On January 18, 2025, the 47th President of the United States, Donald Trump, the president of the most powerful country on this blue planet, officially launched a meme named after himself—Trump. The world was shocked, and the blockchain was buzzing. Within 24 hours, the market cap of #Trump surged to $30 billion, peaking at $80 billion, surpassing DOGE to become the largest meme token by market cap.
Just a day later, on January 20, First Lady Melania Trump also released a meme named after herself—Melania, with a peak market cap of $13 billion.
As soon as this news broke, the market erupted in criticism, with many calling the Trump family vampires in the crypto space, treating the crypto market as a family ATM. Leveraging the power and influence of the U.S. presidency, and with the world watching the upcoming presidential inauguration, the family collectively launched a frenzy of coin releases to profit at the expense of others.
This led to anger and panic selling in the market. BTC briefly fell below $100,000, SOL dropped to $230, and Trump plummeted from a high of $80 to $35, with various on-chain assets suffering significant losses.
What is Trump really trying to do?
This is the confusion and question on everyone's mind today!
Did Trump go through all that effort (even risking his life) to ascend to the presidency just to launch coins and profit at others' expense?
Is Trump really just a businessman by nature, seizing every opportunity to make a quick buck?
As President of the United States, does Trump truly disregard the world's disdain and contempt, risking the collapse of the crypto market to earn those billions? Is the new crypto policy he intends to implement really just a joke?
With only 7 hours left until Trump's inaugural speech, his attitude and true intentions may be revealed during the address. So, before the mystery is unveiled, let's make a speculation based on the past actions of the Trump team and the interests represented by Trump as President of the United States, to deduce the underlying purpose of this series of actions.
Let’s state our conclusions directly
The Trump family members launching memes one after another is not just for personal gain; a larger strategy is to "harness the immense influence of the U.S. presidency to rally global forces to expand the crypto market," aiming to grow the entire crypto market by 5 to 10 times, thereby accommodating a larger scale of digital dollars.
Trump and the American interest groups he represents are orchestrating a strategy to reverse the decline of the petrodollar, ensuring that in the grand trend of human digitalization, the digital dollar continues the dollar hegemony and dominates the digital economy and digital world. Thus, making America great again.
The Trump family must personally engage in asset issuance to set an example for the world, signaling that influential countries, organizations, companies, and individuals can all issue digital assets on-chain, creating wealth for everyone while expanding the market. However, everything will be settled in digital dollars. For individuals, for everyone, and for America, it’s a win-win situation. The only losers are those who resist this trend.
Compliant digital dollar stablecoins like USDC will become Trump’s "on-chain Federal Reserve." USDC is a legitimate and compliant digital dollar from the U.S. Note: #Trump and #Melania are both based on USDC liquidity pools. In the future, dollars will be printed on-chain in the form of USDC. The on-chain environment is an extension of dollar hegemony. However, USDC is not the only option for the U.S. government; various types of digital dollars will emerge, such as PayPal's digital dollar, which has global payment network advantages.
The reason the Trump family chose to launch memes instead of other cryptocurrencies to send signals is that memes are the lowest-cost and most effective way (showing a good understanding of crypto). After the presidential concept meme initiated by Trump caused a sensation and achieved great success, other influential country presidents will likely follow suit. However, memes are just the introduction, a precursor to releasing the crypto atomic bomb; the bigger plans are yet to come.
We refer to the underlying goal of this series of operations by the Trump administration as: a global asset on-chain movement aimed at achieving digital dollar hegemony.
This movement requires a signal, and what could be more explosive than the President of the United States personally launching a meme?
This atomic signal is incredibly explosive, with a high degree of impact, broad coverage, and significant influence, making it one of the most impactful events in human history. After attracting global funds and attention, it shows influential figures worldwide that, wow, this is another way to play. Not only can the president launch memes, but the First Lady can too.
Of course, the meme is just the first step; the next steps are crucial:
The global asset on-chain movement led by Trump, aimed at achieving digital dollar hegemony, can be divided into four steps:
Step One: Meme
Representing celebrities, idols, and the IP economy, presidents, celebrities, and idols from influential countries worldwide can issue memes. This market segment is conservatively estimated to be worth $500 billion to $1 trillion. Imagine the scene if Elon Musk, Taylor Swift, Lionel Messi, and Cristiano Ronaldo all personally launched memes!
Step Two: Stock-like Assets
A series of commercial companies and organizations will tokenize all their unissued stock-like assets. Companies that have already issued stocks can also tokenize part of their stocks, all using digital dollars for transactions on-chain. Currently, the total market cap of U.S. stocks is about $50 trillion. Assuming a 5% ratio, that would mean $2.5 trillion in stock-like assets could be traded using digital dollars on-chain.
Step Three: Bond-like Assets
The bond market is more than 2.5 times the size of the stock market, currently around $120 trillion. Assuming 5% of bonds are issued in token form, this would amount to $6 trillion.
