According to external sources, the TRUMP token rose from $1.37 to $3.60 within 10 days, an increase of approximately 93 per cent, after touching the low point in mid-August. However, the rebound did not change the situation in which most of the holders were still at a loss. The data on the chain also show that after the price went up, the wallets associated with the project team were quickly transferred to OKX for a large amount of currency, and the market then fell back.
Large transfers after a rebound
According to the report, within hours of the increase of TRUMP to $3.60, the team associated wallet was transferred to OKX in 2.62 million tokens, at the current price of approximately $6.21 million. Subsequently, TRUMP prices fell to US$ 2.40 at a time, about 33 per cent higher than the stage.
According to the article, this was not the first time a similar trend had occurred. In April this year, the same address was transferred to OKX to over 8 million TRUMPs, valued at approximately $23 million. It follows that the price rebounds, the team transfers and the subsequent falls have become a recurrent feature of the transaction.
Nearly a million addresses are at risk.
According to Nansen, as of July 2026, out of 1.48 million wallets purchased with TRUMP, 98.89 million addresses were in unrealized loss, with a combined loss of approximately $3.81 billion. Correspondingly, the other part of the wallet, which had entered earlier, held approximately $4.04 billion in unrealized gains.
- The low point appears on August 13 at US$ 1.37
- Stage height to $3.60.
- Higher and then transferred to OKX for approximately $6.21 million.
According to the article, this distribution of gains and losses is consistent with the usual structure of the Meme currency, where early holders and related internal addresses are gradually sold at the upswing stage, and subsequent buyers take on more expensive market chips. It was also mentioned that the median time for holding a loss address was less than 72 hours, indicating that a large number of purchases were concentrated in the short-term emotional heating phase.
Unlocking rhythm continues to increase supply
According to the article, the total number of TRUMP coins was 1 billion, of which 800 million were held by the Trump related entities and were gradually released under a three-year unlocking arrangement, calculated from the start of the line, which lasted until January 2028. By August 2026, approximately 69.2 per cent of the tokens had been unlocked and could be moved into circulation or sold.
It was reported that the continued unlocking of the lock meant that the market was subject to additional supply pressures over a long period of time. Even when the overall encrypted market is strong, a team address that transfers a token to an exchange during the rising demand phase can have a significant price repression. This transfer to OKX in August is considered the latest example of this model.
The difference between the foreign media focus and the holdout
The article also mentioned that the financial disclosure documents for the year 2025 showed that the revenues associated with encryption in that year were large, and that TRUMP authorized revenue was an important part of it. In response, it was stressed that the income of the project-related parties achieved a rhythm that contrasted sharply with the loss of most warehousers in the secondary market.
Overall, the core judgement of this review article is that the short-line rebound of TRUMP is more reflective of emotions and crowding-out drivers than changes in supply structures. In the context of continued unlocking and the transfer of team addresses to exchanges, the market remains sensitive to additional sales pressures.
