I. Project introduction
Melania (MELANIA) is a Meme coin launched by US First Lady Melania Trump, inspired by her personal image and the Trump family's attempts in the
cryptocurrency field. The emergence of this project is like a collision of culture and encryption technology, with a hint of humor, but also allows people to see the profound impact of celebrity effects in the market.
MELANIA's token economy model design is simple and direct. The team holds tokens for a lock-up period of only 30 days, and then gradually unlocks them within a year, forming a sharp contrast with the previous TRUMP project. Although this rule design enhances token liquidity, it also raises concerns about long-term stability in the community. In the total token supply, the team holds 35% of the shares, and the rest is used for community development, liquidity support, and treasury management.
Since its launch, MELANIA's market performance has once ignited the cryptocurrency circle, with a market value quickly exceeding 10 billion US dollars. However, as the heat fades, the market begins to reflect on the sustainability of the project. Regardless of the outcome, the launch of MELANIA has injected new vitality into the Meme coin market and made people re-examine the commercial potential of combining celebrity IPs with cryptoassets.
II. Project highlights
1. Celebrity effect and market attention
MELANIA is the official Meme coin launched by former US First Lady Melania Trump, and also the Dragon 2 token of Trump's market. Thanks to the celebrity effect of the Trump family, the project quickly became the focus of market attention after its launch. In a short period of time, the total market value soared to $7.30 billion, surpassing many traditional projects in popularity, demonstrating the huge influence of celebrity IPs in the field of encryption.
2. The transaction data is impressive, and the on-chain effect is significant
Only 2 hours after the project went live, the DEX transaction volume of MELANIA exceeded 700 million US dollars, and the surge in on-chain transaction volume led to the continuous increase of transaction priority fees, which once caused
the USDT on the
Solana chain to become unanchored and caused short-term transaction confirmation difficulties. This phenomenon not only reflects the popularity of the project itself, but also reflects its profound impact on the on-chain ecology and fund liquidity.
3. Continuing the popularity of TRUMP and accepting FOMO funds
After the TRUMP coin caused a market frenzy and created a wealth-creating effect, the launch of MELANIA seamlessly followed the high FOMO sentiment in the market. As the second Meme coin of the Trump family, MELANIA cleverly seized the market's continued attention to celebrity tokens, further consolidating its position as a hot asset, while providing investors with new speculation and investment opportunities.
III. Market value expectations
MELANIA's governance token $MELANIA has a total of 1 billion tokens, and the release ratio during TGE is 25% (i.e. 250 million tokens). The current unit price is 5.4 dollars, and the fully diluted market value is about 5.40 billion dollars. Referring to the market performance of the benchmark projects Trump's official Meme coin $TRUMP, classic frog Meme coin $PEPE, and classic Shiba Inu Meme coin $SHIB, MELANIA, as the second Meme coin launched by the Trump family, quickly gained market attention through celebrity effects and market linkage, showing strong explosive potential.
IV. Economic model
Total supply of MELANIA: 1 billion pieces
TGE (first token publish) release ratio:
25% of the total supply (250 million) will be released during TGE, mainly for public distribution and liquidity support.
Token allocation is as follows:
Team (35%) has a total of 350,000,000 pieces. After locking for 30 days, 10% (3% of the total supply) will be unlocked. The remaining 90% will be unlocked linearly on a monthly basis from the 2nd to the 13th month, releasing approximately 2.25% of the total supply each month.
Public Distribution (15%) with a total of 150,000,000 pieces, fully released during TGE, for initial market trading and circulation.
Liquidity (10%) total amount is 100,000,000 tokens, fully released during TGE to support market liquidity. Part of the funds are allocated to Meteora's liquidity pool (1.62%).
The total amount of community rewards (20%) is 200,000,000, which motivates community participation and ecological development. The release plan and distribution details have not been disclosed yet.
The total amount of Treasury (20%) is 200,000,000 pieces, which are used for long-term development and reserve support of the project. It is currently in a locked state.
Token Utility is as follows:
According to the project's official website, the Melania meme is a digital collection designed to express support and participation in the values embodied by the MELANIA symbol, as well as related artworks, and is not intended to be or become the subject of any type of investment opportunity, investment contract, or securities. The project is not related to any political movement or any political office or government entity.
V. Team financing
Team information
MELANIA is a Meme coin project initiated by US First Lady Melania Trump. Although the specific development team information has not been made public, judging from the rapid launch and efficient marketing activities of the project, there may be a team behind it that is good at blockchain technology development and operation. However, the current team background is less disclosed, and there are still many doubts about its development strength and long-term planning from the outside world.
In terms of financing
As of now, the MELANIA project has not disclosed any traditional financing information, relying more on the market liquidity after the token is published.
Ⅵ.Warning of latent risk
1. The MELANIA team holds 35% of the tokens, and the lock-up period is only 30 days, followed by gradual unlocking within 13 months. This short unlocking period may cause the team to sell the tokens quickly, which in turn triggers market selling pressure and increases the risk of token price fluctuations. Investors need to pay attention to the potential impact of the team's position movement on the market price.
2. In the field of Meme coins, the impact of market sentiment changes on token prices is particularly obvious. MELANIA attracted a large amount of FOMO funds in the early stage, but as the heat gradually fades, investor sentiment may quickly reverse, leading to a sharp drop in prices. In addition, due to the highly speculative market and
high price volatility, investors need to be vigilant against losses caused by short-term mood swings.
