📉 The "Trump Trade" hasn't been kind to crypto



According to the chart, a $10,000 investment made on Inauguration Day would be worth just $5,700 in BTC today (-43%) and $5,200 in ETH (-48%).

The real carnage happened in altcoins:

🔻 XRP: -66%
🔻 SOL: -76%
🔻 DOGE: -78%
🔻 AVAX: -82%
🔻 ADA / SUI: -85%
🔻 DOT: -86%
🔻 ENA: -91%
🔻 APT: -92%

And the winners?

🥇 TRUMP: -97%
🥈 MELANIA: -99%

Turns out the most successful inauguration-related investment wasn't buying the memes — it was selling them.

🤷 Crypto investors spent months waiting for the "pro-crypto administration pump" and got an advanced lesson in exit liquidity instead.
TRUMP-2.58%
MELANIA2.38%
BTC-2.53%
ETH-3.02%

The most ironic thing is that BTC and ETH in this chart are actually considered "stable assets."

Wait, ENA and APT -90%+? I thought -70% was the bottom line.

This lesson's tuition is a bit expensive, but I really learned what exit liquidity means.

So Trump Coin is the real hedging tool? Just a contrarian indicator.

The end goal of crypto natives is meme coins, and the end goal of meme coins is -99%

Looking back now, the people who sold coins on January 20th are the true prophets.
