Trump Team Generates $3.39 Million from TRUMP Token Liquidity Moves

The Trump campaign’s crypto operation raised roughly $3.39 million in USDC within a ten‑hour window by manipulating liquidity pools on the Solana blockchain, according to on‑chain analytics provider Lookonchain.

Liquidity Pool Sale Method

Instead of selling tokens directly on an exchange order book, the team added TRUMP‑only liquidity at target price levels and later removed it as market participants triggered swaps into USDC. This approach mirrors a similar maneuver executed in April of the previous year, when developers extracted $4.6 million USDC from a pool ahead of a token unlock.

Recent Transaction Activity

• On August 23, the official Trump wallet moved about 646,000 TRUMP tokens, valued at roughly $15.5 million on OKX.
• A subsequent transfer involved 2.62 million tokens, worth about $6.2 million.
• Earlier in May, Trump Media transferred 2,650 BTC (≈$205 million) to Crypto.com, a move described as balance‑sheet monetization.
• World Liberty Financial, another Trump‑linked venture, sold 5.9 billion WLFI tokens to private buyers, with the family receiving 75 % of the proceeds.

Token Performance and Market Context

TRUMP trades near $2.46, giving it a market capitalization of approximately $629.5 million and 24‑hour trading volume of $864.3 million. The token’s price has been volatile since its launch on Solana on January 17 2025, spiking above $73 within two days before a steep decline.

Future Outlook

Bill Zanker’s Fight Fight Fight LLC is reportedly seeking a $200 million treasury fund to purchase TRUMP tokens on the open market, though the plan remains unconfirmed. Recent insider withdrawals suggest continued value extraction even as retail demand pushes the price higher.
