Trump Meme Coin Down 96% From Peak as Approval Ratings Sink
Official Trump TRUMP coin has crashed 96% from its January 2025 all-time high to $2.90 as polling shows approval ratings sinking further in March 2026.
What to Know
- $2.87 — Official Trump TRUMP coin hit its lowest price since launch, crashing over 96% from its $73.43 all-time high set in January 2025
- 54.8% of Americans currently disapprove of President Trump's performance, according to polling averages aggregated by Nate Silver
- World Liberty Financial WLFI token dropped to a new all-time low of $0.094 over the weekend, and is now 69% off its peak
- World Liberty Financial faces scrutiny over a $500 million UAE investment in the Trump-aligned crypto business
The Official Trump TRUMP coin — the Solana-based meme token launched just before the president's second inauguration — touched its lowest price since trading began, falling to $2.87 overnight and sitting around $2.90 on Tuesday. That puts it more than 96% below the $73.43 all-time high it briefly touched in January 2025. Bitcoin and Ethereum have managed modest recoveries this week. TRUMP has not.
How Far Has Official Trump TRUMP Coin Fallen?
Pretty far. Official Trump TRUMP coin hit $2.87 overnight — the lowest mark tracked by CoinGecko since the token began trading in January 2025. CoinMarketCap puts the all-time low even lower, at $1.21, recorded during that same chaotic post-launch window. Either way, the token launched to enormous hype and burned almost all of it.
Down more than 15% over the past week, TRUMP is the odd one out in a market that has otherwise found some footing. Bitcoin climbed to around $70,137 and Ethereum recovered to $2,041 over the same stretch — both catching a bid as President Trump said Monday that the conflict in Iran was 'very complete, pretty much.' TRUMP didn't get the memo.
What the Prediction Markets Are Saying
Are Trump approval ratings affecting the TRUMP coin price?
There's a real correlation forming here, and the numbers are hard to ignore. Predictors on Myriad — the prediction market run by Dastan — shifted from roughly 50-50 odds on Trump's approval to 58% favoring disapproval as of this writing. That's a notable move in a short window.
Traditional polling is even bleaker. Aggregated averages from data analyst Nate Silver now show 54.8% disapproval among Americans rating the president's performance. The prediction market is finally catching up to what mainstream polling has reflected since the middle of last year — and the TRUMP coin seems to be tracking both.
Death, fire, and fury will reign should Iran stop the flow of oil.
WLFI Token Also Sliding — And Under Scrutiny
The broader Trump-affiliated crypto picture isn't much prettier. The World Liberty Financial WLFI token did eke out a 1.4% gain on Tuesday, trading around $0.10 — but that follows a weekend where it hit a new all-time low of $0.094, the first time it had fallen that low since becoming freely tradable.
Even at current prices, WLFI sits 69% below its peak. World Liberty Financial held a conference at Trump's Mar-a-Lago estate in Florida recently — a high-profile event that did nothing to arrest the slide. The more pressing concern is the World Liberty Financial UAE $500 million investment, which has drawn scrutiny over the depth of foreign ties to a crypto project backed by a sitting U.S. president.
What Does a 96% Drop Mean for Political Meme Coins?
Call it a cautionary tale. Political meme coins derive their value almost entirely from sentiment — which makes them extraordinarily fragile when the sentiment sours. TRUMP launched on a wave of inaugural euphoria. That wave is gone.
If you bought TRUMP near the top, this isn't just a bad trade — it's a near-total loss. The token still exists, the hype infrastructure still functions, but with approval ratings continuing to erode and no clear catalyst for recovery, the question isn't whether TRUMP bounces. It's whether the story that justified its launch still holds.
