Trump meme coin drops 96% from peak
President Donald Trump’s Solana-based Official Trump (TRUMP) meme coin slid to around $2.90 on Tuesday after touching $2.87 overnight, marking its lowest level since shortly after the token launched in January 2025.
The token has fallen more than 15% over the past week and now trades more than 96% below its $73.43 all-time high reached just before Trump began his second term, even as major cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin and Ethereum recovered.
The decline coincides with weakening sentiment toward the US president, with prediction markets shifting to 58% odds of public disapproval and traditional polling averages compiled by data analyst Nate Silver showing about 54.8% disapproval.
Trump said Monday the conflict in Iran was “very complete, pretty much,” briefly easing market volatility before warning that “death, fire, and fury will reign” if Iran halts oil flows.
While Bitcoin rose roughly 1.5% in the past 24 hours to about $70,137 and Ethereum traded near $2,041, Trump’s meme coin remained under pressure amid the broader crypto market rebound.

Multiple Factors Weigh In, Intensifying U.S. Treasury Sell-Off! 5-Year Yield Breaks 5% for the First Time Since 2007, 10-Year Yield Surpasses 5.1%
The stronger-than-expected U.S. September PMI, international crude oil prices returning above $100, and Fed governors signaling possible rate hikes have all negatively impacted the bond market. The disappointing 5-year Treasury auction has further worsened market sentiment. The psychological barrier of a 5% yield on the 10-year U.S. Treasury is losing its significance as a "ceiling," with the market now starting to discuss a potential 6%. In addition to rate hike expectations, fiscal and supply pressures are also driving up long-term bond yields.
According to reports, the Trump administration considered a 90-day diesel export ban, but this was later denied, with the US Secretary of Energy openly opposing it.
On Wednesday, according to Politico, the Trump administration was preparing a 90-day ban on diesel exports. Shortly after, Reuters reported that the United States was not preparing to implement such a ban. On the same day, the U.S. Secretary of Energy stated that banning diesel exports would "definitely not work," as it would force refineries to cut production, thereby driving up gasoline and jet fuel prices. After Politico's report, U.S. diesel futures fell by more than 7% before rebounding slightly, but the losses were not fully recovered.
