Most Holders Face Billions in Losses as Token Crashes

The world of crypto can be full of big wins and big losses. A new look at blockchain numbers shows that many people who bought Donald Trump’s memecoin are now down a lot of money. In total, these buyers have lost around 3.8 billion dollars together.

Who Lost Money and Who Made It?

Out of 1.48 million wallets that bought the TRUMP token since it started in January 2025, about two thirds are losing money. That is nearly 989,000 wallets sitting on losses. On the other side, around 492,000 wallets are in profit, and they have gained more than 4 billion dollars combined.

The big winners are the people who bought very early, when the token price was under one dollar. The price then shot up to almost 75 dollars in just two days. Later buyers who came in at higher prices have seen their money shrink fast.

Current Token Price and Market Value

Today the TRUMP token trades near 1.79 dollars. This is a drop of about 96 percent from its highest point. The total market value now sits at 425 million dollars, far below the nearly 15 billion dollars it reached at its peak. Even with all the trading, the gains and losses across every wallet almost cancel out to a small net gain of 236 million dollars.

Right now 722,000 wallets still hold the token. Their combined holdings are worth 465 million dollars. Since launch, around 71 billion dollars has moved through the token in trades.

Trump’s Crypto Ties and Recent Comments

Trump once spoke against crypto but changed his view during the 2024 race. He promised to turn the United States into the crypto capital of the world. He has kept his links to crypto projects even after becoming president again. Trump has said there is nothing wrong with the money he earned from these businesses. He told a news channel he did nothing illegal and did not know the full size of his holdings. He also said he gave daily control of his companies to his two oldest sons before taking office.

World Liberty Financial Token Also Drops

Another project tied to Trump and his family is World Liberty Financial. Its WLFI token was first sold at low prices in an ICO. Later it started trading on the open market at around 29 cents and reached 33 cents. Now it trades near 5.6 cents, down more than 80 percent from its high. Out of 26,663 wallets tracked on the secondary market, 85 percent are losing money, with total losses near 83 million dollars.

Why the Big Losses Happened

The wider crypto market has been weak. Bitcoin fell about 50 percent from its record high above 126,000 dollars set in October. The whole sector has been in a slump through the first half of 2026. This made the drop in TRUMP and WLFI even steeper for late buyers.

Early buyers took most of the gains while later retail investors faced the biggest losses. This pattern is common in fast-moving memecoins where price moves are extreme.

What This Means for Crypto Buyers

Numbers like these remind everyone that crypto prices can change very fast. Most people who bought the TRUMP token after the first hours are now holding losses. Only a small group that entered early captured the real upside. The same story appears with the WLFI token, where most secondary market buyers are underwater.

Anyone thinking about memecoins should understand these risks before putting money in. Prices can rise quickly but can also fall just as fast, leaving many holders with big losses.
