, has soared by 46% in the last seven days, pushing its market capitalization to $1.67 billion. This surge comes as the easing of trade tensions between the U.S. and China sparked a wave of optimism throughout the cryptocurrency sector, according to a report from Coinotag

. The token’s recovery follows a period of turbulence linked to Trump’s tariff threats, which had previously triggered a record $19 billion in liquidations in mid-October. Recent positive developments, such as a trade framework agreement between the U.S. and China and a separate accord with South Korea, have eased concerns about a potential trade war, boosting risk appetite and lifting the broader crypto market, Coinotag reported

The TRUMP token’s rally is part of a wider upswing in the crypto market.

advanced by 3.6% and 3.7%, respectively. Experts attribute the gains to a reduction in uncertainty surrounding tariffs and global tensions. "Given TRUMP’s central role in the president’s ‘PolitiFi’ narrative, it’s expected that the token would rebound after sustained downward pressure," commented Jasper De Maere, a strategist at Wintermute. The token’s price action has closely tracked shifts in Trump’s public approval, as shown by prediction market data.

This relief rally follows a turbulent period for crypto projects linked to Trump. A new lawsuit claims that Meteora co-founder Benjamin Chow masterminded a $100 million fraud involving tokens connected to public figures such as Melania Trump and Argentina’s President Javier Milei, according to CryptoPotato

. The MELANIA and LIBRA meme coins, promoted by Trump and Milei, were among 15 tokens accused of price manipulation through artificial scarcity and paid marketing. Blockchain analysis firms have since traced profits to insider wallets, complicating Meteora’s efforts to distance itself from the controversy.

Ongoing trade talks between the U.S. and China, which postponed Trump’s proposed 100% tariffs on Chinese goods, have become a key focus for crypto traders. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent called the agreement "significant," highlighting that it avoids "symbolic" blacklisting and paves the way for discussions on rare earth minerals, according to a VT Markets live update

. The deal, expected to be finalized during Trump’s meeting with Xi Jinping in South Korea, has already fueled optimism in trade-sensitive sectors like industrial ETFs and soybean contracts.

Trump’s involvement in crypto has seen remarkable growth this year. Benzinga, citing Reuters, reported that the Trump Organization generated $802 million from crypto ventures in the first half of 2025, surpassing its traditional business income

, a company tied to Trump, distributed 8.4 million tokens to early adopters, while Trump Media’s new prediction platform, Truth Predict, seeks to capitalize on social media speculation. These initiatives have made the TRUMP token a key indicator of both political sentiment and broader economic trends.

Despite recent gains, the TRUMP token is still down 88.6% from its record high of $73.43. Analysts warn that increased regulatory attention and geopolitical uncertainties could bring renewed volatility. Nevertheless, technical analysis points to ongoing bullish momentum, with major resistance at $7.00 and $8.00, as reported by Crypto.news
