Inside $MELANIA’s Meteoric Rise: Pre-Launch Purchases Spark Controversy

The MELANIA cryptocurrency token surged by over 100% within a mere hour following its pre-launch acquisition by a select group of digital wallets, prompting questions about insider trading and market manipulation. Financial Times analysis reveals that these wallets purchased $2.6 million worth of tokens just minutes before Melania Trump’s official announcement, then rapidly sold off most of their holdings for over $90 million in profit. 24 accounts accounted for 16.7 million of the total 200 million MELANIA tokens available at launch, resulting in a surge of market value and a rapid rise in price.
