The OFFICIAL TRUMP cryptocurrency surged sharply, with its price roughly quadrupling in less than a day based on market data from crypto exchanges. North American traders moved quickly as liquidity swelled around the newly listed token, entering the market with a mix of curiosity and appetite for a quick move.
The coin began trading on crypto platforms on Saturday night at about $7 per unit. It briefly spiked to around $34.50 before investors took profits, pulling the price back after the initial surge.
Current market data shows TRUMP hovering near $28 in late trading hours in the Eastern Time zone, with total trading volume since launch approaching $10.5 billion. The data also reflects the pace and intensity of activity across major exchanges in the United States and Canada as participants reacted to the debut and subsequent moves.
Economists surveyed by market commentators indicated that such momentum could open the door to a broader policy agenda, including the possibility of Bitcoin being considered for government reserves and used as part of debt management strategies. The discussion underscored how digital assets could be integrated into national finance if political conditions shift.
A senior market analyst observed that Bitcoin has softened in recent days, with investors weighing the trajectory of US monetary policy and its impact on risk assets. The commentary highlighted how policy signals can drive sentiment and price action across the crypto space.
Bitcoin’s price crossed the $100,000 level earlier in December, then retreated to around $93,000 by late December as market dynamics evolved and investors reassessed risk. This pattern underscored the volatility that often accompanies rapid shifts in crypto markets and macroeconomic expectations.
In parallel, discussions in legislative circles considered the idea of a Bitcoin strategic reserve, reflecting ongoing debates about how digital currencies might fit into a national financial framework and resilience planning. The conversations pointed to a broader interest in digital assets as potential tools for diversifying state balance sheets and signaling strategic flexibility.
