Massive TRUMP Token Transfer: A $52 Million Exchange Influx Sparks Volatility

The crypto world is buzzing after a staggering 3.5 million TRUMP tokens, valued at approximately $52.66 million, were transferred to major exchanges on May 10, 2025. This monumental move, tracked by Lookonchain, has sent ripples through the meme-coin community, triggering speculation and heightened volatility.

The distribution, spread across Binance, OKX, Bybit, and Coinbase, raises questions about the intentions behind this significant transaction. Was it a strategic move to increase liquidity, or a precursor to a large-scale sell-off? The sheer scale of the transfer has market analysts and traders on high alert, meticulously monitoring order books for any signs of price fluctuation.

Adding fuel to the fire, market maker Cumberland DRW also moved 300,000 TRUMP tokens to OKX, totaling approximately $4.4 million. This further influx of tokens into exchanges, coupled with previous deposits, brings the total to over $24 million in recent days. The timing, just ahead of a major political event on May 22, 2025, has fueled speculation about a potential coordinated exit strategy by large holders.

Meanwhile, another notable event unfolded: World Liberty Financial (WLFI), a wallet linked to a political figure, purchased 1,587 ETH and 9.7 wrapped Bitcoin, totaling approximately $4.5 million. This significant investment, closely following a previous $19.58 million token deposit on April 29th, reinforces the association between WLFI and the TRUMP token, amplifying the intrigue surrounding these large-scale crypto transactions.

Despite the potential for a sell-off, the TRUMP token experienced a 2.50% increase in the last 24 hours, trading at $14.09 at the time of writing. The market cap remains near $2.85 billion, with a 24-hour volume of almost $2.77 billion. However, the price remains highly susceptible to the actions of major holders and the timing of future large transactions. The market’s attention remains firmly fixated on the exchange order books, anticipating the next significant move in this unfolding saga.
