If you’re familiar with crypto wallets and using decentralised exchanges (DEXs), the easiest way to buy the Trump memecoin may be via a Solana DEX like Meteora or Raydium.

This will require you to have a Solana wallet set up, as well as SOL or USDC tokens which you then use to purchase TRUMP.

Is Trump safe to invest in?

TRUMP was officially launched via Donald Trump’s social media accounts

However, like most memecoins, TRUMP doesn’t necessarily have any intrinsic value. While it has broken records in terms of price appreciation, it is also likely to be prone to extreme rises and falls.

In fact, after rising more than 10,000% in its first day, it then crashed from around US$75 to around US$35 within minutes.
