A majority of investors in “official” U.S. President Donald Trump’s meme token (TRUMP) are at break-even or are losing up to $1,000, according to a dashboard on Dune.

Holders in profit are roughly half as numerous. Very few have gains or losses over $10,000.

At press time, TRUMP trades at $38, nearly flat over the past 24 hours, and daily volume has dropped to $476 million.

Since TRUMP’s launch, Circle—the issuer of USDC—has minted an additional 3.5 billion USDC to provide liquidity. The stablecoin’s market cap now exceeds $51 billion.

Meanwhile, MELANIA—the meme coin from Trump’s wife—has weakened, declining 10% over the last 24 hours, trading below $4.

“TRUMP’s tokenomics are poor, but with no unlocks for three months, there’s some decent time free from added supply concerns,” David Zimmerman, a DeFi analyst at K33 Research, said in a report, according to The Block.

He pointed out that such distribution structures are “outdated,” as the market is increasingly favoring fully circulating supplies at launch.

“It’s unclear who exactly these ‘creators’ are, but Trump holds a significant financial interest in the token through CIC Digital,” Zimmerman added.
