The TRUMP memecoin recorded a sharp 13% rally on Oct. 29, after reports surfaced that its issuer, Fight Fight Fight LLC, is in talks to acquire Republic’s U.S. operations, a well-known crowdfunding platform. The move could signal a major expansion in the token’s use beyond speculation, potentially linking it to startup investment and fundraising.
According to sources familiar with the talks, if the deal goes through, the TRUMP crypto could become a conduit for early-stage funding opportunities. Republic allows retail investors to invest in startups and alternative assets, and integrating TRUMP coin into its system could drive adoption among new user segments.
The rally also came with a 50% jump in trading volume. It is reaching $2.75 billion and suggesting high trader interest and renewed momentum. The surge helped the TRUMP token to outperform leading cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin and Ethereum, which slipped 1.5% and 1.2%, respectively, during the same period.

TRUMP’s Volatile Year
The TRUMP memecoin launched in January 2025, just before US President Donald Trump’s inauguration. It initially recorded a massive rally, followed by a steep correction. Despite its strong branding, the token has dropped around 88% from its all-time high.
The project’s official website claims that it has no direct connection to political campaigns or government entities. However, several public appearances and social media posts by members of the Trump family have fueled speculation about an unofficial endorsement.
Trump Organization Crypto Revenue Surges $802M in Early 2025
The Trump Organization reported a massive revenue jump in early 2025, reaching $864 million, a 17-fold increase from $51 million the previous year. Cryptocurrency ventures drove most of the growth, generating $802 million, with the remainder coming from golf clubs, resorts, and real estate licensing deals.
It is no longer accurate to describe Trump as a real estate baron.

Crypto income came mainly from two sources: $463 million from World Liberty Financial token sales and $336 million from TRUMP meme coin sales. Eric Trump and Donald Trump Jr. promoted the tokens through investor roadshows across Europe, the Middle East, and Asia.
Foreign Investors Lead Purchases
The largest token holders were primarily overseas buyers. Of the 50 biggest wallets, 36 were linked to foreign investors, including Hong Kong-based crypto billionaire Justin Sun and Abu Dhabi’s state-controlled MGX. Notable transactions included a $100 million purchase of World Liberty Financial tokens announced by the Aqua1 Foundation in June.
That being said, the latest acquisition of Republic marks a strategic pivot for the TRUMP token, moving from meme-driven hype to utility-based adoption. By linking with a regulated crowdfunding platform, the issuer could create a bridge between retail investors and tokenized equity models, a direction that may give the coin new credibility in mainstream finance.
Market Outlook
Analysts say that while short-term price movements remain volatile, institutional and retail attention toward high-profile memecoins continues to grow. The success of this acquisition and subsequent regulatory clarity will be key to determining whether TRUMP evolves into a legitimate digital asset or remains a speculative token. At the time of writing, the TRUMP coin price was trading at $8.36, up 12.95% in 24 hours, with market activity expected to stay high amid ongoing acquisition talks.
