Sometimes, reality is stranger than fiction. The cryptocurrency space has reached new heights of memecoin mania, with a wallet linked to former President Donald Trump receiving over $16 million worth of a new memecoin called Trump Frog (TROG).
According to Arkham Intelligence, Trump’s wallet has surged to $28 million, more than doubling in just a few days. This increase is largely due to an airdrop of 210 billion TROG, initially valued at $12 million but now worth $16 million as trading activity intensifies. DEXscreener reports a $32 million market cap for TROG.
Despite his prior skepticism toward the crypto industry, it is unlikely that Trump is aware of his TROG holdings. The wallet is controlled by an individual using the handle loveischieftrollofficer.eth, who also holds 469 ETH (approximately $1.8 million), according to Etherscan.
This substantial figure linked to Trump highlights the fervor in the memecoin market. In an election year with heightened activity on platforms like Polymarket, the impact of these movements remains to be seen.
