar seeks to present entertaining and educational pieces to be enjoyed by everybody, aiming to report on the latest news and offer a unique perspective while adding a meme or a pun whenever possible.
