A mess.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Trump&#8217;s Wild Ride With Crypto<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Remember when Trump called Bitcoin a scam? Yeah, that didn&#8217;t last. By last summer, he was promising to make the U.S. the crypto capital of the world. Bold move. People got excited. They thought, maybe, just maybe, this guy would take crypto mainstream. Instead, we got two meme coins and a whole lot of confusion.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Boom, Bust, and a Lot of Questions<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">TrumpCoin launched at zero. Within hours? $15 billion market cap. Crazy. MelaniaCoin wasn\u2019t far behind, hitting $2 billion. And then? A crash.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">By February 11th:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">TrumpCoin: $15.56, $3 billion market cap.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">MelaniaCoin: $1.42, $212 million market cap.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">That\u2019s one nasty drop.

Fast gains, faster losses.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Regulation Nightmares:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Meme coins? They live in a legal gray zone. Securities laws? Maybe. Commodity laws? Also maybe. The SEC?
