- There are concerns that the meme coin craze could lead to investor exodus and the onset of a new 'crypto winter'.
There are claims that the launch of the 'Official Trump' meme coin by U.S. President-elect Donald Trump could undermine trust in the cryptocurrency market.
According to CNBC, Tyrone Ross, chairman of 401 Financial, stated on the 1st, "The current meme coin craze could delay the growth and innovation of valuable projects. New investors might also leave," pointing out that "the crypto market has become a 'money game' due to the Trump meme coin craze." Last month, President-elect Trump launched the Official Trump meme coin.
The media outlet noted, "Some experts believe that cryptocurrency trading platforms like Coinbase and Robinhood could benefit in the short term due to increased trading volumes," but also diagnosed that "the meme coin craze could undermine trust in the market in the long term."
Furthermore, they added, "The election of Trump, who has declared pro-crypto policies, was good news for many investors. However, three months after the election, the initial excitement has waned," and "there are growing concerns that a new 'crypto winter' may be approaching."
