In a letter sent to federal regulators on Wednesday, noted crypto-critic Senator Elizabeth Warren and Representative Jake Auchincloss called for an investigation into the Trump and Melania meme coins launched on the Solana blockchain a day before Donald Trump’s second inauguration.
Warren and Auchincloss raised concerns about potential conflicts of interest, consumer risks, and national security implications of cryptos linked to Trump and First Lady Melania.
“The Trump family-controlled Trump Organization and its affiliates hold 80% of the TRUMP coin, leaving the remaining 20% of investors to bear the cost of coin’s price volatility,” the letter said.
Donald Trump's viral meme coin saw significant volatility on Tuesday after the President attempted to distance himself from the $8 billion project that bears his name. "I don't know much about it other than I launched it," Trump told reporters at a tech executive meeting. "I heard it was very successful. I haven't checked." After climbing to a 24-hour high of $48.18, the Official Trump (TRUMP) meme coin fell 16% to $40.29 immediately following his comments. It has since regained a footing above...
Last week, then-President-Elect Trump launched the TRUMP meme coin, followed the day before the inauguration by Melania Trump’s Melania Meme coin.
Trump’s decision to join the meme coin craze sparked debate and criticism on Crypto Twitter.
> dropping TRUMP memecoin 2 days before becoming president is nasty work
> new SEC/DOJ guarantees no prosecution
> 80% of tokens vest to insiders DURING the presidency
> most ppl losing money will be MAGA who aren't crypto native
> *should* be a crime but crime is legal now ig?— Coffeezilla (@coffeebreak_YT) January 18, 2025
“The launch has massively enriched Trump personally, enabled a mechanism for the crypto industry to funnel cash to him, and created a volatile financial asset that allows anyone in the world to financially speculate on Trump's political fortunes,” Warren and Auchincloss wrote.
The Official Trump meme coin’s market capitalization stands at roughly $7 billion, with each token trading at $35.05, according to CoinGecko data. The Melania meme coin, meanwhile, has a market capitalization of over $415 million and is trading at $2.77.
The letter also noted that the meme coins contributed to a surge in the Trumps' net worth, which now stands at $58 billion. Warren and Auchincloss expressed concern over the potential for foreign influence on the President through those financial assets.
“Anyone, including the leaders of hostile nations, can covertly buy these coins, raising the specter of uninhibited and untraceable foreign influence over the President of the United States,” the letter said. It also raised concerns about a potential rug pull.
Ivanka Trump denounced an unauthorized meme coin project on Thursday with purported ties to her name and brand, insisting that it’s not the real deal. President Donald Trump's daughter said in an X (formerly Twitter) post that she had “no involvement” with the token that debuted this week. The businesswoman’s legal team is “pursuing measures” against the altcoin's creators, she said. “This fake coin risks deceiving consumers and defrauding them of their hard-earned money, and the unauthorized us...
“President Trump and his associated business entities that own 80% of TRUMP could dump their coins after a three-year period, generating huge sums for themselves while crashing the price of the coin for his supporters left holding the bag,” the letter said.
Warren and Auchincloss asked agency heads to address key questions about the meme coins and requested responses by February 4, 2025.
Those questions include:
Warren and Auchincloss also took aim at the broader meme coin industry for failing to deliver any meaningful benefits to the wider financial ecosystem.
“These coins do not create new faster, cheaper, and safer payment rails,” the letter said. “These coins do not help people borrow more affordably. They do not improve the financial system in any way for consumers.”

Alabama’s Securities Commission this week dropped its enforcement action against crypto exchange Coinbase for its staking program—an apparent sign that regulators are letting up on digital assets companies as the federal government continues its pro-crypto pivot under President Trump. But Commissioner Amanda Senn told Decrypt the regulator is still as committed as ever to promoting “market stability and integrity”—and it won’t hesitate to bring enforcement actions against Coinbase or any other...
Newly sworn-in SEC Chair Paul Atkins gave his first full address Friday, praising the Commission’s recent pro-crypto work in his absence, and condemning the agency’s previous moves against the industry under previous Chair Gary Gensler and the Joe Biden administration. “Market participants engaging with this technology deserve clear regulatory rules of the road,” Atkins said of crypto, from the agency’s Washington headquarters. “Innovation has unfortunately been stifled for the last several yea...
Less than three years after the SEC and Dragonchain, a crypto firm touting itself as "America's Blockchain," went to court over what constitutes a security offering, the parties have said they want to drop the suit. A joint filing to dismiss the agency's lawsuit against the latter was filed Thursday at a Seattle federal court. Citing the Crypto Task Force's work on crypto regulation, the SEC said that it believes dismissing its case against Dragonchain was "appropriate" given that it is a matter...
