President-elect Donald Trump promised a crypto-friendly administration. Days before taking office a second time, he began selling a new cryptocurrency. Named $TRUMP, the project is a meme coin, a type of crypto whose value is based largely on the popularity of internet memes.

"The reign of terror against crypto is over, and the beginning of innovation in America for crypto has just begun," Sacks said, speaking on Friday at the so-called crypto ball event, intended to drive support for Trump among the crypto community and demonstrate its value to the incoming administration.
