 <li><strong>Speculations around the announcement of the crypto platform, hinted at by Trump’s son, soar.&nbsp;</strong></li>

<p>Dismissing all scam rumors, Donald Trump Jr. clearly asserts the new crypto entrant, Restore the Republic (RTR), is “not a memecoin” linked to Trump or his family. After the revelation, the value of RTR crashed 95% from the first post-launch peak.&nbsp;</p>
<p>The ongoing US Presidential race and Donald Trump’s <a href="https://thenewscrypto.com/trump-advocates-us-crypto-development-to-compete-with-china/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">pro-crypto stance</a> have spurred the virality of PolitFi (Political Finance) memecoins in the crypto market. Especially, <a href="https://thenewscrypto.com/trump-based-memecoins-show-price-surges-amidst-bidens-bowing-out/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Trump-based memecoins</a> received maximum support from crypto traders and investors. Notably, a new memecoin Restore the Republic (RTR) launched on Solana on Thursday.&nbsp;</p>
<p>Following the token’s launch two days after Trump Jr.’s DeFi announcement hint, rumors spread that it could be the Trump family’s memecoin, while scam allegations against RTR also emerged.</p>

<p>Furthermore, two of Trump’s sons — Donald Trump Jr., and Eric Trump — have expressed their love for “Crypto/DeFi” lately. According to Trump Jr.’s statement, he vouches for introducing a long-term crypto project. He also warned the community saying, “beware of fake tokens claiming to be part of the Trump project.”</p>

<p>Four hours after the launch, RTR hit its first high at $0.1562. After the denial of RTR not being the official memecoin of Trump, RTR nosedived 95% to a low of $0.00672. On-chain analysis platform Lookonchain reported 5 “insider wallets” pulling up profits of over $4 million within 6 hours of this meme coin’s launch.&nbsp;<br><br>On the other hand, the platform also pointed out the loss of a meme whale that traded a huge sum of RTR tokens. As per data, when the token was priced high at $0.1562, the trader purchased 7.2 million RTR, nearly 1.12 million USD, using 5,687 SOL. Post the price plunge, the trader recorded a loss of over $898,500 worth of SOL.&nbsp;</p>
