Trump-promoted brand touts GOLD before token collapse

Özet: Kripto piyasasında önemli gelişmeler yaşanıyor.

A Solana-based token promoted by a Trump-linked coin brand collapsed within hours of its launch, raising questions over who was behind it and its unusual trading activity.

Real Trump Coins, a brand US President Donald Trump publicly promoted in 2024, touted the “Trump Digital GOLD” token on X before deleting related posts on Saturday, according to blockchain analytics platform Lookonchain.

The Real Trump Coins website continued promoting GOLD as of publication, advertising a 4% trading fee and pledging to use 99% of trading fees to buy back the token in an effort to make it a top-10 crypto asset by market capitalization.

The launch has left crypto observers questioning GOLD’s legitimacy and who was behind it, with some suggesting Real Trump Coins may have been compromised.

The token surfaced early Saturday when the Real Trump Coins X account, which Trump’s official account follows, announced the GOLD launch and directed users to RealTrumpCoins.com to buy the token.

Lookonchain flagged the launch shortly afterward, noting that the developer held 600 million GOLD while 15 newly created wallets spent $18,657 to acquire another 224.5 million tokens.

“The team currently controls 82.45% of the total supply,” Lookonchain said, advising users to be cautious.

Lookonchain later reported that the 15 wallets, which it linked to the team, sold all 224.5 million GOLD for 3,178 Solana (SOL), worth about $330,000.

GOLD subsequently lost nearly all of its value, with its market capitalization falling from about $50 million to $500,000 at the time of publication, according to DEX Screener.

“GOLD just rugged!” Lookonchain said, estimating that the wallets made a $312,000 profit, or roughly 17 times their initial investment.
