Trump's crypto tokens are raising ethical and geopolitical concerns--and are worrying even Trump's staunchest pro-crypto supporters

The driving force behind meme coins and why the launch of Donald and Melania Trump meme tokens sparked an outcry.

Meme coins have shown over and over that they can provide life-changing gains for early investors. Some meme coins possess the unique blend of community, innovation, and captivating narratives that could propel them to significant gains.

President Donald Trump and First Lady Melania Trump both launched meme coins on Monday, but experts say they may not be reliable investments.

The launch of $TRUMP and $MELANIA crypto coins has disappointed some in the crypto industry, who fear they amplify the sector’s sillier and scammier side.

Crypto analysts report 6,800 fraudulent tokens and 91 fake dApps since $TRUMP made its $72 billion debut, as reported by Crypto News. The coin, which President Trump admitted himself that he “didn’t know much about,” was launched to great success, achieving a market cap of $72 billion 48 hours before its launch.

President Donald Trump’s goodwill in the cryptocurrency industry has taken a hit after he and his wife launched meme coins — a move critics say looks like an unseemly cash grab that undermines an effort to legitimize digital assets.

President Donald Trump promised crypto investors he’d usher in an era of legitimacy for an industry that’s long been relegated to the financial wilderness — dismissed by some mainstream investors as an highly speculative bet at best or an elaborate Ponzi scheme at worst.

In a market often dominated by hype-driven meme coins like $TRUMP and $MELANIA, savvy investors are seeking projects with real-world utility and long-term potential. Lightchain AI stands out as a beacon of stability,
