It was the surprise of the weekend, during the Crypto Ball, a gala for investors in digital currencies given in honor of Donald Trump on Friday January 17 in Washington: the launch of a cryptocurrency bearing the image of Donald Trump, the Trump Corner. At 9 p.m., the president-elect posted the image of this virtual currency, which represents him with his fist raised with the slogans « Fight, fight, fight », pronounced in July 2024 after his assassination attempt in Pennsylvania. “ It's time to celebrate everything we stand for: victory!

Taking into account the tokens kept by the Trump family but not tradable on the stock market, the valuation was around $60 billion on Sunday morning.