Step Four: RWA Assets
The so-called RWA assets here include all on-chain tradable and income-generating assets, such as precious metals like gold, commodities, real estate, and all other assets that can be RWA-ized. The total estimated value of these assets is about $350 trillion (including $14 trillion in precious metals, $6 trillion in commodities, and $330 trillion in real estate). Assuming 3% of these assets (the RWA process is complex, so we lower the ratio to 2%) are issued in token form, this would reach $7 trillion.
Adding these four parts together totals approximately $15 trillion. All these assets correspond to transactions in digital dollars, meaning the U.S. could print trillions of dollars on-chain, which is highly enticing for the Trump administration and the American interest groups it represents.
None of this can be completed in 1-2 years; it will take at least one term of Trump (4 years), or even the next term, to accomplish.
If you think that the issuance of coins by the President of the United States and other celebrities is illegal, and that the RWA-ization of all off-chain assets will face numerous difficulties, sorry, but this U.S. president is Trump. He is the bona fide crypto president, and he will introduce a series of new crypto policies to revive the dollar, along with a series of laws and regulations to ensure everything proceeds in an orderly manner.
Opportunities for Crypto Investors
In this crypto wave led by the President of the United States, what opportunities do crypto investors have?
1. BTC
BTC will always be number one.
In 2025, the first year of Trump’s new crypto policy, as BTC becomes a national strategic reserve, its price is expected to double, surpassing $200,000, which has almost become a consensus. If the crypto market can achieve more than a 5-fold increase during Trump’s four years in office, then a $1 million BTC is within reach.
2. Meme
In the short to medium term, the presidential concept meme will spark a series of celebrity meme trends, representing the crypto version of the IP economy. The presidential concept meme will continue to trigger a meme wave.
3. Agent + Crypto
The progress of human digital civilization is accelerating after LLM and Agent. Currently, humanity's digital civilization is about 30% complete, but this speed is increasing.
In the context of the overarching trend of digitalization across politics, economy, culture, thought, and life, this U.S. government has decisively placed the revival of the digital dollar on-chain, making the on-chain environment the new battleground for digital dollar hegemony. Currently, compared to other countries, the digital dollar has overwhelming advantages.
So, why must we pay attention to Agent + Crypto?
ABC Alpha DAO has specifically written about this, and you can check the details in the tweet https://x.com/ABCAlphaDAO/status/1875429038719955189
This tweet has garnered nearly 180,000 views and is worth a look.
Here’s a brief description:
All growth materials in the digital age—“data”—ultimately become productive forces. Agents are the concentrated expression of productivity in the digital age, while crypto (or blockchain) represents the production relations. The so-called production relations require a set of transparent rules and agreements to clarify who produces, who trades, how transactions occur, and how distributions are made.
If Agents are the productive forces of the digital age, we can understand Agents as “silicon-based beings.” The identity, asset accounts, trading behaviors, settlement distributions, and other social and economic relations of these “silicon-based beings” require a globally trusted and transparent protocol to be realized. Currently, no country or organization can meet these needs; only crypto can. Crypto is inherently designed for Agents.
In the future, billions of Agents will emerge from crypto, potentially exceeding the human population, creating trillions of on-chain transaction demands, all of which will require digital dollars. This is also a battleground for digital dollars. Therefore, Agents are a must-watch alpha track. As for which alphas are worth paying attention to, you can follow @ABCAlphaDAO for daily updates.
4. Solana
Currently, the competition among underlying public chains is primarily between Solana and Ethereum.
Public chains are completely open-source and driven purely by continuous innovation without technical barriers. Once innovation stagnates, they will inevitably be surpassed by more innovative competitors.
Ethereum has a longer time for value accumulation, a larger developer community, and more capital accumulation (especially the liquidity cost advantages formed by DeFi infrastructure). However, ETH is still too expensive, and the usage costs are too high. Various L2s resemble vassal states acting independently, making it difficult to concentrate power on the Ethereum mainnet. Most critically, in recent years, the Ethereum ecosystem has lacked innovation, while other chains have basically developed the necessary infrastructure. Therefore, in this round, the highly innovative Solana (e.g., the Pump.fun paradigm) has emerged as a formidable competitor to Ethereum.
Currently, the spot ETF for ETH has been launched, and the likelihood of a spot ETF for SOL seems reasonable due to the emergence of the Trump meme.
Thus, in this cycle, SOL offers better investment value. ETH will need to wait for the next cycle to reassess. Ultimately, everything will return to On-Chain-Fi, where Ethereum still holds significant advantages. Whether this advantage will be surpassed by Solana will need to wait for the next cycle to reveal.
Conclusion
Trump's personal involvement in launching memes is aimed at dropping a nuclear bomb on the crypto market, igniting attention, mobilizing global forces to expand the crypto market, and guiding trillions of off-chain assets to issue assets on-chain and transact with digital dollars, thereby extending the hegemony of the digital dollar in the digital world. This aligns with Trump's personal interests and the fundamental interests of the United States. Naturally, as the tide rises, all of this ultimately aligns with the interests of crypto investors. Therefore, we should view all of this positively, prepare ourselves, and start enjoying this round of super crypto festivities!
