Barely 24 hours to his swearing-in as the 47th President of the United States (US), t Donald Trump has unveiled his own cryptocurrency meme coin named, $TRUMP.
Sunday Telegraph recalls that the president-elect will be sworn in on Monday, January 20 as the United States of America (USA) President following the completion of President Joe Bidens tenure.
According to the reports, Trump’s meme coin quickly soared in market capitalisation to several billion dollars hours after it was launched on Saturday, January 18.
