What is the Official Melania Meme (MELANIA) coin?

Melania Trump launched her own meme coin called "Melania Coin" ($MELANIA) after her husband Donald Trump introduced his own cryptocurrency. On Sunday, January 19, Melania Trump shared on the X platform, "The Official Melania Meme is now live! You can buy $MELANIA now," she stated.

According to the coin's website, "Melania Memes" are defined as fungible crypto assets created and tracked on the Solana blockchain.

Melania Coin was introduced at the same time as President-elect Donald Trump's growing interest in cryptocurrencies and their communities. Trump also recently announced his own cryptocurrency.

In a post on Truth Social on Friday, Trump stated, "Our New Official Trump Meme is HERE! It's time to celebrate everything that represents winning! Join our very special Trump community. GET $TRUMP NOW!"

Although Trump previously described cryptocurrencies as "fraud," he began to support these assets during his campaign and became the first presidential candidate to accept digital assets. Donors were able to contribute to his campaign using any cryptocurrency accepted through Coinbase Commerce.

On Friday, January 17, an event called "Crypto Ball" was organized by Trump's AI and cryptocurrency advisor David Sacks in Washington, D.C. The cryptocurrency sector, which made large donations in the last elections, is now preparing to shape its demands with the inauguration of President-elect Trump.
