Who Is Controlling the TRUMP Token? 86.9% Whale Exit, Project Team's Alt Account Cash Out $112 Million
Original Article Title: "Data Retrospective: TRUMP Token Top Holders' Holdings Changed in the Past Nearly 3 Months, 86.9% of Top Holders Liquidated Their Holdings, Some Holding a Loss of Over $30 Million"
Original Article Author: Frank, PANews
As the peak creation of the meme coin, the launch of the TRUMP token triggered extreme FOMO in the market and attracted many large holders. However, with the overall silence of the MEME market and the successive exposure of the insider team, TRUMP's price plummeted from a peak of $75 to a low of $7.2, a drop of over 90%. On April 18, the TRUMP token saw a 4% token unlock, and the market estimated that this would intensify the token's panic and lead to a further decline. On the other hand, on April 20, news emerged that Trump plans to host a dinner for TRUMP token holders. With a combination of positive and negative factors, the TRUMP token seems to have started to stabilize and rebound.
Previously, PANews conducted an in-depth analysis of the TRUMP token's holder distribution (related reading: "The Wealth Truth of TRUMP Token: Top Holders Compete in the Arena, Average Purchase of $590,000 per Person, Addresses Buying $1.09 Million in 1 Minute"), three months have passed. How do the large holders stand in terms of gains and losses now? What new changes have occurred in the distribution of TRUMP tokens among holders?
Even Large Holders Couldn't Withstand the Plunge, 86.9% Have Liquidated Their Holdings
Comparing the overall data, TRUMP's large holders have experienced very frequent turnover in the past three months. Compared to the data on January 20, among the top 1000 holders, 86.9% of large holders chose to liquidate their tokens, totaling 48 million tokens liquidated, accounting for 24% of the total circulation.

As of April 21, data shows that the top 1000 addresses hold approximately 98.51% of TRUMP tokens, an increase of 3.68% from 95.83% on January 20. The data above indicates that there has been significant turnover of TRUMP tokens and chips seem to have become more concentrated during the trough.

In the past three months, among the newly added large holder addresses, Robinhood has become a prominent newcomer in terms of holdings with an increase of 1.44% in token holdings over three months. Additionally, U.S.-focused trading platform addresses such as Crypto.com, Meteora, have seen a significant increase in holdings. Among individual large holders, many of them entered the market at the end of January when TRUMP's price was at its peak, and are continuously adding to their positions after being trapped, but overall, they are experiencing significant losses. In terms of token holdings, these holding addresses have bought 12.2% of the tokens after January 20.
Among the addresses of whales who continue to hold, the development address of the token has increased its holdings by about 1.38 million tokens. However, most of these tokens were transferred back from other smaller addresses for consolidation and not for additional purchases.
As for the addresses that have been liquidating their holdings, according to PANews observations, many top whales started buying around January 18th and chose to liquidate before February 1st, mostly with significant profits.
Overall, it appears that the early profit-taking whales of TRUMP have mostly exited. Many of the newly added addresses are whales who bought at multiple high points after January 20th, getting stuck at high prices. However, from their trading behavior, many whales seem to remain optimistic about the later stages of TRUMP coin and are consistently increasing their positions.
Some Exit with $25 Million Profit, While Others Get Rekt with $33.66 Million Loss

Among the whales who successfully exited their positions, the address with the largest profit should be 2Fe47zbh8svDNGNehFy1NY8bsjQNtomvKFuq1jNgWSkv (referred to as "2Fe47"). This address received 25 million TRUMP tokens from the founding address before TRUMP started trading. It immediately sold them on the market. It later received another 27 million tokens from the address 5e2qR and sold them again, totaling over $112 million. Finally, it consolidated the remaining tokens back to the founding address 5e2qR. As of January 20th, this address held over 1 million tokens, but it has now emptied all holdings. Based on the transaction history, this address appears to be a small address controlled by the TRUMP token project team.
Another whale, 3AWDTDGZiW8joyfA52LKL7GUWLoKBCBUBLUE5JoWgBCu, started accumulating TRUMP shortly after its launch on January 18th. They spent $78.55 million on purchases and ultimately sold for $103 million, making a profit of $25.17 million. Their last entry was between January 25th and January 27th when they thought TRUMP had hit a low point. They invested $12.78 million to build their position but eventually liquidated all holdings for $9.23 million on February 2nd as they saw no end to the price decline. Overall, this address still made significant gains from the TRUMP token.

There is another whale who started buying TRUMP tokens aggressively from various exchanges around January 20th, spending a total of $45.73 million to acquire 1.11 million tokens at an average cost of around $41. They sold 300,000 tokens at $17.6 on February 7th but still hold 810,000 tokens. As of now, they are experiencing an unrealized loss of approximately $33.66 million, with a loss percentage of 73%. Among the newly added whales, this address holds the highest single loss amount.
Coincidentally, the user of the address 6qgBGeZgPyxdobeHhcNtAqVe927zodpiuoufhwGN8BhP has been engaging in similar transactions to the above address, starting on January 20 by accumulating coins through several associated addresses, spending a total of 16.67 million US dollars before and after. Currently, they still hold 6 million US dollars worth of tokens, with a loss exceeding 10 million US dollars.
The drastic fluctuation of the TRUMP token, like a "reality show" in the cryptocurrency market, has not only showcased the rags-to-riches myth of meme coin speculation but also revealed the harsh reality of high-leverage gambling. From the precise cash-outs of early whales to the subsequent entrapment of bagholders, the winners and losers in this game have been clearly delineated by the market. Although Trump's "banquet endorsement" has temporarily injected rebound momentum into the token, the lingering shadows of highly concentrated chips and alleged project manipulation remain.
The current TRUMP token, seemingly experiencing a respite after the exhaustion of negative news, still remains firmly under the influence of celebrity effect and market sentiment resonance. For retail investors, this roller-coaster-like market movement is undoubtedly a risk-education lesson: in the battlefield of meme coins lacking fundamental support, even with the endorsement of "top-tier traffic," it may only be a gorgeous coat for capital extraction.
