Altcoins linked to former US President Donald Trump are experiencing a surge in interest as political narratives and market dynamics converge. With potential interest rate cuts anticipated, September is shaping up to be a pivotal month for Trump-associated digital currencies.
In particular, three projects are emerging as potential beneficiaries of both the current market momentum and the heightened media attention surrounding Trump. The recent opening of World Liberty Financial (WLFI) for trading adds a new dimension to the Trump-crypto landscape, potentially escalating market activity in the coming weeks.
Cronos (CRO) has gained significant recognition as a Trump-related altcoin since Trump Media partnered with Crypto.com through a Special Purpose Acquisition Company (SPAC) arrangement to facilitate a treasury initiative centered around CRO. This strategic move echoes MicroStrategy’s approach to Bitcoin, indicating a movement towards institutional adoption of the token, thereby enhancing its visibility among Trump-linked cryptocurrencies.
Recent on-chain activity has displayed a bullish tendency, marked by a 0.19% decrease in exchange balances within the last week; around 18 million CRO, valued at approximately $5.17 million, have exited centralized exchanges, subsequently alleviating selling pressure. Notably, the top 100 addresses have increased their holdings by 0.1%, accumulating about 98 million CRO—roughly $28 million at present values. This trend aligns with a wider increase in whale addresses and institutional investment, suggesting strong backing for a continued uptrend.
At the time of reporting, CRO is trading close to $0.28, with the ongoing rally appearing to consolidate rather than dissipate. The uptrend remains intact as long as bullish investors can maintain support at the $0.26 level. A successful movement beyond $0.32, and potentially $0.39, may further confirm a new bullish phase, whereas a fall below $0.26 could jeopardize the positive narrative surrounding the coin.
Official Trump (TRUMP) is another noteworthy player in this category. Launched on the Solana blockchain in January 2025, the coin markets itself as the “only official Trump meme.” Following its launch, it quickly amassed billions in market capitalization, securing its status as a prominent altcoin connected to Trump.
The recent buzz surrounding World Liberty Financial and associated Trump ventures has rekindled interest in TRUMP. As of the latest updates, the token has seen an 8.5% increase over the past week, with a 5% spike occurring in just the last 24 hours. Despite trading nearly 70% below its launch price, the uptick signals a revival in speculative interest fueled by Trump-related narratives.
On technical analysis, the Money Flow Index (MFI) suggests an influx of capital as TRUMP rises from about $8 on August 25 to $9.07. Additionally, the Bull-Bear Power (BBP) has shifted in favor of buyers, indicating momentum building for possible upward movement. The immediate resistance level sits at $9.24; surpassing this threshold could lead to further gains towards $9.73 and $10.21. Conversely, a drop below $8.01 could invalidate the bullish outlook and test new lows.
Tron (TRX) also stands out among Trump-related coins due to founder Justin Sun’s substantial backing of World Liberty Financial, with a $30 million investment making him the venture’s largest benefactor, thus linking TRX closely to Trump’s expanding role in the crypto space.
From a market performance perspective, TRX has shown resilience, up 110% year-over-year and 25.2% over the past three months, currently just 21.5% shy of its all-time highs. Despite a recent 3.8% dip, the overall technical structure remains robust.
Indicators suggest a hidden bullish divergence for TRX, as it formed a higher low on August 29 while the Relative Strength Index (RSI) recorded a lower low, hinting at quiet support among buyers. Key price levels are critical—support at $0.33 needs to hold; if broken, it could lead towards $0.31. However, maintaining above $0.33 and reclaiming $0.34–$0.35 could unlock potential movement toward $0.37, inching closer to previous highs. Falling below $0.33 could undermine the bullish narrative associated with this Trump-linked altcoin.
