Trump could multiply his estimated wealth if his family's conglomerate suddenly sells its substantial ownership in the token, finance professor Leonard Kostovetsky says.

The article from MSN discusses former President Donald Trump's involvement with a cryptocurrency known as a memecoin, in which he holds an 80% stake. This significant investment raises concerns among investors due to the potential for a "rug pull," a scenario where the creators of a cryptocurrency suddenly abandon the project and sell off their holdings, causing the value to plummet. If such an event were to occur with Trump's memecoin, it could theoretically increase his net worth significantly due to the initial hype and subsequent crash, but it would also likely lead to public embarrassment and potential legal scrutiny. The article highlights the risky nature of memecoins, which often lack substantial backing or utility, making them highly speculative and volatile. This situation underscores the broader issues of celebrity endorsements in the crypto space and the potential for conflicts of interest and market manipulation.
