Messari founder Ryan Selkis urges President-elect Donald Trump to dismiss the team behind the MELANIA meme coin due to poor execution and financial implications for Trump.

Meme Coins Market Collision

On January 19, Selkis criticized the MELANIA project launch on X, noting it led to the TRUMP token’s value dropping by 50%, resulting in substantial financial losses.

Launch Criticism

Following its debut, TRUMP's market value hit $15 billion, threatening to become one of the top ten cryptocurrencies by market cap. However, after MELANIA's unveiling, TRUMP declined from $75 to about $38. Selkis voiced frustration over the lack of crypto-native expertise within Trump’s advisory circle.

He expressed willingness to help the new administration avoid similar mistakes in the future.

Greed Suspicions

Delphi Labs founding partner José Maria Macedo speculated that MELANIA's launch was driven by greed. He cited the token's unusual economic model and suspicious trading activities as potential supporting evidence.

The MELANIA meme coin situation highlights criticism and suspicions regarding insufficient expertise and potential vested interests, emphasizing the importance of thorough analysis and transparency in crypto initiatives.
