Highlights major retail investor losses in politically branded crypto assets amid relaxed U.S. regulatory oversight.
Crypto analytics firm Nansen found that nearly 1 million buyers of President Donald Trump's $TRUMP memecoin lost a combined $3.8 billion as of end of June 2026, representing roughly two out of three investors. The coin was trading at $1.69 on Sunday, down 98% from its peak of $75.35.
According to a Nansen analysis reported by The New York Times, 988,905 accounts lost money on the $TRUMP memecoin as of late June 2026, with total losses reaching $3.8 billion. The findings are based on publicly visible blockchain transactions. Trump launched the memecoin three days before his January 2025 inauguration. By early July 2026, the token had fallen to $1.69, nearly 98% below its all-time high of $75.35. In a recent financial disclosure, Trump reported earning $636 million from $TRUMP, representing nearly half of the $1.4 billion he made from the crypto industry in 2025. Trump also co-founded World Liberty Financial with his sons; its $WLFI token has also declined sharply in value. Under the current administration, the SEC has stated it will not regulate memecoins as securities and has dropped several lawsuits against crypto companies. A White House spokesperson stated, 'President Trump proudly made the United States the crypto capital of the world.'
