Trump! Trump! Trump! The Sole Hot Topic on January 18th!
No one expected that, with only 3 days left in the countdown to Donald Trump's presidential inauguration, this man would make a big splash by "launching an official Meme coin," giving many people a "lucky red envelope" for the New Year! Not only that, due to the spreading momentum accumulated by Trump in the past, the heat spreading from the crypto market has even sparked lively discussions among traditional media and short video platforms. Countless people shouted Trump's name just because he not only brought about a crypto bull market but also allowed many people to "cash out and retire" with just the TRUMP Meme coin alone, earning him the title of the "President of Generosity."
In addition to the breaking news released at 10:20 on the 18th and the article "Trump Issuing Coins on His Way Out? The Year's Strongest Meme Quick Pass at $4.5 Billion" published in the first instance, Odaily Planet Daily will consolidate today's information to list the KOLs whose single-coin profits from TRUMP have exceeded 1 million U.S. dollars and the traders and KOLs who missed out on the opportunity for sudden wealth, and briefly discuss the spreading impact and lessons learned from TRUMP, for readers' reference, hoping that you and I will be on the next sudden wealth list.
Trump Buyers' Two Sides: Some Make Millions from a Single Coin, While Others Miss Out on Millions in Profit
Undoubtedly, after the emergence of TRUMP, traders with different styles will choose different trading strategies: some, upon seeing the news or TRUMP contract for the first time, chose to go ALL IN within the risk range they can afford; while others missed the opportunity to profit from TRUMP due to doubts about whether the project was officially launched, among other reasons.
Those Seemingly Lucky "Lucky Ones": KOLs with Single Coin Profits Above $1 Million
Here is a list of KOLs who have achieved "single-coin profits exceeding $1 million" relying on this one "official Trump Meme coin":

TRUMP Winners List
Here is some representative KOL-related transaction information:
No.1 0xSunNFT: Single-Coin Profit Estimated to Exceed $20 Million
As a well-known Chinese-speaking KOL and Meme Coin influencer, 0xSun can be described as the "most prominent winner" of this TRUMP official Meme Coin, successfully achieving the milestone of "single-coin profit exceeding $10 million."
After buying in around 10:15 a.m., he later tweeted on the X platform saying: YOLO. He subsequently made multiple posts, stating: "Make a judgment based on information, bet responsibly, take responsibility for yourself, you only live once." At 11:24 a.m. today, he posted an image showing a profit of $3.4 million, with a cost of approximately 3,000 SOL coins, when the total market value of TRUMP was only around $4.1 billion at that time.
At 2 p.m., he posted again when the TRUMP market value had reached $13 billion. He had already realized a profit of over 10,000 SOL coins personally, with a total profit of $10.4 million. Previously, the TRUMP market value had once exceeded $36 billion but has now fallen to around $30 billion. Based on previous data, if he had not sold, the estimated scale of 0xSun's single-coin profit would reach $28.8 million.

0x Oracle
DWF Co-founder Zac: Profits Over $5 Million

Diamond Hands King Junior: Average Buy-in of $6 for $2.5 Million, Profits Over $4.5 Million

Yuyue yuyue_chris: Individual Coin Profit Exceeds $2 Million
As a sharp-sensed Alpha trader and crypto KOL, Yuyue yuyue_chris also performed impressively in today's "TRUMP Battle." In less than 10:30 a.m., he decisively entered the market, buying nearly $160,000 worth of tokens when TRUMP's market value was only around $1 billion.

Most people entered before 12 o'clock.
Those Crypto Players Who Missed Out on Trump
While some made money, naturally, others missed out on the "grand prize."
According to Onchain Lens monitoring, a whale spent 500,000 USDC to buy 2.64 million TRUMP tokens, then sold all to receive 1.35 million USDC. Currently, the 2.64 million TRUMP tokens are worth approximately 80 million USD, undoubtedly a thigh-slapping "sell-off."
Laser Cat's post not only congratulated 0x Sun, but also bluntly stated that opportunities always exist, quietly waiting for the next one is fine. He mentioned: "Congratulations Sun brother for being awesome @0x SunNFT. This point is my sleeping time, it's a pity that I completely missed it. It has been very unfavorable recently. No matter how I buy, I lose money. But think carefully, adjust your mindset, prepare your bullets, keep an eye on the chain. Even the president is now issuing coins. Are you afraid there won't be another opportunity?"
As a meme coin trading platform commonly used by many KOLs and on-chain players, GMGN gained great attention and usage in the TRUMP craze. The team's Haze is very open-minded about not buying in. His exact words were as follows:

Haze is very real.
Anyway, life goes on, crypto never sleeps. If you missed TRUMP, there will be more meme coins appearing, and the crypto-friendly development is already a foregone conclusion.
As Eric Trump, son of Trump, confirmed the "legitimacy" of the TRUMP token, quoting crypto czar DAVID SACKS, he said: "The reign of terror against cryptocurrency is over, and America's cryptocurrency innovation is just beginning."
Anyway, the future of crypto is promising.
Of course, for ETH Maximalists, Trump's appearance is more like a heavy blow.
Trump Is the "Last Straw" for Overwhelming ETH Maximalists
According to on-chain analyst Embermonitor, possibly influenced by the surge of TRUMP and SOL, several ETH whales have been selling ETH—
@Christianeth has transferred 8,161.7 ETH (26.59 million USD) to Binance in the past 1 hour, indicating that a quarter of their on-chain assets have been swapped to SOL;
@0xVladilena transferred 5,018 ETH (16.36 million USD) to Binance 2 hours ago;
The address 0xe43...bd7 sold 5,000 weETH on-chain 3 hours ago and exchanged it for 17.25 million USDC.
Meanwhile, according to previous OKX market data, the ETH/BTC exchange rate continues to decline, dropping to as low as 0.03164, the lowest point since March 29, 2021.
On one hand, ETH's continuous decline, on the other hand, the Solana ecosystem is developing vigorously as the TRUMP trend approaches. It must be said that even the strongest ETH Maxi enthusiasts find it hard to remain indifferent.
Conclusion: Celebrating the Arrival of the "Crypto Spring" New Era with a Meme Coin
At the end of the story, it is currently observed that TRUMP has received side confirmation from individuals related to Trump, truly becoming the "official Trump Meme Coin." This also aligns with the view mentioned in the article "National Carnival, with a market share of only 2.5%, how much room is there for the Meme Coin market?" The Super Cycle of Meme Coins is expected to occur in 2025; in the future, boosted by the atmosphere of national celebration, it is entirely possible for 1-3 meme coin projects with a market cap of over 100 billion to emerge, and the overall market cap of the meme coin sector may be expected to exceed 300-500 billion USD.
Currently, TRUMP, which combines political focus and entertainment communication value, is undoubtedly one of the "best politifi Meme Coins," and its launch has become the most ceremonial "inaugural declaration" for Trump, the crypto president, before taking office. The "Crypto Spring" initiated by him is something to look forward to.
