Trump has taken control of the crypto market.
He owns the 12th largest token worth $15 billion. He has captured the attention of all crypto users. He dominates every token in the market, and in less than a day, his net worth doubled. He has complete control over the market until… his wife launched MELANIA coin, and he initiated a "vampire attack" on his own token, causing TRUMP coin to drop over 50%.

It's not to say that TRUMP coin is a scam. However, most agree that the launch of MELANIA coin was a huge mistake. But this mistake does not signify the end of crypto.
In fact, it marks a new beginning, the start of a crazy cycle. Celebrity memes are becoming the norm, and there is no "crime" in cryptocurrency. Here are four key predictions for this cycle and the tokens/ecosystems that will have the most significant impact:
**The Market Becomes Smarter, *Trump Memes* Cool Down**
While it's uncertain whether the Trump family will stop issuing memes or if all family members will issue them, one thing is clear: the returns on each new token will diminish.
The launch of MELANIA coin was a massive mistake; the valuation of TRUMP coin was destined to be much higher, possibly at DOGE levels. However, insiders from Trump revealed their cards too early.
As more TRUMP memes are released and perform poorly, traders are expected to seek broader markets and more growth opportunities.
Meanwhile, celebrities will also closely watch this golden opportunity…
Celebrity Memes & Rugs
Celebrities will launch their own memecoins. This is not surprising. The market has been anticipating this.
But what the market did not expect was the impact of celebrity memecoins on the market.
Despite the public suffering from PTSD due to Hawk Tuah (HAWK token crash) and Floyd Mayweather (boxer Floyd Mayweather's involvement in promoting scam projects like Mayweverse), let's take a look at some key data from the past two days:
- Trump's meme attracted over 115,000 new cryptocurrency users (see the dashboard below).
- Google searches for cryptocurrency have surged in the past few days: searches for "Solana" have reached a new high for the year, and searches for terms like "Crypto," "Ethereum," and "Coinbase" have all shown an upward trend this year.

Why is this data so important?
115,000 users is not a small number.
- For reference, 115,000 is half of Arbitrum's daily active users and a quarter of Ethereum's daily active users.
Google search data indicates a new user demographic.
- Crypto veterans do not use Google. They have links to Coinbase, they know what Solana is, and they search for information on X.
- This data also suggests that the increase in interest is not limited to Solana but spans the entire crypto space.
Other celebrities may also have a similar impact.
There are many other celebrities with fervent followings who can bring hundreds of thousands of users to the blockchain, just like Trump. For example, Elon Musk, Mr. Beast, Taylor Swift, Justin Bieber, CR7, Messi, Jeff Bezos.
Imagine if Taylor Swift launched TSWIFT coin and brought 100,000 to 200,000 new users to the blockchain. That would be equivalent to adding a whole new chain to cryptocurrency, creating a new user planet in the solar system.
While all of this is an optimistic view, and historically, celebrity memes often end in rug pulls, in a bull market, people quickly forget.
The Hawk Tuah rug incident will not deter gamblers and fans from buying her future memes. Even if 9 out of 10 celebrity memes are rug pulls, the one that isn't will still bring much-needed users and liquidity to the crypto space.
AI Tokens: The Return of the Kings
After the cooling of Trump memes, traders will look for better opportunities. AI is one of the best opportunities. When thinking of AI, one thinks of the acronym APE:
- A: Abstraction. AI solves UI/UX issues. It simplifies all complex DeFi processes like trading, lending, borrowing, and LPing through natural language.
- P: Profit/Protection. AI agents provide automation and superior trading strategies, offering users additional profit returns. AI agents are also excellent at protecting investors from scams. Some teams are developing a wallet protection program that alerts users to potential fraud signs before they purchase tokens.
- E: Entertainment. Waifu, DJ, etc., need I say more?
When considering the impact of AI on cryptocurrency, it becomes evident that the profit rotation from Trump traders to DeFAI is apparent. Some of my favorite AI projects include VIRTUAL, AIXBT, AVA, FARTCOIN, and HAT.
Additionally, keep a close eye on MCAP projects with standout niche use cases (not just another trading bot or launch pad):
- ANTIRUG: Predictive analysis of project rugs
- PYTHIA: AI in a mouse brain
- VIRAL: Agents learning human behavior directly from the screen
SOL: The Undefeated Champion
If all goes well, TRUMP coin has proven that Solana is the best chain for launching tokens, with no better alternative.
A market cap of $15 billion in a day is something no other field can achieve.
In the past two days, Solana has set new highs on almost every metric (Related reading: Crazy Weekend: 10 Charts Analyzing Solana's Moment in the Crypto Market):
- TVL surged to over $12 billion, reaching its highest level since the peak of the 2021 bull market.
- Prices rose over 25%, reaching a new high of $290.
- DEX trading volume hit a new high of $17.5 billion.
Solana is the "public" chain, and it seems unlikely to change in the short term.
