Crypto exchanges listed the TRUMP memecoin four days after its launch on average, compared to 129 days for other major memecoins, Reuters found. US President Donald Trump’s cryptocurrency venture, the Official Trump (TRUMP) memecoin, has generated multimillion-dollar gains for crypto exchanges, in addition to profits for its creators. Launched just about six months ago, the TRUMP memecoin has generated at least $172 million in trading fees for 10 crypto exchanges, including Binance, Coinbase, OKX and more, according to a Reuters report on Monday.

Tokens are a new financial wrapper, akin to the exchange-traded funds (ETFs) that debuted on US exchanges in 1993, Christopher Perkins said. Real-world asset (RWA) tokens can democratize access to investments previously inaccessible to retail traders, similar to how exchange-traded funds (ETFs) expanded retail access to financial instruments when they debuted in 1993, according to Christopher Perkins, president and managing partner of investment firm CoinFund. “I believe tokens are the new ETFs,” Perkins told Cointelegraph in an interview. The executive said tokenized RWAs, which trade 24/7 on globally accessible markets, reduce the information asymmetry that has typically kept retail investors out of private placements under existing accreditation laws. He added: Essentially, that leaves ordinary people, normal people, very little access to what are the most exciting, the most innovative companies,” he continued. Read more -
