TRUMP Team Profits Up to $1.16B as Buyers Lose 97%
CryptoQuant founder Ki Young Ju says the team behind the TRUMP token made an estimated $779 million to $1.16 billion from holders, while buyers have lost 97%. The claim highlights the sharp losses facing TRUMP investors and the large gap between buyer outcomes and the team’s reported profits. The article does not provide further details on the estimate or its calculation.
Bearish
The reported 97% losses among TRUMP buyers are a bearish signal for the token: they may weaken confidence, increase selling pressure and discourage new buyers. Reports that the team made as much as $1.16 billion could also intensify concerns about token distribution and whether insiders benefited at holders’ expense. Similar episodes involving heavily promoted or insider-linked tokens have often led traders to focus on wallet flows, liquidity and concentrated holdings, with negative headlines accelerating short-term volatility. However, the article gives no methodology or supporting data for the estimate, so the figures should be treated as an attributed claim rather than independently verified market data. The direct effect is likely concentrated in TRUMP; broader market stability is unlikely to change unless the story triggers wider concern about meme-coin launches or regulatory scrutiny. Longer-term sentiment will depend on verification of the claims, token supply and unlock details, and whether holders continue to sell.
