In recent years, the crypto market has evolved from a niche
financial space to an integral part of the global financial system.
Notably, the launch of tokens representing the personal images of
U.S. President Donald Trump and his wife
Melania has drawn attention to politically-themed
digital currencies. For those interested in trading such assets,
BYDFi crypto exchange has emerged as a preferred platform due to
its asset protection measures, low fees, and strong reputation.

$MELANIA tokens, offering spot trading, perpetual contracts, and perpetual copy

SEC's Historic Shift: A New Era of Crypto Regulation
and the Rise of Political Memecoins
On January 20, 2025, the resignation of U.S. Securities and
Exchange Commission (SEC) Chairman Gary Gensler was followed by the
announcement of the creation of a cryptocurrency-focused task force
led by Hester Peirce. A steadfast supporter of the
crypto community, Hester Peirce made it clear that what the crypto
industry needs is clear regulation and transparent rules, not
excessive intervention. Against this backdrop, this development
helped politically-themed memecoins $TRUMP and $MELANIA gain more
visibility in the market.
$TRUMP,
the official Memecoin launched just ahead of Donald Trump’s 2025
inauguration, is built on the Solana blockchain. The token not only
symbolizes Trump’s supporters but also represents the intersection
of politics and cryptocurrency. Within just 48 hours, $TRUMP’s
market cap briefly exceeded $10 billion. Though it has since been
corrected, it remains one of the top three Memes globally,
surpassing $Pepe. Currently priced at 42.205, it has seen a
staggering 800% increase from its lowest price (within less than
four days). Recently, U.S. asset management firm Rex Shares filed
for an ETF based on $TRUMP, highlighting the growing interest from
traditional investors in the crypto market.
Meanwhile, Melania Trump also launched her own Memecoin,
$MELANIA.
This token capitalizes on the influence of the Trump family to
attract supporters of the former president, while tapping into the
broader trend of political cryptocurrency. The launch of $MELANIA
caused a stir in the market, attracting over $2 billion in
investments within 24 hours and sending its price soaring to over
$10. Built on the Solana blockchain, $MELANIA also contributed to
increased transaction volume and attention on the Solana network (current price: $257.45, market
cap: $125.3 billion).
The launch of $TRUMP and $MELANIA Memecoins represents not only
a commercialization attempt by political figures but also a
snapshot of a broader societal phenomenon. The brand effect of
Donald Trump and Melania Trump has undoubtedly brought substantial
attention and capital inflows to these Memecoins. As the popularity
of these tokens rises, so does the spread of fraudulent activities,
becoming an increasing risk in the market. Leading up to and
following President Trump’s inauguration, counterfeit Trump and
Melania tokens, along with fake websites themed around $TRUMP and
$MELANIA, flooded the market. Many malicious actors exploited these
fake tokens, stealing $4.8 million from 12,641 wallets within just
24 hours.

Michael, the co-founder of BYDFi, stated: "Political
Memecoins like $TRUMP and $MELANIA represent a market phenomenon
where speculation and risk profit. While they have attracted

mitigating market risks remain critical concerns for every
investor. BYDFi boasts a strict risk control system, robust
security measures, and advanced infrastructure to safeguard user
assets. At BYDFi, users can trade cryptocurrency with confidence,
