How To Buy MELANIA Coin With Credit Cards, Apple Pay, Bank, And More

On January 19, 2025, Melania Trump introduced her own cryptocurrency, the MELANIA meme coin, just hours before her husband, President-elect Donald Trump's inauguration. It was also reshared by Donald Trump on X.

The MELANIA coin experienced a rapid surge in value, reaching a market capitalization of approximately $1.9 billion shortly after its release.

However, the introduction of MELANIA had immediate repercussions on the TRUMP coin. Analysts observed that the launch of Melania's token led to a significant sell-off in TRUMP, causing its value to plummet by as much as 40%.
