Once again, fantasy surpasses reality as far as Donald Trump is concerned. Two days before Trump is reinstated as president of the United States, he has launched a memecoin that in the market has been priced at 17 billion US dollars. According to Trump's own X/Twitter account, this is an official memenoin for Trump. The official website also writes that Trump Memes should serve as a support for Trump and his ideals, but are not a financial investment. Trump and his sons also launched their own cryptocurrency last fall, World Liberty Finance, which is not fully subscribed. Memecoins are in many ways a cultural phenomenon within crypto and have grown to a market capitalization of over 120 billion USD. As always with Donald Trump, it may be okay to make a stand on whether it's the politician or businessman Trump talking. https://www.kaupr.io/en-us/news/new-trump-coin-priced-at-billions-of-dollars

Trump and Musk becoming memenoins has become a fascinating phenomenon within crypto, with Trump AI Agent being the newest coin, launched this weekend. This phenomenon reflects the memecoin mania, fueled by a mix of fandoms, parody, speculation and, unfortunately, scams. It is still not clear in which category Trump AI Agent falls, having reached a trading volume of over US$10 million after being launched over the weekend. There is also no information that this is a Trump-backed token, although there are now several Trump coins that Trump and his son Barron Trump are behind. https://www.kaupr.io/en-us/news/trump-becomes-both-an-ai-agent-and-a-memecoin

Troubled crypto and financial markets after a positive start to the year After a promising start to 2025, crypto and financial markets have become more volatile, impacted by strong jobs data in the US and diminished hopes for interest rate cuts. Investors' appetite for risk-based assets has waned, both in crypto and traditional finance. https://www.kaupr.io/en-us/news/troubled-crypto-and-financial-markets-after-a-positive-start-to-the-year

66% of respondents in a Reuter global survey watch short news videos every week — but two-thirds of that viewing still takes place on platforms like Instagram. TikTok and YouTube. Publishers like The Economist, NYT & Washington Posf are trying to change that. https://www.niemanlab.org/2024/12/news-outlets-push-vertical-video-to-the-homepage/
