Nearly one million accounts lost a combined $3.8 billion trading President Donald Trump’s $TRUMP memecoin as of the end of June 2026. Cryptocurrency analytics firm Nansen examined publicly visible blockchain transactions and determined that 988,905 accounts, or roughly two out of every three buyers, finished with losses.
The token traded at $1.69 on July 5, down nearly 98 percent from its all-time high of $75.35.
President Trump announced the memecoin three days before his January 2025 inauguration. He reported earning $636 million from the memecoin in a recent financial disclosure. That sum accounted for nearly half of the $1.4 billion he made from cryptocurrency ventures in 2025.
Trump previously co-founded World Liberty Financial with his sons, and the $WLFI token issued by that firm has declined sharply in value. Under the Trump administration the Securities and Exchange Commission stated that typical memecoin transactions do not constitute the sale of securities under federal securities laws and dropped multiple lawsuits against crypto companies.
A White House spokesperson stated that President Trump had made the United States the crypto capital of the world.
