President-elect Trump launched his own cryptocurrency overnight and swiftly appeared to make more than $25 billion on paper for himself and his companies.

Why it matters: The stunning launch of $TRUMP caught the entire industry off-guard, and speaks to both his personal influence and the ascendancy of cryptocurrency in his administration.

  • It also speaks to the nature of the crypto industry that someone could have $25 billion worth of something that literally did not exist 24 hours previously.

    Honestly, I won’t forgive Biden for just smiling in response to Trump winning after not leaving 4 years sooner. Before anyone asks, I voted for Harris, so don’t shove that narrative down my throat.

      The tankies are getting REAL close to just outright admitting they wanted Trump, so there’s that.

        Best trash takes itself out is how I see it. Glad they make it so easy to spot with red merch.
