This week in East 8 Time, the Meme coin project TRUMP team released the next stage development plan against the backdrop of a weak overall market and cautious funding sentiment, once again bringing this subject into the spotlight. According to multiple Chinese media outlets, including Odaily Planet Daily, the team stated it would unlock no more than 5% of the total token supply for future months’ ecological investment and growth plans. Some reports also mentioned statements like “the total scale of the yield incentive plan exceeds 10 million USD,” but these financial details are currently still at the stage of media quotations and need verification. Standing at this juncture, TRUMP is clearly attempting to answer a larger question: how to transform a short-term Meme symbol centered on emotion and speculation into a "long-term asset" supported by an ecosystem and cash flow imagination.
The Gamble of Turning Speculative Chips into Ecological Chips
● The early market narrative of TRUMP, like most Meme projects, relied more on topic engagement, social media propagation, and emotional fluctuations to drive price. During the last heat cycle, it was primarily viewed as a high Beta speculative chip, difficult to escape the label of "price fluctuations dictated by emotion." This model can amplify upward elasticity when liquidity is abundant, but it also reveals limitations when the macro environment tightens and risk appetite declines, exposing the lack of fundamental support that is difficult to resist continuous sell pressure.
● At the current stage of decreased trading activity and oscillation in mainstream assets, the TRUMP team chose to release a "development plan," essentially reshaping expectations at an emotional low point. On one hand, there is potential market demand for new stories and narratives, especially as assets beyond Bitcoin and Ethereum begin to vie for attention; on the other hand, the team is also utilizing a relatively calm price window to reduce the suspicion that the policy could be interpreted as a mere "pump" or unloading, thereby gaining greater interpretative space for shifting the narrative to ecological construction.
● By linking part of the unlocking tokens, which should constitute secondary market selling pressure, to “yield plans, ecological investments, liquidity arrangements,” and other medium to long-term constructions, the intention is to reshape negative supply factors into positive growth chips. By clearly labeling this portion of tokens as “for future months’ growth plans,” the team seeks to signal to the market: these chips will not simply flow to sell-off but be locked in longer-term ecological arrangements, thus providing a narrative tool for transitioning the project from “emotion coin” to “ecological coin.”
5% Unlock Tokens: The Game of Sell Pressure and Growth
● According to a report by Odaily Planet Daily, the TRUMP team plans to utilize no more than 5% of the total token supply for unlocking, to be gradually injected into growth and ecological construction plans over the "next few months." Although the specific timeline and linear release pace have not yet been made public, the "5% limit" itself constitutes a clear scale boundary, reflecting the team’s desire to control dilution pacing compared to unlimited unlocking or large one-off releases, establishing a predictable supply cap framework for the market.
● Utilizing unlocking tokens for ecological investment and liquidity management means these chips will no longer merely enter the secondary market but will prioritize serving market-making arrangements, incentive plans, and potential application construction. In the short term, the new circulation will still be interpreted by some investors as a potential source of sell pressure, amplifying concerns over price volatility; however, from a medium to long-term logic, if these tokens can indeed enhance buying and selling board structures and incubate real use cases, they are expected to build a firmer liquidity base and value expectation support for TRUMP.
● In the current market environment, which is highly sensitive to "unlocking," any new supply events can easily be amplified into "signals of a crash." If TRUMP wants to cushion this fear, it needs to work on transparency and path design: including pre-disclosing token usage principles, publicly updating the major funding flows of the growth plan, and regularly updating execution progress, so the market can track the entire process from "team books" to "specific uses" for the unlocking portion, thereby reducing the imagination space for “black box operations” and mitigating purely emotional sell impulses.
Yield Plans and Liquidity Layout: A New Path for Token Holders
● Around the upcoming yield and liquidity plan, the TRUMP team's intention is to guide token holders from high-frequency short-term trading to partially migrating toward the behavioral model of "holding tokens to participate in yield distribution." By setting yield incentives and encouraging liquidity provision or participation in specific mechanisms, the project is essentially adding a "time value" to the tokens: the longer the participation in ecology and liquidity, the greater the theoretical return, thereby weakening the single "buy—pump—sell" gameplay and extending the stay time of chips within the protocol.
● Multiple media have mentioned that "the total scale of incentives exceeds 10 million USD," providing the market with an intuitive reference for the funding scale, symbolizing the team's willingness to pay resources for transformation. However, it should be emphasized that this figure is still classified as a media quotation and unverified information, yet even so, such statements still release signals at the narrative level: the project hopes to exchange a relatively considerable incentive pool for user and liquidity long-term adhesion.
