Crypto Wallet Associated with Donald Trump Surges in Value to $10 Million

A report by Arkham Intelligence, a blockchain data tracker, reveals that a crypto wallet connected to former US President Donald Trump has seen a staggering increase in value, reaching $10 million. The wallet, identified by the ticker TRUMP, currently holds 579,300 MAGA tokens, contributing to its recent surge in value.

The wallet’s assets breakdown shows that the MAGA tokens alone are worth $7.12 million. In addition, the wallet holds 463.441 ETH, equivalent to $1.84 million, and one million MAGA VP (MVP) tokens, valued at $509,000. Despite a recent decrease in the value of MVP tokens, the overall performance of the wallet remains strong, buoyed by an 8.3% price surge in MAGA tokens on the last day. With current holdings at around $10 million, the wallet’s performance highlights the volatility and potential of the crypto market.

Trump’s connection to the crypto wallet was revealed through his financial disclosures in August 2023, which showed that he possessed approximately $5 million in ETH and earned $4.9 million in royalties from his Trump Digital Trading Card NFT collection. Furthermore, he solidified his “crypto whale” status with significant transactions, including selling $2.4 million in ETH in December 2023.

Trump’s evolving stance on cryptocurrency became evident during his speech at the 2024 Libertarian National Convention. He expressed support for individual custody rights and criticized central bank currencies, indicating a shift in his perspective on cryptocurrencies. This change reflects the growing influence of politics on the digital currency landscape.
