President-elect Donald Trump and his wife, Melania Trump, launched their respective cryptocurrency meme coins just days ahead of Trump’s inauguration for a second presidential term.

“It’s time to celebrate everything we stand for: WINNING! Join my very special Trump Community,” the president-elect stated on Truth Social on Jan. 17 while unveiling his $TRUMP meme coin.
