Over the weekend, the cryptocurrency market was stirred by the launch of new memecoins on the Solana platform. Donald and Melania Trump released their own tokens, which not only increased their own price and trading volumes but also positively impacted Solana.

Trump's Token Launch on Solana

The Solana-based memecoins TRUMP and MELANIA sparked significant interest among investors. Following the TRUMP launch, the tokens contributed to Solana's overall fees and revenue, pushing its total valuation past $10 billion for the first time since the FTX crash.

Impact on Solana and Its Ecosystem

Donald Trump's decision to mint his memecoins on Solana increased interest in the platform and helped it soar more than 23% post-launch, hitting a new all-time high. Over the weekend, Solana generated over $35 million in fees and $14 million in revenue. The Moonshot platform, hosted on Trump's memecoin's website, recorded nearly $400 million in trading volume within 12 hours after TRUMP's launch, adding more than 200,000 users to the network.

Expert Opinion and Solana's Future

Experts suggest that a US President releasing cryptocurrency indicates a shift towards more tolerance for crypto innovation in the US. Trump's preference for Solana also increases the likelihood of a SOL ETF being launched. Polymarket investors have raised the probability of the Solana ETF launching by July 31 from 43% to 58%.

The release of TRUMP and MELANIA memecoins on the Solana platform marked a significant uptick in interest in this blockchain ecosystem, opening new developmental perspectives. The rising interest in Solana is a positive indicator for its future potential and its strengthening position in the cryptocurrency market.
