Google search trends for “buy crypto” and “buy Solana” have soared following the launch of the Official Trump (TRUMP) memecoin. According to Google Trends, both terms hit the highest score of 100 in search volume, indicating widespread interest. Similarly, searches for “Coinbase” and “crypto app” also surged, reflecting increased engagement from users beyond the crypto community.
The TRUMP memecoin, introduced by President-elect Donald Trump, initially faced skepticism. Many traders questioned its legitimacy due to similar knock-off tokens in the market. Trump addressed the launch in a post on X, stating, “My NEW Official Trump Meme is HERE! It is time to celebrate everything we stand for: WINNING! Join my very special Trump Community. GET YOUR TRUMP NOW.” Following confirmation from the Trump team about its authenticity, the token saw a meteoric price rally.
Data from CoinMarketCap reveals the memecoin’s fully diluted value at approximately $12.4 billion, with each token priced at around $62.3 at the time of reporting. The token has a maximum supply of 1 billion, with 200 million currently in circulation.
The launch of TRUMP has also positively impacted Solana’s native token, SOL, which reached an all-time high of $270. Analysts have pointed to the memecoin frenzy as the driving force behind Solana’s price surge. Crypto influencers and analysts have called the TRUMP memecoin launch a pivotal development for capital formation within the cryptocurrency space.
Arthur Hayes, co-founder of BitMEX, anticipates a fully diluted value of $100 billion for the TRUMP token by the time of Trump’s inauguration on Monday. Hayes suggested that memecoins could introduce new dimensions of political accountability through blockchain technology and announced plans to publish an essay exploring the topic.
While some industry participants remain skeptical, the launch has brought renewed attention to the crypto market, drawing non-crypto users into the ecosystem. The unprecedented rise in TRUMP’s value and its rapid adoption highlight its influence within the market.
The memecoin’s launch has sparked discussions about cryptocurrency’s role in political and financial systems, with its impact extending beyond speculative trading. The buzz surrounding TRUMP has elevated interest in crypto platforms and assets, marking a significant moment in the cryptocurrency world.
