SEC’s Historic Shift: A New Era of Crypto Regulation and the Rise of Political Memecoins

On January 20, 2025, the resignation of U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) Chairman Gary Gensler was followed by the announcement of the creation of a cryptocurrency-focused task force led by Hester Peirce. A steadfast supporter of the crypto community, Hester Peirce made it clear that what the crypto industry needs is clear regulation and transparent rules, not excessive intervention. Against this backdrop, this development helped politically-themed memecoins $TRUMP and $MELANIA gain more visibility in the market.

$TRUMP, the official Memecoin launched just ahead of Donald Trump’s 2025 inauguration, is built on the Solana blockchain. The token not only symbolizes Trump’s supporters but also represents the intersection of politics and cryptocurrency. Within just 48 hours, $TRUMP’s market cap briefly exceeded $10 billion. Though it has since been corrected, it remains one of the top three Memes globally, surpassing $Pepe. Currently priced at 42.205, it has seen a staggering 800% increase from its lowest price (within less than four days). Recently, U.S. asset management firm Rex Shares filed for an ETF based on $TRUMP, highlighting the growing interest from traditional investors in the crypto market.

Meanwhile, Melania Trump also launched her own Memecoin, $MELANIA. This token capitalizes on the influence of the Trump family to attract supporters of the former president, while tapping into the broader trend of political cryptocurrency. The launch of $MELANIA caused a stir in the market, attracting over $2 billion in investments within 24 hours and sending its price soaring to over $10. Built on the Solana blockchain, $MELANIA also contributed to increased transaction volume and attention on the Solana network (current price: $257.45, market cap: $125.3 billion).

The launch of $TRUMP and $MELANIA Memecoins represents not only a commercialization attempt by political figures but also a snapshot of a broader societal phenomenon. The brand effect of Donald Trump and Melania Trump has undoubtedly brought substantial attention and capital inflows to these Memecoins. As the popularity of these tokens rises, so does the spread of fraudulent activities, becoming an increasing risk in the market. Leading up to and following President Trump’s inauguration, counterfeit Trump and Melania tokens, along with fake websites themed around $TRUMP and $MELANIA, flooded the market. Many malicious actors exploited these fake tokens, stealing $4.8 million from 12,641 wallets within just 24 hours.
