According to blockchain data, a new Solana token named Eric Trump shot up 6,200% in just 24 hours. It sprang to life on May 16 via the Pump.fun launchpad and swelled to a market cap of 140 million. Traders piled in fast, but on‑chain detectives noticed more than 80% of the supply parked in just 10 wallets. That kind of concentration often signals a setup for a sudden collapse.

Analysis: Crypto Heats Up As $35 Billion Enters Market In Under A Month

Political Name Exploitation

Using a well‑known figure’s name can be a quick way to grab attention. Based on reports from Bubblemaps, the token’s ties to “jv7d” on Solana raised red flags. When insiders hold most of the coins, they can dump them at will. Retail investors end up holding what’s left—and that often means heavy losses.

Warning Signs On-Chain

Cluster analysis showed the top 250 holders are linked through a handful of addresses. That pattern mirrors the WOLF token, which hit 42 million before plunging to almost nothing. Analysts say these moves fit the classic rug‑pull script, where early backers cash out at the peak, then vanish.

Copycat Tokens Multiply

The same wallet, known as “BjTm,” has already launched three other Eric Trump tokens that fizzled quickly. Based on CoinMarketCap data, more than 736 imitation tokens have been pushed into the official Trump wallet space. Of those, 192 use Trump family names, and 67 claim to be “official.” Even Elon Musk’s name crops up in at least 35 of them.

TRUMP is currently trading at $12.51. Chart: TradingView

Global Political Targets

Scammers aren’t stopping with US figures. In April, the verified X account of UK MP Lucy Powell was hijacked to promote a fake Solana token. It tapped into her 70,000 followers and netted just 225, but it showed how a trusted badge can fool people.

‘Judgment Day Is Coming’—XRP Set To Explode, Analyst Warns

Investor Warning Lights

Based on this pattern, analysts urge caution. When a token’s value spikes without clear backing—and most coins sit in a few wallets—that’s a signal to step back. Blind loyalty to a name, political or otherwise, can turn into financial pain.

What Comes Next

As more political meme coins pop up, the risk grows. Every high‑profile name could become bait. Investors should check who holds the tokens, watch for rapid launches on cheap networks like Solana, and keep in mind that hype can vanish as fast as it appears.

In a space where hype often trumps fundamentals, staying alert might be the best way to stay afloat.

They say journalists never truly clock out. But for Christian, that's not just a metaphor, it's a lifestyle. By day, he navigates the ever-shifting tides of the cryptocurrency market, wielding words like a seasoned editor and crafting articles that decipher the jargon for the masses. When the PC goes on hibernate mode, however, his pursuits take a more mechanical (and sometimes philosophical) turn.

Read more

Christian's journey with the written word began long before the age of Bitcoin. In the hallowed halls of academia, he honed his craft as a feature writer for his college paper. This early love for storytelling paved the way for a successful stint as an editor at a data engineering firm, where his first-month essay win funded a months-long supply of doggie and kitty treats – a testament to his dedication to his furry companions (more on that later).

Christian then roamed the world of journalism, working at newspapers in Canada and even South Korea. He finally settled down at a local news giant in his hometown in the Philippines for a decade, becoming a total news junkie. But then, something new caught his eye: cryptocurrency. It was like a treasure hunt mixed with storytelling - right up his alley!

So, he landed a killer gig at NewsBTC, where he's one of the go-to guys for all things crypto. He breaks down this confusing stuff into bite-sized pieces, making it easy for anyone to understand (he salutes his management team for teaching him this skill).

Think Christian's all work and no play? Not a chance! When he's not at his computer, you'll find him indulging his passion for motorbikes. A true gearhead, Christian loves tinkering with his bike and savoring the joy of the open road on his 320-cc Yamaha R3. Once a speed demon who hit 120mph (a feat he vowed never to repeat), he now prefers leisurely rides along the coast, enjoying the wind in his thinning hair.

Speaking of chill, Christian's got a crew of furry friends waiting for him at home. Two cats and a dog. He swears cats are way smarter than dogs (sorry, Grizzly), but he adores them all anyway. Apparently, watching his pets just chillin’ helps him analyze and write meticulously formatted articles even better.

Here's the thing about this guy: He works a lot, but he keeps himself fueled by enough coffee to make it through the day - and some seriously delicious (Filipino) food. He says a delectable meal is the secret ingredient to a killer article. And after a long day of crypto crusading, he unwinds with some rum (mixed with milk) while watching slapstick movies.

Looking ahead, Christian sees a bright future with NewsBTC. He says he sees himself privileged to be part of an awesome organization, sharing his expertise and passion with a community he values, and fellow editors - and bosses - he deeply respects.

So, the next time you tread into the world of cryptocurrency, remember the man behind the words – the crypto crusader, the grease monkey, and the feline philosopher, all rolled into one.
