Crypto Giggle
MELANIA has seen a gain of 13% in the last week. It is currently valued at $0.1645. This rally comes after a White House private screening of Melania’s documentary.
This Brett Ratner film generated a lot of buzz on the crypto market. The film provides behind-the scenes footage that shows Melania Trump in action during the run-up to Donald Trump’s 2nd inauguration. It is due to be released worldwide on 30 January.
The data shows that the market is awash with speculation. Coinglass reports that open interest for MELANIA derivatives has increased 17% over the past 24 hours. The increase in open interest is a sign of increased market activity.
On the social media platform X President Trump called out this documentary as a must-watch.
Historical Market Performance
Recent gains in cryptocurrency are a small recovery. MELANIA was launched along with the Official Trump token (TRUMP), just prior to the presidential inauguration of 2025. The release of both tokens immediately sparked controversy.
MELANIA, despite the recent rally, has experienced substantial losses from its peak. Since its January 2025 high, the token’s value has fallen by nearly 98%. This dramatic fall highlights the volatility of digital assets linked to celebrities.
TRUMP faces the same challenges. The TRUMP token has dropped 93% in value since its launch, and is currently trading at around $4.75. The price of both cryptocurrencies has been in a long-term downtrend despite some occasional Price spikes linked to certain events.
Forbes reported that President Trump’s wealth increased by $3.5 billion. This report attributes $2 billion to crypto ventures. This includes his involvement in World Liberty Financial projects and meme coins.
Critique and industry concerns
Trump’s family cryptocurrency projects continue to be criticized by many. Anthony Scaramucci repeatedly referred to TRUMP and MELANIA as “gambling coins.” These projects, he says, risk selling political influence.
Critics are concerned about the implications of cryptocurrency projects for democracy. Some critics warn that projects involving cryptocurrency and political figures may damage the credibility of the president. Analysts worry that these projects could also damage the reputation of cryptocurrency.
