Today, on April 18, around $300 million worth of Official Trump ($TRUMP) meme coin tokens have been unlocked, sparking panic among investors.
These 40 million tokens represent a 20% increase in the circulating supply and were allocated to team wallets and Trump-linked company CIC DIGITAL.
Right now, there’s no sign that the team or CIC DIGITAL has sold any of their newly unlocked tokens. Donald Trump and his team haven’t said what they plan to do with them.
This major unlock is raising fears of heavy selling pressure, especially since the token has already lost 90% of its value from its all-time high of $76.76 in January. The $TRUM token was launched by Donald Trump’s family-backed World Liberty Financial in January 2025.
The price of $TRUMP is $7.72, which increased 2.28% in the past 24 hours, and over 30% just in the last 30 days. Technical indicators like the RSI and MACD suggest a bearish trend, and the token currently sits below key exponential moving averages.
To make matters worse, this is just the beginning. Starting tomorrow, the $TRUMP token will undergo daily unlocks of around 500,000 tokens (worth roughly $3.75 million) until July 17.
On July 18, another massive unlock of 45 million tokens is scheduled, and daily unlocks will continue until January 2028. This effectively makes the token inflationary, putting constant downward pressure on the price.
Despite questions regarding the token’s configuration, $TRUMP remains at more than 630,000 holders, as indicated by Solscan.io. However, that leaves many investors in a precarious situation, depending on what the team and CIC DIGITAL do.
