Trump Coin Price Prediction: 50M Token Unlock Hits Jan 18 – Will TRUMP Survive the Flood?

A tidal wave of 50 million TRUMP tokens is set to hit the market this weekend. The unlock event, scheduled for January 18, 2026, throws a massive variable into the token's price equation—classic crypto, creating liquidity problems to solve liquidity problems.

The Mechanics of the Flood

Token unlocks are the scheduled releases of previously locked coins, often allocated to early investors, team members, or treasury reserves. When 50 million units of a cryptocurrency become instantly tradeable, it represents a direct increase in circulating supply. Basic economics suggests that a sudden supply surge, without a corresponding spike in demand, typically exerts downward pressure on price. The market's immediate reaction will hinge on whether holders see this as a long-awaited exit or a temporary discount.

Navigating the Aftermath

History provides a mixed playbook. Some assets tank on unlock days, while others absorb the shock and rally—often depending on the project's underlying momentum and market sentiment. For TRUMP, the key metrics to watch will be order book depth and sell-side pressure in the hours following the unlock. Does the existing demand have the appetite to swallow this new volume, or will it overwhelm the buy walls? Sharp traders will be monitoring for a potential 'sell the news' event followed by a volatility squeeze.

The only prediction that's ever safe in this space is that someone, somewhere, will call it a 'bullish unlock' with a straight face.

Trump Coin Price Prediction: Token Unlock Set for Jan 18 – What Happens When 50M TRUMP Floods the Market?

At a nominal value of $274 million, 50 million TRUMP will become available for transfer (and sale) on Sunday, with this amount going to its “creators” and to the Trump-associated CIC Digital.

The Trump family isn’t averse to selling TRUMP tokens, with data suggesting that it has made around $1.2 billion via crypto as of October of last year.

As such, this incoming stash of coins could find its way to the market fairly quickly, exerting some downward pressure on on the Trump Coin price.

If we look at its chart today, we see that it remains in a strong position as far as its indicators go.

Its relative strength index (yellow) remains above 50, having bouncing from just under 30 at the end of December.

Similarly, TRUMP’s MACD (orange, blue) has only just turned positive, after several months of being in a heavily oversold position.

The coin is therefore very close to breaking out, with its descending pennant also suggesting that a big MOVE could be imminent.

While the upcoming unlock may indicate that we could see a short-term dip, it’s arguable that TRUMP is moving into an increasingly strong fundamental position.

That’s because the Trump family’s crypto empire continues to expand, with an affiliate of World Liberty Financial signing a deal this week with Pakistan to trial stablecoin-based cross-border payments.

So while the Trump Coin price has declined substantially since launch, the Trump empire’s heavy involvement in the industry could give it the underpinning to send it rallying once again.

It could reach $10 in the next few weeks, before topping $20 by Q2.

SUBBD Lets Anyone Earn Money From AI Characters

For any trader who might remain uncertain about TRUMP, there are alternative altcoins to consider for investment and diversification, including several promising presale tokens.

One of these is SUBBD ($SUBBD), an Ethereum-based utility token that opened its sale a couple of months ago.

It has so far raised in excess of $1.4 million, while it’s already begin to build a sizeable online community, with over 38,000 followers on X.

These are hugely encouraging figures, and they suggest that SUBBD could do very well once it goes live in the next few weeks.

What’s interesting about the project is that it’s launching an adult content creation platform, one which will harness AI and crypto to provide numerous advantages for creators.

Not only will its crypto element make payouts transparency and instant, but it will offer AI tools that will help users with the production of content.

From generating ideas and posts to even generating AI agents and videos, SUBBD’s tools can take care of pretty much everything a user may want to do with the platform.

This could give it a real competitive edge over incumbent platforms, which helps to explain why it’s already doing so well.

Investors can join its sale by visiting its official website and connecting a compatible wallet, such as Best Wallet.

SUBBD is currently available at $0.05745, although this will rise again tomorrow.
