Binance said it plans to open trading for the TRUMP token on the the morning of Jan. 19. The token is already trading on many other centralized exchanges, such as Bitget, KuCoin and Kraken according to CoinGecko.
On-chain data shows that the token has a market cap of just over $7.6 billion, and trading volume of approximately $15 billion.
While many of the largest crypto exchanges have eagerly embraced Trump’s official memecoin, the first Trump-themed token, one of the original Political Finance (PoliFi) tokens, had trouble getting listed on exchanges.
As CoinDesk reported earlier this year, ByBit and OKX rejected the team’s application to list the token given concerns about the project being too political. Kraken did not respond to their application to list, and would not discuss the matter on the record.
The first Trump token, the Ethereum-based MAGA, is down 84% from its June high of $17.80, according to CoinGecko, but continues to be actively traded.
MAGA dumped hard after the launch of the officialTrump token, falling from $3.50 to $1.44 over the weekend with its market cap declining from $158 million to $64 million. The token has slowly recovered after the initial fall likely due to general interest in Trump-themed tokens on the eve of the inauguration.
The tokenomics of TRUMP have been criticized by many online, who have pointed out that 80% of the token supply is controlled by wallets owned by CIC Digital.

KuCoin captured a record share of centralised exchange volume in 2025, with more than $1.25tn traded as its volumes grew faster than the wider crypto market.
What to know:
- KuCoin recorded over $1.25 trillion in total trading volume in 2025, equivalent to an average of roughly $114 billion per month, marking its strongest year on record.
- This performance translated into an all-time high share of centralised exchange volume, as KuCoin’s activity expanded faster than aggregate CEX volumes, which slowed during periods of lower market volatility.
- Spot and derivatives volumes were evenly split, each exceeding $500 billion for the year, signalling broad-based usage rather than reliance on a single product line.
- Altcoins accounted for the majority of trading activity, reinforcing KuCoin’s role as a primary liquidity venue beyond BTC and ETH at a time when majors saw more muted turnover.
- Even as overall crypto volumes softened mid-year, KuCoin maintained elevated baseline activity, indicating structurally higher user engagement rather than short-lived volume spikes.
