** Melania Trump Meme Coin Crashes 98% From January Highs, Finbold Reports
————————————————————
MELANIA traded at $8.48 on President Donald Trump’s inauguration day, reaching a market cap of $1.6 billion. As of August 7, 2025, it trades at just $0.2062, reducing its market cap to $173 million and erasing over $1.4 billion in paper value.
The collapse followed the sale of $35.7 million in tokens by Melania’s team in June, which triggered a mega crash. This coincided with growing support for the MEME Act and COIN Act, Democrat‑backed bills seeking to bar political figures from profiting from cryptocurrency projects. If passed, these laws could force MELANIA off regulated exchanges, limiting its branding power and speculative inflows.
Solscan data shows MELANIA’s 1 billion token supply is heavily concentrated, with the top 10 holders controlling 90%. SoSoValue data highlights notable spikes in token transfers earlier this summer, followed by declining buy volume, reflecting dwindling confidence among retail traders.
“This level of concentrated ownership paired with political uncertainty makes MELANIA one of the most volatile tokens we’ve tracked,” said Jordan Major, Chief Editor at Finbold.
Diana Paluteder, Head of Content at Finbold, added: 
“For investors, MELANIA illustrates the risks of politically branded tokens. As regulatory efforts like the MEME Act and COIN Act gain traction, transparency and ongoing monitoring become critical.”
