Trader gives all his profit back and loses $21M with TRUMP amid tariffs crash

A cryptocurrency trader who had amassed over $11 million in profits with TRUMP memecoin has given it all back, accumulating more than $21 million in losses amid the tariffs crash . This weekend, Donald Trump started a trade war by implementing tariffs against China, Canada, and Mexico, crashing all markets worldwide. While Canada and Mexico tariffs are currently on hold, China has retaliated, imposing their own tariffs against the United States. Under the macroeconomic uncertainty, most cryptocurrencies struggle at low prices, leaving many traders underwater, with massive realized and unrealized losses. Interestingly, TRUMP coin is one of the most affected in all this mess, punishing Donald Trump’s fans who bought it. TRUMP whale trader loses $21M after profiting $11M In particular, a crypto whale trader went from heaven to hell while trading TRUMP, the memecoin created by Donald Trump. On January 18, this trader sold all his 860,895 TRUMP for $23.8 million, after buying for $12 million. Lookonchain reported the over $11 million profit at that time, seeing the memecoin going from $13.94 to $27.67. However, as it happens with most memecoin traders, the whale sized up his bet and made another TRUMP purchase. 15 days ago, he spent $33.9 million to buy 766,083 TRUMP at $44.25 before the tariffs crash. According to Lookonchain ’s post , the 766,083 TRUMP holdings are now worth $12.85 million at $16.84 per token. This results in $21 million of unrealized losses, which ended up erasing all the trader’s previous gains. This whale who made a $11.8M profit on $TRUMP spent another $33.9M to buy 766,083 $TRUMP at $44.25 and has now lost $21M. He lost all his profits and over $9M of his initial capital! https://t.co/WTxtGTRK8z pic.twitter.com/SR3Vq0dNA3 — Lookonchain (@lookonchain) February 4, 2025 Donald Trump’s crypto activity Notably, the outcomes fruit of Donald Trump’s trade war have made analysts wonder if the US President was “the worst insider trader ever,” as Finbold reported.
