The “official” memecoin of incoming U.S. President Donald Trump has boosted interest in Solana<\/a> (SOL), leading to a surge in both its price and trading volume, which in turn helped the total dollar value locked (TVL) on the network top $10 billion for the first time since the collapse of FTX.<\/p>\n

Donald Trump\u2019s choice of issuing the memecoin on Solana helped SOL rise more than 23% since its announcement, moving the cryptocurrency\u2019s price to a new all-time high and boosting the dollar value locked on its smart contracts. Data from DeFiLlama<\/a> shows TVL on Solana is now at $12 billion, a new all-time high.<\/p>\n

Measured in SOL, the value locked on the network has been steadily growing since the beginning of last year and recently topped 45 million SOL. This level hasn\u2019t been seen since August 2022, ahead of the collapse of FTX, <\/a>whose co-founder Sam Bankman-Fried was a major Solana proponent.<\/p>\n

The launch of Donald Trump\u2019s official memecoin, $TRUMP, was co-ordinated by CIC Digital LLC, a Trump-affiliated organization, the BBC reported<\/a>. Together with Fight Fight Fight LLC, they own 80% of the memecoin\u2019s supply set to be released over the next three years.<\/p>\n

The memecoin, which has been dominating headlines in the space and is set to be listed on major cryptocurrency exchanges<\/a> including Binance and Coinbase, is currently the third-largest across all blockchains behind Shiba Inu and Dogecoin in terms of market capitalization.<\/p>\n

The token was launched by a team including Solana ecosystem protocols Jupiter and Meteora and led to a trading frenzy on the network\u2019s decentralized exchanges, with DeFiLlama showing Raydium surpassed<\/a> Tether in 24-hour fee generation.<\/p>\n

Moonshot, the memecoin trading platform featured on the memecoin\u2019s website posted on social media by President-elect Donald Trump, reported a 12-hour trading volume of nearly $400 million after the memecoin launched, adding it onboarded over 200,000 users onto the network in the process.<\/p>\n

The network choice also helped boost the perceived odds of a spot Solana exchange-traded fund (ETF) being launched in the first half of the year. Polymarket traders<\/a> went from weighing a 43% chance such a product would be launched by July 31, to 61%.<\/p>\n

The trading frenzy came during the weekend, when trading volumes are typically muted as many institutional investors and professional traders are less active. This means that speculative activity on the network could well continue during the week.<\/p>\n

Beyond that, the memecoin\u2019s launch is bringing Solana an influx of new users and presents the network, which has suffered multiple major outages<\/a>, with an opportunity to showcase its robustness. If it withstands the test, the Solana ecosystem could keep on seeing significant inflows.<\/p>\n

The introduction of Trump’s token also signals the U.S. government’s change in stance toward the cryptocurrency sector and offers it increased legitimacy, as the President of the world\u2019s largest economy has quite literally launched a Solana-based memecoin. <\/p>\n

The memecoin\u2019s rollout signals a \u201cchange in US fintech policy towards much more permissive innovation,\u201d crypto OG and Shapeshifter founder Erik Voorhees commented<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
