Donald Trump-related memecoins, including MAGA (TRUMP), experienced a drop of over 30% following rumors of an "official" token launch on Solana.
The alleged token, named TrumpCoin and tickered DJT, was reportedly announced on June 17 by Pirate Wires. Pirate Wires claimed that Barron Trump, the 18-year-old son of Donald Trump, was leading the token's launch.
Despite these assertions, no confirmation has come from Trump's team, and blockchain data firms like Bubblemaps have cast doubt on the legitimacy of the DJT token's connection to the former president.
