The New York Times (NYT), citing a report from cryptocurrency analytics firm Nansen, reported that "approximately 1 million investors in Donald Trump's memecoin TRUMP have lost money, with their total losses reaching $3.81 billion (approximately 5.8293 trillion Korean Won)." The NYT continued, "Trump earned $636 million in profits through TRUMP, which is part of the at least $2.2 billion in earnings Trump generated from all his businesses in 2025. He was able to profit whether the price of his memecoin went up or down, and he promoted the coin and urged purchases through his Truth Social account. However, according to Nansen's data, 988,905 TRUMP buyers recorded losses. This means two out of three buyers incurred losses. Their cumulative losses total $3.81 billion. One investor lamented, 'It's virtually a legitimate scam.'" According to CoinMarketCap, TRUMP is currently trading at $1.77, up 0.71%, which is approximately a 97% drop from its all-time high of $75.35.
