$7.5M Vanishes from TRUMP Coin Liquidity Pool – Meme Coin Mania Losing Steam?

Another day, another liquidity rug pull—this time, the TRUMP meme coin takes a $7.5M hit. Is the speculative bubble finally deflating, or just another Tuesday in crypto?

Liquidity Exodus: Traders Flee the Meme Circus

The once-hot TRUMP token bled $7.5M from its liquidity pools overnight. Was it profit-taking, panic, or just gamblers chasing the next shiny object? (Spoiler: Probably all three.)

Pump-and-Dump 2.0: Politics Meets Degenerate Finance

Meme coins thrive on hype, but even political novelty wears thin. The TRUMP token’s volatility spike suggests traders are losing faith—or maybe just cashing out before the SEC starts asking questions.

Closing Thought: In crypto, liquidity moves faster than a politician backtracking on campaign promises. Stay sharp out there.

Despite sell-off, TRUMP barely moves

On-chain tracker Lookonchain reported that the team behind the TRUMP token has been selling, withdrawing $7.5 million in liquidity from the market.

This withdrawal spans two tokens: the stablecoin USDC and TRUMP. The team sold $4.4 million worth of USDC for an equivalent amount in ETH.

Most notably, they sold 347,438 TRUMP tokens worth $3.12 million at the time of writing. Typically, such sell-offs act as a warning signal, prompting investors to follow suit.

But this time is different. The memecoin has barely moved in the past 24 hours, and AMBCrypto investigated why. According to Arkham Intelligence, despite the recent sell-off, the team’s allocation remains largely unchanged.

As of press time, the team controls 80% of the total supply, holding over 800 million TRUMP tokens worth $7.15 billion.

This suggests market participants view the recent sales as insignificant, given the team’s massive remaining allocation.

Whales accumulate as on-chain holdings stay high

Accumulation has surged in recent days, particularly among large entities, as seen on Arkham Intelligence.

One notable example is, Jupiter, a DEX Aggregator, which bought over 275,300 TRUMP tokens worth $2.44 million, a 365% increase in its portfolio.

This trend has been mirrored by other major players such as Ceffu, Stake.com, Robinhood, and OKX, which collectively purchased $11.9 million worth of TRUMP.

Retail investors are also participating. According to CoinGlass’ Spot Exchange Netflow data, they have been accumulating TRUMP as well.

So far, this group has bought approximately $558,000 worth of the asset from the market.

Derivative traders short TRUMP

In the derivatives market, however, the sentiment is bearish as seen on Arkham Intelligence. Traders are betting on a price drop.

At the time of writing, data revealed that most derivative traders on Arkham, ByBit, and OKX were opening short positions. Funding rates have turned negative—down to -0.1%, -2.1%, and -4.0%, respectively.

If this trend continues, it could stall upward momentum. However, continued spot accumulation suggests short traders may soon face liquidation risk.