● Under the overall framework of professional market-making and liquidity optimization, TRUMP seeks to reduce extreme spikes in volatility through more detailed order book management and fund allocation, enhancing the depth of orders at key price points. For any Meme asset attempting to move toward ecologicalization, stable and capable market depth for accommodating large transactions is the "room temperature environment" for future application scenarios and institutional funding. If this inventory and liquidity layout can significantly improve price sensitivity to large buys and sells, it would help reserve a more friendly market foundation for any potential future applications, collaborations, or on-chain activities.
Narrative Competition in a Dismal Market
● In a phase where Bitcoin and Ethereum are experiencing oscillation and the overall trend is low, funds are beginning to consciously seek opportunities beyond mainstream assets, with some investors diverting attention toward more elastic Meme and small-cap projects. TRUMP's choice to tell the "ecological" story at this moment is advantageous as the competing narratives are still relatively scarce and the attention cost is low, allowing it to occupy mental space before rotation fully starts; however, the risk is that if the overall market cap continues to shrink and funds avoid high-risk assets, even a well-constructed narrative may face the awkward situation of "telling a good story but receiving no incremental funds to buy in."
● Statements from Johann Kerbrat, head of Robinhood's crypto division, indicate that some crypto investors view this period as a “bottom fishing opportunity,” while at the same time, actions from mining companies like Bitdeer reflect a cautious or even pessimistic attitude toward future trends. This drastic macro-level divergence makes TRUMP’s actions particularly prominent: on one side, confident capital in the future cycle attempts to layout highly elastic assets in advance, while on the other side, entities highly sensitive to downside risks are accelerating their withdrawal.
● With multiple Chinese crypto media focusing on reporting the TRUMP development plan, the speed and coverage of information dissemination have been significantly amplified. For a narrative-driven Meme project, how to utilize this round of exposure to seize the next rotational protagonist position among numerous “candidate stories” will depend on whether the team can continue to provide clear and verifiable execution feedback. If subsequent progress can be continuously tracked and amplified by the media, TRUMP’s "ecological" label is expected to be reinforced on a larger scale, rather than merely remaining a one-time news event.
Meme Moving Toward Long-Termism: Between Dreams and Reality
● Placing TRUMP’s token usage, yield incentives, and inventory management within the broader Meme track reveals two diverging paths: one remains at the "pure emotion coin" stage, completely relying on hot topics and emotions to boost short-term, with narrative longevity often highly unstable; the other begins attempting to add practicality and sustainability to the Meme label through ecological construction, application scenarios, and cash flow distribution. TRUMP is attempting to play the role of the latter, using limited unlocking shares and incentive resources to build a transitional bridge from emotion to ecology.
● Under this ecological narrative, different participants face markedly different interests: the project team can extend narrative life under the guise of “under construction,” gaining more time for trial and error; early holders gain a new path to obtain premiums through yields and potential application dividends beyond short-term volatility; while new incoming funds must factor in more complex variables when assessing valuations— not only needing to judge emotional cycles and game structures but also evaluate the probability of ecological realization, cash flow sustainability, and equity in incentive distribution.
● For investors, TRUMP’s development plan is more of a "story being written" rather than a validated business model. There is often a significant gap between information disclosure and execution implementation, and any description regarding funding sources, incentive pace, and specific applications needs ongoing verification through actual progress in the following timeline. Continually tracking the specific utilization of unlocked tokens, the real issuance scale of the yield plan, and whether the team adheres to established commitments amid market fluctuations will serve as key observation indicators for judging whether this attempt to transition from "Meme to long-termism" can succeed.
Short-Term Emotional Coin or New Narrative Standard Bearer
From the currently disclosed information, the core of the TRUMP development plan lies in: using a limited unlocking share of no more than 5% of the total tokens, alongside income and incentive arrangements whose scale is yet to be confirmed, attempting to complete the puzzle of “ecology and cash flow imagination” for a project originally centered on speculation. Within this framework, tokens are no longer merely vehicles for price fluctuations but are endowed with multiple roles of participating in yields, supporting liquidity, and promoting ecological construction, attempting to build a long-term narrative for the project that transcends short-term speculation.
Whether this plan can ultimately succeed hinges on several dimensions: whether the unlocking pace is restrained and avoids central releases during liquidity weakness; whether fund usage remains sufficiently transparent to allow the market to track each “growth expenditure”; and whether TRUMP can genuinely cultivate real users and practical applications willing to stay long-term during the overall cooler cycles. If these links experience significant disconnection, the ecological narrative may be reinterpreted as a finely packaged “sell pressure management.”
If TRUMP can steadily advance according to plan in the coming months, maintaining price structure while delivering visible results in yield and applications, it may become a reference template for the next generation of Meme projects: introducing ecological and cash flow dimensions without abandoning narrative tension, extending its life curve. Conversely, if this round of betting ultimately falters, it will not only deepen the market’s stereotype of "Meme ultimately cannot escape the fate of speculation" but may also pose a higher trust barrier for successors in narrating the "ecological Meme" story.
