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 the potential risks associated with former President Donald Trump's significant involvement in a new cryptocurrency called "Trump Coin" or "Trump Memecoin." Trump reportedly holds an 80% stake in this memecoin, which has raised concerns among investors and financial analysts about the possibility of a "rug pull" - a scenario where the creators of a cryptocurrency suddenly abandon the project and take the invested funds with them. Such an event could severely damage Trump's reputation, especially given his high-profile status. The article highlights that while Trump's endorsement might initially boost the coin's popularity, the lack of transparency, the speculative nature of memecoins, and Trump's substantial ownership could lead to significant financial risks for investors. Furthermore, the involvement of a figure like Trump in such a volatile and often unregulated market segment is seen as a red flag, potentially deterring serious investors and inviting regulatory scrutiny.
