With the latest launch of his meme coin TRUMP, Donald Trump has become the first president to bring political influence into the meme coin market. However, this move raises several legal and tax challenges. According to FinTax, a web3 financial management firm, one of the biggest concerns with TRUMP is whether the coin could be classified as a security. Cryptocurrencies issued through Initial Coin Offerings (ICOs) are usually treated as securities. Still, TRUMP’s team has made it clear that the coin is not a security. The TRUMP website showed that it does not promise any future profits. This declaration, however, doesn’t fully eliminate the legal and tax questions surrounding the coin.
