Cryptocurrencies: Bitcoin under pressure, Trump and Melania’s memecoins take a plunge

Bitcoin dropped roughly 5% in the morning, stabilizing at around $104,000 by midday

Newsroom January 21 03:57

The popular cryptocurrency Bitcoin and several smaller cryptos faced pressure on Tuesday, reversing their strong performance from Monday. This comes as the initial optimism surrounding cryptocurrencies, sparked by the inauguration of President Donald Trump, began to wane in the investment community.

Trump’s new memecoin, launched last week and symbolizing the new U.S. President, plunged by as much as 22% within 24 hours, according to data from CoinGecko. Meanwhile, the memecoin representing the First Lady, Melania Trump, collapsed by 58% in a single day.
