$TRUMP Token Faces Price Correction

The cryptocurrency market experienced a surprise shake-up as $TRUMP, a meme coin linked to U.S. President-elect Donald Trump, briefly overtook Shiba Inu (SHIB) in market capitalization.

On the eve of Trump’s inauguration, $TRUMP reached a market cap of $13.83 billion, placing it 15th among top cryptocurrencies, while SHIB sat at 17th with $12.79 billion. The token, launched on January 18, quickly gained traction, becoming the fourth most-traded asset after Bitcoin, Ethereum, and USDT.

Shiba Inu’s Lead Developer Reacts

Shiba Inu’s lead developer, Shytoshi Kusama, acknowledged the milestone, congratulating Trump while calling the achievement “temporary.”

Kusama’s remark suggests two possibilities:

🔹 Confidence in SHIB’s future—Shiba Inu’s development team is actively working on upgrades that could boost its value.

🔹 Skepticism about meme coins—Many hype-driven tokens see short-lived success before declining.

$TRUMP Token Faces Price Correction

Despite its rapid rise, $TRUMP’s momentum didn’t last. The token has since faced a 29% price drop, falling to $34 within 24 hours.

However, with Trump’s pro-crypto stance and strong community backing, some believe the launch of his administration could spark renewed interest in $TRUMP.
