$TRUMP Memecoin — August 2026 SEC Investigation Request
Auto-generated score, not yet verified against the scoring model. Under review — treat as indicative, not a verdict.
anchored·3wnpNK…kyWtSummary
The $TRUMP (Official Trump) memecoin launched on the Solana blockchain on January 17, 2025, two days before Donald Trump's presidential inauguration, and rapidly surged to a peak of approximately $75 before declining more than 98% to around $1.51 as of August 2026. Trump-affiliated entities — CIC Digital LLC and Fight Fight Fight LLC — retained 80% of the 1 billion token supply and have collectively earned an estimated $636 million in royalties, while approximately 988,905 retail investors accumulated losses exceeding $3.81 billion. On August 4, 2026, Senators Elizabeth Warren and Richard Blumenthal formally demanded that SEC Chairman Paul Atkins open an investigation into the token's alleged fraudulent enrichment schemes, though the SEC's own February 2025 guidance classifying memecoins as non-securities limits its enforcement authority.

This is the first formal regulatory referral specifically tied to the token's trading mechanics and is materially new evidence beyond prior congressional conflict-of-interest commentary.”
