Donald Trump's Cryptocurrency Soars, Raising Regulatory Concerns
Donald Trump's newly launched meme coin, $TRUMP, experienced a surge in value, reaching a market capitalization of $9.2 billion with a 24-hour trading volume of $42.2 billion.
The coin's launch has garnered attention from the cryptocurrency community, with some expressing concerns about its ethical and regulatory implications. Experts point out that it blurs the lines between governance, profit, and influence.
The coin's value surge coincided with Trump's promise to be a "crypto president" and his expected issuance of executive orders to reduce regulatory hurdles in the cryptocurrency sector.
Trump's return to the White House has also fueled speculation of looser regulations, leading to a rally in the price of Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies.
