TRUMP and MELANIA Meme Coins Soar by Double Digits Ahead of US-China Trade Deal

2025/10/28 22:06

Many of the leading meme coins have posted price declines over the past 24 hours, but this isn’t the case for the assets related to the American president, Donald Trump, and his wife.

And while their combined market capitalization remains less than $1.5 billion, numerous analysts and industry participants believe the rally could be just getting started.

TRUMP and MELANIA Steal the Show

Official Trump (TRUMP) and Melania Meme (MELANIA) are among the top-performing cryptocurrencies today (October 28). The price of the former briefly touched $8, tapping a 20-day high. Shortly after, it retraced to the current $6.96 (according to CoinGecko’s data), representing a 10% daily increase.

MELANIA has posted even more impressive gains. It exploded to a two-week high of almost $0.15 before slipping to $0.12, marking a 25% pump for the day.

While the exact reason for the surge in meme coins associated with POTUS and his wife remains unclear, some might speculate that the upcoming US-China trade talks could be a factor. Trump and the Chinese leader, Xi Jinping, are expected to meet later this week and agree on a deal that will exclude hefty tariffs and foster a positive relationship between the two global superpowers.

The crypto community is looking forward to that meeting, and a favorable outcome will likely boost the entire digital asset sector, including meme coins like those mentioned.

Further Pumps Incoming?

TRUMP and MELANIA saw the light of day towards the end of January this year when the billionaire officially became the 47th President of the USA.

The assets entered the crypto world with a storm, and at one point, their combined market cap neared $10 billion. Currently, they are far from the glory days: TRUMP’s capitalization is around $1.3 billion, while MELANIA’s stands at less than $100 million.

Some analysts, though, think the tokens may close the gap to the record levels in the near future. X user Captain Faibik envisioned a “big pump incoming” for TRUMP, setting a price target above $11. For their part, MrsBeast DeFi predicted a 10x rally for MELANIA.

UK Looks to US to Adopt More Crypto-Friendly Approach

The post UK Looks to US to Adopt More Crypto-Friendly Approach appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. The UK and US are reportedly preparing to deepen cooperation on digital assets, with Britain looking to copy the Trump administration’s crypto-friendly stance in a bid to boost innovation.  UK Chancellor Rachel Reeves and US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent discussed on Tuesday how the two nations could strengthen their coordination on crypto, the Financial Times reported on Tuesday, citing people familiar with the matter.  The discussions also involved representatives from crypto companies, including Coinbase, Circle Internet Group and Ripple, with executives from the Bank of America, Barclays and Citi also attending, according to the report. The agreement was made “last-minute” after crypto advocacy groups urged the UK government on Thursday to adopt a more open stance toward the industry, claiming its cautious approach to the sector has left the country lagging in innovation and policy.  Source: Rachel Reeves Deal to include stablecoins, look to unlock adoption Any deal between the countries is likely to include stablecoins, the Financial Times reported, an area of crypto that US President Donald Trump made a policy priority and in which his family has significant business interests. The Financial Times reported on Monday that UK crypto advocacy groups also slammed the Bank of England’s proposal to limit individual stablecoin holdings to between 10,000 British pounds ($13,650) and 20,000 pounds ($27,300), claiming it would be difficult and expensive to implement. UK banks appear to have slowed adoption too, with around 40% of 2,000 recently surveyed crypto investors saying that their banks had either blocked or delayed a payment to a crypto provider.  Many of these actions have been linked to concerns over volatility, fraud and scams. The UK has made some progress on crypto regulation recently, proposing a framework in May that would see crypto exchanges, dealers, and agents treated similarly to traditional finance firms, with…
