- TRUMP Token Slides as Democratic Sweep Raises Probe Fears — this brief
The official Trump token, known as TRUMP, fell sharply after Democrats took control of both chambers of the US Congress in the midterm elections. Cryptopolitan reported that the asset was trading near $1.27 after losing more than 15% over 24 hours. The live data shows a subsequent price of $1.25, representing a 17.55% daily decline and a 24.95% decline over seven days, with TRUMP’s market capitalization at $352.41 million.
Cointelegraph said the selloff occurred alongside warnings from Democrats for technology executives to prepare for subpoenas. The outlet also reported that the newly empowered majority was signaling fresh investigations into Trump’s business dealings, connecting the token’s weakness to a broader shift in the political environment surrounding the Trump brand.
Both outlets describe TRUMP as a notable market laggard in a generally stronger session. Cointelegraph identified the official Trump and World Liberty Financial tokens as the two biggest losers among the top 100 cryptocurrencies on Wednesday, even as 
Bitcoin and Ether advanced. Cryptopolitan focused specifically on the official token’s decline and its move to a new all-time low of $1.22.
The broader crypto market presented a contrasting backdrop. Total market capitalization stood at $2.76 trillion, the overall market was broadly higher, and Bitcoin gained 4.12% over 24 hours. The Fear & Greed Index registered 50, categorized as Neutral. The divergence between those gains and TRUMP’s double-digit losses highlights the weakness specific to the politically linked token rather than a market-wide downturn.
The immediate point of interest is whether congressional investigations translate into concrete subpoenas or other formal action, and whether TRUMP can recover from its new record low. Its live price of $1.25 remains close to the $1.22 low reported by Cryptopolitan, while the $352.41 million market capitalization and continued comparison with stronger major assets frame the scale of the reaction to the political development.
Since this brief published about 2 hours ago, Official Trump (TRUMP) has moved from $1.25 to $1.28 — +2.40%.
The chart plots TRUMP's price: grey is the move before this brief published, the vertical dashed line marks the moment it published, the horizontal dashed line is the price then, and the coloured area is the move since — from TLT's market data (daily resolution).

At today's peer-to-peer rate, 1 TRUMP ≈ ₦1,770.12 (about $1.28), down 15.8% over 24 hours. The naira itself trades about 2.7% above the official rate on the P2P market, so a Nigerian buyer's effective cost differs from the headline dollar price.
