Since then, the memecoin\u2019s price has decreased by 12%, falling from the $0.55 mark to the $0.48-$0.49 range.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Who\u2019s Behind The Moves?<\/h2>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In January, US President Donald Trump <a href=\"https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/the-era-of-memecoins-begun-cryptoquant-ceo-weighs-in-on-trump-token-frenzy\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener \">surprised<\/a> the crypto market by launching his official token, TRUMP. The Politician token, which broke all records for newly launched cryptocurrencies, was followed by the launch of a Melania Trump-inspired memecoin, bringing heavy criticism toward the Presidential Family.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">One of the faces behind the MELANIA memecoin is Hayden Davis, who is also responsible for the LIBRA Token disaster. Internet detective Coffeezilla, alongside Bubblemaps, unveiled that the two memecoins were tied to the same teams.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">After analyzing on-chain data, they connected MELANIA-linked addresses to the Libra launch. This meant that \u201cthe creator of Melania\u2014or someone close to their team\u2014sniped their own launch.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In an interview with Coffeezilla to discuss his involvement in the Libra token, Davis admitted to being part of the team that launched the First Lady\u2019s memecoin. As <a href=\"https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/libra-crypto-disaster-creator-defends-project-from-scam-allegations-admits-team-sniped-token\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener \">reported<\/a> by Bitcoin, he affirmed that the ream sniped the cryptocurrency at launch \u201cbecause of how big the snipe was on TRUMP\u2019s\u201d token.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">He alleged that the Melania team had not swapped the liquidity at the time of the interview but \u201csold liquidations.\u201d After the recent sell-off, Bubblemaps questioned why no one from the team had addressed the customer fund movements or the selling. \u201cIf it\u2019s the team behind it, why stay silent? If it\u2019s Hayden Davis, why hasn\u2019t anyone stepped in?\u201d they asked.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Last month, local reports claimed that Argentina\u2019s authorities were <a href=\"https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/argentina-requests-interpol-red-notice-for-libras-hayden-davis\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener \">reportedly<\/a> obtaining an Interpol\u00a0Red Notice for Davis, who still controls the Libra token wallets with millions of dollars from investors. Additionally, the Argentinian parliament is working to create a special committee to investigate the scheme, which involves President Javier Milei and his sister.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-large wp-image-445805 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/MELANIAUSDT.P_2025-04-10_11-49-23.png?w=980&amp;resize=980%2C533\" alt=\"memecoin, Melania, melaniausdt\" width=\"980\" height=\"533\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/MELANIAUSDT.P_2025-04-10_11-49-23.png?w=1101 1101w, https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/MELANIAUSDT.P_2025-04-10_11-49-23.png?w=640 640w, https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/MELANIAUSDT.P_2025-04-10_11-49-23.png?w=768 768w, https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/MELANIAUSDT.P_2025-04-10_11-49-23.png?w=980 980w, https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/MELANIAUSDT.P_2025-04-10_11-49-23.png?w=750 750w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 980px) 100vw, 980px\"><\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Recent reports revealed that the team behind the US First Lady\u2019s memecoin, MELANIA, has been in a silent sell-off for the past month without any explanations, sending the token\u2019s price to a 7.1% decrease in 24 hours.\u00e7 MELANIA Memecoin\u2019s \u2018Quiet\u2019 Sell-Off On Thursday, on-chain data analytics firm Lookonchain reported that the MELANIA memecoin team has [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"iawp_total_views":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[3,4,5],"class_list":["post-21663","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-crypto","tag-doge","tag-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dogewisperer.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/21663","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/dogewisperer.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/dogewisperer.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dogewisperer.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dogewisperer.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=21663"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/dogewisperer.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/21663\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dogewisperer.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=21663"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dogewisperer.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=21663"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dogewisperer.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=21663"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
