TRUMP Memcoin to Appear on Tron Network: What We Know About It

The digital coin initially appeared on the Solana network and was presented on January 18, shortly before Trump's inauguration. In total, up to 1 billion tokens have been issued, of which about a fifth are in circulation.
As of July 7, TRUMP's capitalization is estimated at $1.7 billion, while the cost of one coin is around $8.6 — almost 90% lower than the maximum recorded on January 19, when the token cost about $75. Information about the project's transfer to Tron had almost no effect on the market price: in a day, the price rose by only 0.1%.
Tron founder Justin Sun does not hide his support for Donald Trump, calling himself his devoted fan and one of the largest TRUMP holders. The president's son Eric Trump also expressed his sympathy for Tron and personally for Sun, whom he described as a friend and a significant figure in the crypto industry.
Interestingly, in March, Forbes wrote about Sun as the "savior" of the World Liberty Financial crypto project, which is also associated with the Trump family. A few years ago, American regulators suspected Sun of fraud, but after Trump returned to the White House in November 2024, all charges were dropped.
In May, Donald Trump invited the largest TRUMP investors to dinner. Justin Sun was also present at the meeting, who gave a speech after the president's speech. Sun later published a video from the event and said that he received an exclusive Trump Golden Tourbillon watch from Trump as a gift.
As for the main coin of the Tron network, TRX, it also did not show a sharp increase after the announcement. Over the past day, its rate has increased by only 0.6% and is approximately $0.28, which is one third lower than the historical maximum of $0.44 set on December 4, 2024. Then TRX updated the record after the news that Sun invested $30 million in World Liberty Financial, becoming the largest investor in the project.
Thus, the TRUMP memecoin continues to develop, strengthening ties with Tron and its founder, despite market fluctuations. Investors are closely monitoring the next steps of Trump and Sun, who are actively developing their own ecosystem in the world of digital assets.
