$BARRON Meme Coin Loses Over 90% in Two Hours After Rumors of Association with Barron Trump Prove False

Jan 21, 2025 at 02:29 am

$BARRON, a recently launched meme coin, has been volatile and has lost over 90% in two hours. The coin skyrocketed after rumors that it was associated with Barron Trump

$BARRON Meme Coin Loses Over 90% in Two Hours After Rumors of Association with Barron Trump Prove False

A recently launched meme coin, $BARRON, has seen drastic volatility, losing over 90% in two hours. The coin had skyrocketed amid rumors of being associated with Barron Trump, the son of incoming U.S. President Donald Trump. People quickly joined in on the coin, which reached a market cap of $460 million within hours.

However, the gains were short-lived as the token’s value plummeted after discovering no official relationship with the Trump family. Users realized that $BARRON didn’t pertain to Barron Trump, and the market correction began immediately. Those who bought in based on hype and the fear of missing out (FOMO) faced significant losses as the price dropped dramatically.

Unsubstantiated Claims Fuel SpeculationThe pump in $BARRON’s price was largely led by an unverified post from an account named “elonsfeed99,” which stated that Barron Trump or someone close to him made the token. It linked to the meme coin’s Pump.fun launchpad profile for $BARRON and a subsequent ripple effect of numerous accounts sharing and promoting the meme coin on social media. Even though there is no evidence to support the claim, the hype of the supposed Trump family association drove investors into the pool.

According to Lookonchain, someone lost nearly $1M in $BARRON in just 2 hours due to the coin’s drastic volatility, based on rumors that it was affiliated with Barron Trump.

Note that $BARRON was not launched by the #Trump family.

Currently, the only tokens officially issued by the #Trump family are $TRUMP and $MELANIA.

Meme coins are highly speculative based on social media-driven speculation. However, as it soon became clear that the meme coin had no link to Barron Trump or any official Trump enterprise, the price retraced, leaving buyers in the hype to face big losses.

The Official Trump Family Tokens: $TRUMP and $MELANIA

Notably, $TRUMP and $MELANIA are the only officially endorsed tokens by the Trump family. Donald Trump launched the $TRUMP token, and his wife, Melania Trump, launched the $MELANIA token. Both have generated much attention, with $TRUMP hitting a market cap of $13.5 billion before losing its popularity after $MELIANA was launched. They’re part of a wider trend of meme coins that have popped up as President-elect Donald Trump prepares to be sworn in.

Investors in $BARRON should be careful and not be led by speculative and unverified statements. Yet, there is opportunity in the cryptocurrency market, and there is certainly considerable danger as well. This is evident from the rise and drop of $BARRON, where traders must be keen and research before placing their money on any company.

Trump-Backed World Liberty Financial DeFi with Crypto Move

World Liberty Financial’s buying of ENS domain names and its large amount of Ethereum investments show a clear move into the crypto space. The actions of the Defi platform, supported by the former president of the United States, have raised many questions regarding its future activities, including new products that may be introduced beyond memecoins.

Such developments and Eric Trump’s hints about future projects suggest that the platform plans to become a major player in the DeFi market, thus strengthening the link between the Trump brand and blockchain
