Celebrity Endorsed Meme Coins Plunge in Value, Retail Investors Suffer Significant Losses
The cryptocurrency market has been plagued by a recent trend of celebrity-endorsed meme coins, which have led to significant losses for retail investors.

According to market data, the price of $MELANIA has hit $0.123, while $TRUMP is currently valued at $3.66. The insiders, however, have reportedly made notable profits from token sales and fees, collecting over $600 million via these means.
