Iran-related geopolitical tensions easing have pushed Bitcoin back toward the $70,000 mark, signaling an unexpected recovery across the crypto market. However, the official Trump (TRUMP) meme token on the Solana blockchain has dropped over 96% from its peak, drawing investor attention away. This sharp contrast highlights the shift toward major cryptocurrencies and the rapidly waning interest in speculative tokens.
TRUMP Token: The Meme Coin That Plummeted from Its Peak
Launched in January 2025, the TRUMP token quickly gained value amid social media hype. However, once the short-lived excitement faded, the token fell from its all-time high of $73.43 to around $2.90. This rapid decline exemplifies the volatility and community-driven price swings typical of meme coins. Investor capital shifting toward more established and reliable projects further accelerated the decline of such hype-driven assets.
Bitcoin Rally: Why Investors Are Buying Again
Bitcoin rose from $65,618 to $70,800, marking a 5% gain.
The reason behind Bitcoin’s rebound isn’t only geopolitical relief but also institutional accumulation. Blockchain data shows that major wallets (“whales”) accumulated around $19 billion worth of BTC (approximately 270,000 BTC) over the past month. Furthermore, the 85% correlation with the Nasdaq-100 index confirms that stock market recovery helped push Bitcoin upward. Reduced BTC outflows to exchanges also indicate that investors now prefer to hold rather than sell.
The total crypto market capitalization has returned to around $2.33 trillion. Ethereum gained 3–4% to $2,059, Solana rose 4–5% to $87, and XRP increased 4%. Bitcoin’s market dominance is approaching 56%, while whale accumulation and reduced exchange inflows highlight a growing long-term holding trend.
Lack of Interest in Meme Coins and TRUMP Token’s Decline
Since its January 2025 peak, TRUMP token has lost roughly 96% of its value and dropped more than 15% last week alone. Excitement and social media-driven attention explain the rapid ups and downs typical for meme coins. Analysts also link its poor performance to negative public perception of the figure associated with the brand.
WLFI Token: Volatility Continues Under the Same Brand
The World Liberty Financial (WLFI) token briefly dipped to $0.094 but recovered to around $0.10. Still, this price remains 69% below its all-time high. Like the TRUMP meme coin, this token under the same brand continues to experience fluctuations despite broader developments in the decentralized finance sector.
