The Pepe price is down 16% over the last week despite a 3% uptick in the last 24 hours to trade at $0.00001543 as of 2.30 a.m. EST on trading volume that skyrocketed 44% to $1.25 billion. Last Friday, the PEPE price sat at $0.00001859 before surging up to $0.00002093, reaching this high point on early Saturday. However, since then, the project started spiraling down until it found a support at $0.00001450.

Even though TRUMP has lost a large chunk of its price, going from above $70 to $34 at the time of writing, its market cap still puts it at over $300k ahead of PEPE.

While some are expecting better reforms and a strategic Bitcoin reserve, Trump went on to free Silk Road’s founder Ross Ulbricht.

The Official Trump price pumped 21% in the last 24 hours to trade at $40.83 as of 11:27 p.m. EST on trading volume that dropped 32% to $14.5 billion. This comes after US President Donald Trump followed through on his promise to pardon Ross Ulbricht, the founder of the online drug market Silk Road, who was imprisoned for 12 years. According to Trump, Ulbricht’s sentence of 40 years plus two life sentences was “ridiculous.” Official Trump Price Gearing Up Towards A Sustained Breakout The TRUMP price chart in the 15-minute timeframe exhibits a consolidation phase after a significant price surge earlier in the chart’s history.

The Elon Musk-led Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) has launched a bare-bones website that contains just 18 words and a Dogecoin meme. Following Donald Trump’s inauguration, he signed over 100 executive orders, one of which officially established the DOGE department and its agenda. This will apparently include the modernization of “Federal technology and software to maximize governmental efficiency and productivity.” The department’s incredibly minimal website, not to be confused with that of the DOGE memecoin, claims to be “an official website of the United States government,” and claims that “the people voted for major reform.” There’s not much on the DOGE website.

The meme coin sector plummeted, led by sharp declines in $TRUMP and $MELANIA after inauguration day, sparking a search for the best crypto to buy now as investors seek more promising opportunities. The average price of meme coins plunged almost 24% in the past 24 hours, while new Trump family meme coins Official Trump ($TRUMP ) and Melania Meme (MELANIA) plummeted 39% and 67%, respectively, according to CoinMarketCap. Euphoria in the crypto industry over the start of Trump’s second term as president has given way to a downbeat mood after his inauguration day speech failed to mention crypto at all. Trump’s first day in office also passed without a single reference to the crypto industry. Crypto assets overall plunged almost 6% to a market capitalization of $3.53 trillion, and the search is now underway to find cryptos that can perform in the early, potentially volatile, days of the new Trump administration.

Top US-based crypto exchange platform Coinbase has added President Donald Trump’s official memecoin to its listing roadmap. In a post on the social media platform X, Coinbase announces the addition of Official Trump (TRUMP) – which launched late last week – to its roadmap. Being added to Coinbase’s listing roadmap means that the crypto exchange is considering supporting the asset in the future. Coinbase uses the listing roadmap to prevent insider trading and the front-running of tokens prior to them being listed. TRUMP is trading around $58.45 after a parabolic run-up since launch. According to data from CoinGecko, TRUMP’s fully diluted valuation (FDV) is sitting at around $68 billion, just days after its inception.

Venture capitalist Chris Burniske believes crypto is about to enter uncharted territory as the United States welcomes a second Donald Trump presidency. Burniske tells his 317,600 followers on the social media platform X that he thinks Bitcoin’s (BTC) four-year cycle may witness an abrupt end with the installment of a pro-crypto US government. BTC’s four-year cycle is based on halving events when Bitcoin miner rewards are slashed in half every four years. In the past, halvings have correlated with parabolic rallies for Bitcoin as the reduction in new BTC emissions created an imbalance between supply and demand. Says Burniske, “Continue to believe there are high odds we break the simplistic four-year cycle that BTC has honored the last ~12 years… With a supportive US administration, crypto could be entering a Goldilocks period over the next many years, where returns aren’t as parabolic, but instead we see steadier growth, not to menti...
