About

Melania Meme Coin also known as MELANIA MEME or $MELANIA is a cryptocurrency launched on the Solana blockchain by First Lady Melania Trump, wife of President Donald Trump, on January 19th, 2025. The coin reached a market capitalization of $4 billion shortly after release, attracting nearly 20,000 investors in the first hour. The token's price increased by 12,000% in the first 24 hours of its launch, with Donald Trump's meme coin plummeting in value correspondingly. Both Donald Trump and Melania Trump were accused of facilitating rug pulls after internet users realized that 89% of the $MELANIA token supply was held in a single crypto wallet, contrary to the token distribution numbers put out on Melania Trump's website.
