Cryptocurrency Markets Tumble as Trump’s Inaugural Address Omits Digital Assets

The cryptocurrency world witnessed dramatic swings during Donald Trump’s inaugural address on January 20, 2025. Bitcoin, the market’s bellwether, nosedived from its record high of $108,786 to around $102,000. Investors, bracing for a pro-crypto agenda, were left reeling as Trump’s speech sidestepped the digital asset space entirely.

This omission wiped $250 billion off the market’s total valuation, sending it from $3.85 trillion to $3.6 trillion. Altcoins also bore the brunt, with several posting double-digit losses and triggering widespread liquidations of leveraged positions.

Major Altcoins and Political Tokens Take a Hit

The hardest-hit tokens were those tied to political affiliations. The TRUMP and MELANIA tokens faced sharp declines of 20% and 32%, respectively. Their plunge highlighted the speculative nature of politically themed cryptocurrencies.

Other notable losers included Solana, Dogecoin, and Cardano, all of which suffered double-digit losses. This cascading sell-off across the altcoin spectrum revealed the market’s fragile optimism leading up to Trump’s inauguration.

Trump Coin: A Controversial Venture

Trump Coin, a digital asset launched under the banner of the Trump campaign, has drawn scrutiny for its design and timing. Initially introduced with a capped supply of 200 million tokens, the supply is set to balloon to 1 billion over three years through a complex unlocking mechanism.

Tokenomics and Distribution

  • The Trump camp retains control over 80% of the token supply, while the public and liquidity pool hold just 10% each.
  • The distribution involves “cliffs” and vesting periods, with Groups 1 and 4 set to unlock 10% of their tokens after three months, followed by daily releases over 24 months.
  • This structure centralizes control and raises questions about market manipulation risks.

How Trump Profits from Trump Coin

The financial architecture of Trump Coin revolves around two entities: CIC Ventures LLC and CIC Digital LLC. Both are owned by the Donald J. Trump Revocable Trust. These entities have previously netted millions, including $7 million from Trump’s NFT ventures in 2023.

With fees as high as 10% on some transactions, the revenue potential is significant. On launch day alone, the token generated $12.5 million in fees, underscoring its profitability but also fueling concerns about the burden on investors.

Public Sentiment and Investment Behavior

A survey by NFTEvening and Storible revealed polarized public opinion on Trump Coin:

  • 32% of Americans have invested in the token, with 27% of these investors reporting profits.
  • 21% of buyers are first-time crypto investors, highlighting the token’s appeal to newcomers.
  • However, 42% believe the coin is a scam, reflecting deep skepticism about its legitimacy.

These findings underline the divide between those lured by the potential for quick profits and those wary of the token’s opaque structure and high fees.

Whale Activity and Market Manipulation Fears

The trading activity surrounding Trump Coin has also raised eyebrows. A crypto whale reportedly spent $12 million to acquire 860,895 tokens at an average price of $13.94. Another trader, leveraging perfect timing, turned a $1.1 million investment into $70 million within hours.

Adding to concerns, Trump’s team allegedly sold $500 million worth of tokens while retaining control of 85% of the supply. Though unverified, these figures have amplified accusations of market manipulation and cast doubt on the coin’s sustainability.

Market Implications of Trump’s Inaugural Silence

The broader crypto market’s reaction to Trump’s address underscores the sector’s reliance on political signals. Many investors had banked on favorable policy announcements, given Trump’s previous hints at supporting digital assets.

Instead, the lack of any mention of cryptocurrency was interpreted as a bearish signal. This perceived indifference, coupled with profit-taking by speculators, triggered a market-wide correction.
