Summary

Trump Digital Gold (GOLD) was a Solana-based token launched on August 29-30, 2026 through the compromised X account and website of Real Trump Coins (@realtrumpcoins1), a licensed Trump Organization merchandise partner. The token's market cap surged to approximately $60-66 million before collapsing by roughly 99% within minutes in what blockchain analysts and multiple outlets characterize as a suspected rug pull. No member of the Trump family endorsed the token; Eric Trump had publicly denied any forthcoming coin launch one week prior.
