The latest meme coin launch by incoming US President Donald Trump
seems to have upset the cryptocurrency industry with some
speculators labeling it a scam. One of them, Coffeezilla, a
YouTuber popular for exposing shady dealings, has alerted people in
view of their concerns that insiders get 80% of this TRUMP coin
supply, which means only a tiny fraction is available to the
public, which could lead to a market manipulation scenario. Related

According to Coffeezilla, this structure shows the project as more
of a “grift” than a legitimate crypto venture. Insiders Control The
Majority One major red flag is the concentration of 80% of Trump
Coin’s total supply. This disproportionate allocation means that a
select group of people, likely developers or influencers involved
with the coin, could control the vast majority of the token’s
value. For the general public, this spells trouble, as the market
could be easily manipulated by those holding most of the tokens.
Red Flags Concerning Transparency But given the fast-speed
promotion, issues of transparency revolve around actual utility.
The notion that a meme coin would carry significant weight in the
market is unsettling for some analysts, especially when it lacks
clear backing or innovation. While Trump Coin has been verified on
the Phantom Wallet, critics argue that this doesn’t necessarily
mean it’s a safe investment. My NEW Official Trump Meme is HERE!

Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) January 18, 2025 The project has
been criticized for possibly taking advantage of its investors.
Coffeezilla’s criticism focuses on the fact that such ventures
usually take advantage of the excitement and hype of popular
figures such as billionaire Donald Trump, making it easier to
encourage people to invest in tokens of little value. Critics argue
that this is more about making fast money for the insiders rather
than creating long-term value for the crypto community. Potential
Impact On Crypto Reputation Attention given to Trump Coin may also
mark a stain to the crypto sector. Projects like this, which focus
on short-term gains, often deter new investors from taking the
crypto market seriously. Related Reading: Dogecoin Bulls Eye $3 As

whole launch may grab the attention of regulators, given that
they’re keeping a close eye on meme coins more closely than ever.
It seems that this new venture will set off controversy and debate
in a digital currency landscape already inflamed by volatility and
other related factors. Coffeezilla is well-known for his stinging
exposés of purported cryptocurrency scams, such as Andrew Tate and
